[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 3923084, member: 5868"] The adventure is "mission-based" which takes you into sections of the ruins on an in-out basis without expecting the party to actually wander around in Undermountain (and doesn't have enough map to allow you to -- it just sort of hand-waves dunegon adventuring off the map). They have scanned pieces of the original maps, but don't have the entire map of each level in the product. The first section sort-of corresponds to a section of Level I (if you ignore the Yawning Portal map, which lacks, well, a yawning portal) , but you can't correspond any of the subsequent sections to actual locations on the total Undermountain maps. I haven't cross-walked the EtU encounters with RoUM encounters to see if there is any correspondence ... frankly I was just too disappointed in the product to bother. I think they wanted to give a flavor of Undermountain, without actually being UNdermountain as usable by a DM. Personally, I can't see running an UM-based campaign with just the 3.5 adventrue. I'd want the RoUM boxed sets for when the players decide to go off the rails. [/QUOTE]
