3. Fifth Edition Mega Dungeon! Verified Buyer – 19 January 2025

   I was looking to start a D&D campaign in Waterdeep and had been searching around for maps and descriptions for the Undermountain dungeon beneath it and so was very happy when this D&D 5th edition source book came out. The Undermountain, referred to as “The Dungeon of The Mad Mage” in this book, was first detailed in three or four classic D&D 2nd edition boxed sets or source books, which covered 6 or so levels of this mega dungeon. This book published for use with 5th edition D&D goes further by giving an overview of 20+ levels of the Undermountain dungeon, the most comprehensive source book yet for this adventure location. The earlier (out-of-print) D&D materials describing the Undermountain were more detailed, as they each covered 3 or 4 levels or sub-levels of the Undermountain. But this book gives a good 11-15 page overview of all 20 levels and a full page black-and-white map of each, which are numbered for looking up the descriptions. That was just what I needed in trying to figure out the basics of what the Undermountain looks like. But with so many levels all in one book, the maps are not the full levels from the older editions. Comparing the maps in Dungeon of the Mad Mage with my Undermountain books from previous editions, the maps for the well known levels (The Dungeon Level, Arcane Chambers, Sargauth, Wyllowwood, Muriel’s Gauntlet, Skullport, and Trobriand’s Graveyard) fit within sections of the earlier maps without much adjusting. But other levels (The Twisted Caverns, The Lost Level, and The Troglodyte Warrens) have been revised so that they don’t have the same floor plans as earlier versions of these levels and cannot be used easily with earlier materials describing those levels, which was a disappointment to me and the reason I can’t give this book 5 stars. That said, this book does introduce many of the Undermountain’s deeper levels which either were not included or not detailed extensively in the earlier sources. So it still could be useful even for someone using the earlier D&D sources on the Undermountain. One critique that comes up about this adventure is that you don’t get the text boxes for DMs to read to their players and there isn’t a lot of details per level. But there is enough for a creative DM to flesh out the key areas of the Undermountain dungeon for their players to explore and build a campaign around. There is even 8 pages and maps showing the key locations of Skullport, the rough and tumble town that is under Waterdeep, which had a book of it’s own dedicated to it in 2nd edition of D&D. I always wanted to know what Skullport and the Undermountain looked like and this is the best overview of them out there. Don’t expect this to be an adventure with a major overhanging plot fully fleshed out for the DM to just drop players into. But if your campaign includes exploring of dungeons and old school delving for treasure, this book opens up this entire area below Waterdeep for your players to explore and for DMs to work into any D&D campaign.

   The book came a few days ago, it was a gift for my boyfriend. When opened, we got surprised, it was listed as used but it looked like new to us. The pages are in perfect shape and no damages. The hard cover had some corners a little bit folded but minor, we loved it. Now we can play another great DND campaign thanks to the book. No missing pages, art is great.

   Mi aspettavo quello che ho avuto, un manuale pieno di spunti , situazioni , personaggi, idee, un vero e proprio calderone con una buona dose di caos.
   D’altronde questo è il dungeon di un pazzo con troppo potere, non poteva essere altrimenti, non potevamo aspettarci ordine o un filo logico.
   Aspettatevi di calarvi in un labirinto di follia in un vero e proprio stabulario arcano pieno di tante creature che saranno liete piano piano di impazzire insieme a voi: qui l’unica garanzia è che la ragione rimane sempre fuori dal pozzo!
