Way, way, WAY back in the day when I had hair, pimples, and an irrational fear of girls, I spent hours laboring over detailed maps of dangerous and dank dungeons I would send my friends through during our weekly Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) sessions. I still have them and very much enjoy looking through my collection with my sons.
Recently, a gallery announced it was hosting a collection of dungeon maps, hand-drawn, by outsider artist David McLouth. Art or the purest and simpliest form of nostaliga? Most likely both. Either way, “awesome”.
Read more about it if you like, or take a look at the dungeon maps!

I too like looking back at my old drawings of dungeon maps and various monsters I created back in 5th grade (early 80’s). My son also got a kick out of it and decided to make some of his own. We are probably going to try and insert them into the D&D boardgames such as Castle Ravenloft and the upcoming Wrath of Ashardalon. Thing is, he made them so powerful, I have a feeling he will be dissapointed when he is taken out during the first turn of encountering one of his creations!
Optionally, Karl, you could let your son take on the role of the Monster he created. 🙂
