Here's a three-level hold I made.

Enjoy.

The latest version of the hold can be found on this post.

This is a nice collection of DROD 3.0 puzzles. I've gotten to the first room of the third level, and sadly, I didn't make it on my first try due to an early, crucial placement mistake. That doesn't take away from the fun at all though.

Things start out easy enough in the first level. On the second level, I had a light sweat through some of the more intense rooms such as the guards room, and the insta-briar room (evil effect! great room!).

Aumtlich and Clone potions are mindless yet fun. But... take that room design, and add something special, like spread-out multiple toggle pressure plates that must lower multiple doors, mirrors for freezing the Aumtlich, plus something else to surprise us... that Aumtlich horde will be dreadfully tricky since parts of it will need to be kept alive :evil:!

Yeah, this is a pretty nice hold, which I think is worth getting published. Here's some thoughts on the levels:

Level 1: I generally don't see where the name came from, but whatever. There are some really good puzzles in here that I haven't seen used before like: 1N1W. 1E had an excellent technique to it. And the Brair room was great, too.

Level 2: Some more good puzzles. I hadn't seen anything like 1E before. 1N1E looks a bit familiar (from one of your other holds?) 2N was kinda long, but fun. The guards room was o.k, but got a bit crazy! 1N1W was fun, and I beat most of the room when I realized I had to move the clones in perfect position. 1W was crazy fun, too!

Level 3: Entrance was pretty fun too. 1E was excellent! Rest of the rooms were pretty good too!

Overall, this is a pretty good hold! My only complaint is that it is a little too messy looking. But, I've learned not to judge a book by it's cover! :D Keep going bomber!

Yeah, Level 2 1N1E seems to be from The Gel Hold, which he also made. That was more of a quick "look, I can make a TCB hold!" hold though, I think.
