Questionably-useful cutout shapes to assist a DM in designing
a dungeon (along with their companion Monster & Treasure
Assortment sets). Best used with miniatures.

Dungeon Geomorphs Sets One-Three by Gary Gygax
The first three individual sets were later combined into the compilation
Dungeon Geomorphs Sets One-Three. They were followed up by
the Outdoor Geomorphs.
Interestingly, the individual sets featured sample dungeon sections that
were not included in the later compilation. As contributor
Paul Stormberg notes, "These are classic Gygax ones: secret temples, lost
demon gods, weird magic items, never again reproduced monsters, NPC's, etc.
In my opinion, one of the great unnoticed treasures of Greyhawk knowledge!"
Gary Gygax has since clarified that this information did not come from his
Castle Greyhawk dungeon, but was rather created specifically for
the Dungeon Geomorphs. Thanks to Bill Silvey for this info.
Set Four (Rooms, Chambers, and Passages) was planned but never released.
