This time I talk about the classic megadungeon "Caverns of Thracia" - a surface area and 4.5 levels of caverns, a underground garden paradise, and even steam technology cellars! With a naturalistic environment, readable style, and a real variety of environments, this one has stood the test of time for me. What did you think? Tell me in the comments.

Every other person I have seen covering this type of content is very awkward. Your speaking ability and the way you structure the information are top notch. Thank you for existing!!

I ran the 3e conversion of this a decade ago, and we had so much fun in the Caverns. Definitely one of my favourite dungeons I've ever run. I love the verticality of the dungeon design with the chasms dropping down to the lower level, the rope bridges, and the general looping design. I love beastmen as antagonists, so that's probably why I enjoyed it so much. But there's a lot of classic undead tropes as well like the room where more and more skeletons keep rising. The climax of our particular campaign was a massive battle at the palace of the minotaur king with a player orchestrated slave rebellion. It turned into a bloody slaughter with only two survivors but it was an epic end.

I feel like more campaigns should end that way! If you've built big stakes, making players pay to resolve them is fair.

I'd love to check this out!Jaquaysing with the written/audible S in there was Jennell's preferred way of putting it. Wanted to mention that to honor her. Thanks for the fantastic review!

@@OwenEdwardsBooks Very cool! I am a ttrpg designer, and I appreciate the way you look at rpgs. Your approach is more academic, but at the same time, meaningful. It's a unique perspective that gives me new insights into the hobby. Well done, looking forward to seeing more!

It used to be available on Drivethrurpg, but isn't any longer - I think it was only taken down last year or so. Sorry I can't help with that. Someone might be willing to share their version, of course!
