Earlier this week I had the idea of trying to put together a megadungeon again. This was initially triggered by the creation of my “Multi Page Dungeon” page that collects most of the maps that span more than one page on the blog. I came across both the Darkling Depths (which has all the structure I would want from a Megadungeon without the mega) and the abortive Delve of Dread which I never went anywhere with.
So I grabbed a post-it and drew out the baseline of what I’d want in my megadungeon if I were to ever get around to drawing it.
I got a few questions about layout and WTF the “Vietnamese Cavern” was (I couldn’t remember the name and proper letters to use for Sơn Đoòng Cave), and a lot of “hmmm… this could be AWESOME!”
So I started with the Fungus Cave.
Then, just because S. John Ross had a dream sequence about it (complete with a wavy-distorted screen segue effect), I put together a faux spot-process version where the mushrooms have been rendered in a different colour of ink.
This also marks a strange turning point in my cartography… there’s a scale at the bottom of the page!
That is a Beautiful Map…..!!! Well done sir, love the way you did the mushrooms. I hope to see the other areas you planned get mapped as well. Thanks.

Absolutely beautiful. How about an image without a grid for us poor beknighted GURPS users.? :0
Tomorrow I’ll be posting a bunch of work-in-progress shots from this map, and I’ll include a version without the grid for you then.
I hang my head in humble thanks as a grateful Patreon.
Your mushrooms produce strange effects. Wild image.

Created a modified west March episodic style campaign on a community discord with about 12 on again off again players basing the world on your notes about this dungeon, durzig’s hold and your kingdom of Ezra. It has been played on fantasy grounds and is going strong. TY
