I bought this as a sourcebook for the Underdark and not as an adventure to run. Kind of seems like Wizards has been combining their sourcebooks with modules. This sucks for DMs like me, who use resources from Wizards, but have no use for pre-made adventures.
That being said, it seems like pretty fun adventure with some nifty ideas, and as a sourcebook it is pretty good too with a large map of the underdark’s expanse in relation to the surface of the Sword Coast. Also, included are maps, encounter tables, npcs and overviews of major Underdark cities like Blingendstone, Gracklestugh, Menzobarrenzan (did i spell it wrong? idgaf) and others. There’s monsters included, and a couple of old favorites are featured: derro and ixitxachitl. There’s demon lord stats too, for the likes of Orcus, Demogorgon, Juiblex and more. In the latter half of the adventure , demon lords enter the material plane (rituals!) and run amok in the Underdark and the pcs have to return from whence they escaped to defeat them.
Beautiful illustrations.
I was surprised at how well this functioned as a sourcebook while still being a playable adventure. Or maybe it’s the other way round. I dunno, but this is good stuff. I bought it at a considerable discount, which softened my critique, no doubt.
Also, there are no bad modules, only bad DMs.
