[QUOTE="Davelozzi, post: 3209232, member: 771"] When I first picked up the boxed set, I was disappointed in the blank areas, however when I actually used it in my game, those areas were the larger chunk of the part we used (specifically the SW & NE quadrants of Level 1). Both of these areas were controlled by factions, one of which was a group of Taladan minotaurs that wandered in via a portal from Krynn (I was never that huge of a Dragonlance fans by I loved the minotaur empire on Taladas). I can't recall what the other faction was anymore, as it was many years ago (during the campaign that I ran through junior high and high school). The other thing that comes to mind is that at one point the party wandered into a room that had some item floating in a shaft of light My cousin's enchantress reached into the shaft, and as soon as she did, all of her possessions were teleported away to some other location. My cousin never found his PC's stuff and always grumbled about it after that. I think this one may have been an encounter that was actually part of the published product, but I'm not really sure. I don't believe that we ever made it off Level 1. Overall, I would say it was one of the least memorable portions of that campaign, so I'd have to say that the product didn't really wow me. I did like the later dungeon crawl module [i]Undermountain: the Lost Level[/i] quite a bit though, and while I can't say I ever used it as is, I think that I probably used it for inspiration when designing some other dwarven dungeon on my own.
