The DM’s Guide to Undermountain, the Dungeon of the Mad mage
I’m moving through the Dungeon of the Mad Mage campaign with my current group, and it’s going to take time to get through all of it. So, here are the guides to Undermountain that I’ve been able to develop thus far. It’ll be an ongoing project, and it will probably be a while before it’s complete… but the thing about war stories is that you have to fight the battles if you want to have any. I’m still fighting, but I hope you can get some good use out of how far we’ve made it.
