Hey! Congrats team - that's exciting! People must love the megadungeon. I always thought I was sort of an outlier... Of course, I guess the success of the Rappan Athuk and Ptolus kickstarters should have told me differently.

Thanks for the link correction. Somehow it got truncated from my cut-n-paste.

Just read a play report of a party who decided to use a rock to mud scroll to make a safe place to camp in Arden Vul and accidentally bored into a hidden treasure room in the process!

That's awesome! Where's that play report hosted?
It was in one of the threads at the MeWe group: MeWe: The best chat & group app with privacy you trust.

I run Compose Dream Games RPG Marketplace
I just bought the PDF from the CDG Marketplace (which I run, but there was no way I wasn't going to pay for this glorious megadungeon).
Joseph has kindly set the price to $109 CAD (~$85 USD if you flip that toggle at the top atm), passing on savings from the lower cut we take to anyone picking up the book for there: composedreamgames.com/marketplace/arden-vul

I've run many 5E sessions in Arden Vul. I laid an overarching story plot that had the PC’s play 10 sessions to get to level 3 before they found out that some slavers had sold various family members to the cultists who reside in the ruins. They have explored most of the northern sections of level 3 as well as the tower of Scrutiny and excursions to level 2, 4, and 5. The PC's have just used a potion of fly to explore the great chasm. They were surprised to learn that there are several entrances on level 2 and 3 they missed and that it goes waaaay deeper than they ever imagined. They just cleaned out the Halfling thugs on level 3. They have recovered some family members, and are keen to explore the boundaries of the ruins. There is plenty of foreshadowing and NPC factions. They have had minor interactions with the Beastmen, Sun Scarred Knights, Goblins, Daltons Darlings, and have seen the Pukel-manders. We’re having a lot of fun so far! I think the key to running this setting well is to give the players enough of a motive to begin exploring, and then try to keep up the preparation required to have fun and fulfilling game sessions and just see where the player curiosity takes them. I also have some other stuff standing by, including quests for the Blue Lady in case they want to do other activities entirely. Thye hard part is trying to guess where they might go next. They have changed their minds three times now and I've mostly had to wing it.
