[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8093817, member: 2209"] I recently read through a bunch of Barrowmaze, it does the horizontal level with barrows so east to west or whichever direction gives you the toughness gradient. Be aware it has a heavy undead theme which is pretty harsh in the OSR Labyrinth Lord, but much more forgiving in 5e mechanics. Rappan Athuk has been a while but IMO was decently interesting and mixed to start but there comes a point with a city ton of goblins which looked like it could bog down. 5e does a better job of them being relevant in combats with bounded accuracy, but if it is a place to pop in and out it will probably work better than a dedicated slog. It's overall theme is Orcus. I do not have the third one but it is more stuff from the Barrowmaze guy. Right now for the next week [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4049/Frog-God-Games?src=dtrpgsaleguide&affiliate_id=17596']Frog God Games[/URL] has its 50% off sale so it is a decent time to pick up Rappan Athuk. For 5e it is $25 for the PDF, if you just want the inspiration it is $12 in Swords & Wizardry and Pathfinder editions. Check out the other Frog god stuff as well, a ton of others with some really deep sales on some in some editions, like Slumbering Tsar, 852 pages of Orcus wasteland and base megadungeon in Pathfinder for $6.
