Re: Barrier Peaks!!!

Barrier Peaks was by Gygax. One of the levels of the
thing even has his initials (E.G.G.)spelled out of the
shape of the walls of the dungeon. Lots of ray pistols
with 3-6 charges, elevators that levitate you up and
down. Pretty fun, but not really SpellJammer as I
would want it.

PS - The original World of Greyhawk 2E Boxed set even
mentioned a strange "Cave of Steel" to the North of
the City of Greyhawk.
