I would have been more than happy to accept a catacomb or cavern map had you wanted to create one!

The reason why I write the prompts in the way I do is not to limit anyone's creativity, but because that's the kind of writing I personally tend to find inspiring. Of course it goes without saying that myself, and everyone else who runs these challenges, have no choice but to use our own best judgement in what is a cool idea and what isn't. I came up with what I thought was a really interesting idea, and I'm sorry if I failed at that.
Oh no, I wasn't taking a jab. I sincerely thought you were guiding the challenge towards an afterworld underworld theme.

But I have to admit, I never really considered asking. My bad.

WIP early, WIP often. Don't just post the one final map if you can at all avoid it (says that fellow who rarely does more than one post).
Yeah, that is a given. I vote that way myself.
(Luckily I don't have a problem with not posting my WIP, hehehehe)
