Description

From publisher blurb:

It is said a hole runs straight to blackest Hell. The Belowdown, a 19-level catacomb-skein of old ruins, misbegotten terrors, dark dwarf reliquaries, shuddering magic. Sharpen your blade to find riches or death for Shadowdark RPG.

Dyson Logos released a series of 23 relatively compact maps with a theme: all these maps are connected via a central shaft. Logos calls this “Iseldec’s Drop” and made these maps available to all creators. We’ve used the first 19 maps, placing an entrance to the Utter Below at the bottom. I imagine this as the home of the Shadowdark, as much as any world-wide malaise can have one.

We’ve decided to put our spin on this concept, calling it Belowdown. You’ll find forgotten civilizations, eldritch runes, bestial mutants serving brassine masters, serpent-people waiting for the End Times, necro-wizards preparing to create an army of slimy undead, and far more within.

A massive megadungeon of 19 interconnected levels, each with B&W maps, described in terse, evocative prose with crucial features outlined.

Factions such as brass automatons, the devil-lich, snake-people awaiting the end of the world, ooze worshipping toad-men, drow exterminators, mutant servitors, daemons seeking penultimate Chaos, and more.

Written with a focus on getting into play, designed so you can place the Belowdown in almost any campaign with little fuss. Menagerie Press makes Shadowdark-friendly modular adventures that are plug-and-play with your existing worlds.
