Wasn't there a Dragon magazine article about four-dimensional hypercubes or some such?

May have been; indeed it wouldn't surprise me at all. I hadn't read it before making my dungeon though.

-- Steve thinks that some such article was probably the inspiration behind a friend's Villains and Vigilantes adventure set in a hypercube-shaped "literal interpretation" of the Eagles' Hotel California.

Good find! (Although we'll skip over potential copyright issues...) I didn't remember it being a Traveller article, and that issue is too early for me, so I may have seen it in a "Best of the Dragon" compilation somewhat later.

Incidentally, turn to page 34 and you'll find an article on expanding the boardgame Imperium. Imperium is the GDW boardgame that first introduced what would become the official Traveller setting. The highlight of my Traveller collection is the second copy ever printed of Imperium, signed, authenticated, mint and unpunched.

Believe it or not, it was an eBay find, and not an especially expensive one (less than US$100 if I recall correctly).
