This is a site for discussing roleplaying games.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Best published megadungeon?

How is Expedition to Undermountain (for 3.5)?

Larsdangly

I've been curious about that as well (just in an academic sense; I don't play 3.5E and don't intend to). It is hard to see how it could stack up with the original boxed sets, which are pretty great.

Good question. The 2e Undermountain material was disappointing.

Quote from: RPGPundit;999766I guess it mainly depends on whether you're going to run it or not.

Been mulling this over. I guess any campaign dungeon that gets run & enjoyed will be worth it since they support months or years of play; some questions: how good is the presentation; is it easy to use, does it have a lot of fun/interesting stuff, how does the value compare to something much cheaper like Stonehell -  http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/poleandrope ?
I see Dwimmermount is also $75 for hardcover + pdf - http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/133746/Dwimmermount-Labyrinth-Lord-version so that looks like a good comparison.

What did you want that they didn't provide? I see big color maps, a couple hundred mostly good room entries, skull port is better than a lot of commercial settings from that era. I think they did a relatively good job on this one.

I think the Skullport supplement is excellent.

Skullport was fairly good. I guess it might be a case of wishing for too much, but they were also selling it as too much. I wanted a ginormous megadungeon with everything covered, and instead we got like, one not entirely complete level and some other stuff.
