Description

Dungeon Lairs is a set of generic full-colour floorplans of monster lairs for use with 25 mm miniatures in a fantasy role-playing game. [1] The supplement contains 15 rooms on twelve A4 cardstock sheets:

The supplement also includes a 12-page booklet with tables of random encounters and treasures for each of the floorplans. [2]

Publication history

Games Workshop first published Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in 1986. The supplement Dungeon Lairs was published the following year, a boxed set with artwork by Dave Andrews and Colin Dixon. [3]

Reception

Graeme Davis reviewed Dungeon Lairs for White Dwarf #91, and stated that "If you use floorplans, Dungeon Lairs will definitely be a worthwhile addition to your collection. Even if you don't, it might be worth a look - the sample dungeon is readily plunderable for ideas, and the supplemental WFRP material might be useful if you GM that game." [1]
