The problem I am running into is accurately mapping this out ( we have a battle mat and minis, but it takes a long time ) and keeping the game moving at an acceptable pace. Also, because the PCs have no idea what this dungeon actually is, its difficult to get them interested in the story behind it, as the story is introduced rather slowly. Does anyone have experience running this dungeon?
friedmad 04-22-05, 12:07 PM	yeah, dont..... to run it as its designed is next to impossible. i use it merely for inspiring smaller dungeons (taking pieces out of it to fit into my own campaign)
cybosage 04-22-05, 12:09 PM	Im beginning to think that, but I really wanted to give it a try as it was designed. Perhaps I will have a celestial contact the pcs, teleport them out, and tell them he may need their help in the future...

Good luck running it! (meant positively), 7th level cleric of St. Cuthbert signing out Okay, so he's in a good mood because he mauled a group of specters with his awesome power in that dungeon.

(i'm the "mapper") However, if i were you, i would just print the map and give it to the players. (make them find it at the beggining of every section). If you can modify the map to remove secret doors, it's even better. But going into this dungeons "blindly" is not a good idea and let the players map everything can be boring for those who are waiting after the mapper. As for the story behing all that... it's so long between 2 story events that it's almost impossible for the players to be interested into the history of the dungeon.
