I want to buy a megadungeon for my impending new campaign, as one of the options to explore in a sandbox context. Right now my top three choices are:
1. Barrowmaze
2. Rappan Athuk
3. Forbidden Caverns of Archaia
I don't own any and they're all expensive, so just want to go with one for now. I do own the 3E versions of Whiterock, Larin Karr, Abysthor, Barakus, and Thracia, but both want something more "mega-y" and also already converted to 5E (I realize Whiterock is a true megadungeon, but the others are borderline). I also own Dungeons of the Mad Mage and the first Undermountain box set, so that could factor in.
Basically I want something easy to drop in and out of, with a relative diversity of rooms (minimal tedium ala Undermountain's many empty rooms). I would also like it to be interesting to read, with tons of tidbits of lore and mysteries. Unique creatures and magic items or artifacts are a plus.
Suggestions?
