EX1 EX2

Dungeonland (EX1) is a 1983 adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) roleplaying game, written by Gary Gygax for use with the First Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) rules. It is an adaptation of Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with the various characters from the book translated into AD&D terms.[1][2] [3]

The EX module code stands for extension, as the adventure is designed to be inserted as an independent addition to another, ongoing scenario.[4] In Gygax's own campaign, an early version of Dungeonland was an extension of Castle Greyhawk.[3] In this module, the player characters (PCs) are plummeted into what White Dwarf reviewer Jim Bambra referred to as "a strange partial plane".[5]
