Rappan Athuk - Swords & Wizardry Version
The Granddaddy of All Dungeons Returns!
Rappan Athuk, the legendary mega-dungeon by Frog God Games and Necromancer Games is nothing more and nothing less than a good, old-fashioned, First Edition dungeon crawl updated for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the Swords & Wizardry rules. Very difficult, Rappan Athuk will truly strike fear into the hearts of the most stalwart adventurers. It offers legions of inventive traps, tricks, strange features, and monsters -- many of them never before seen. It affords numerous opportunities for roleplaying, but anyone willing to brave these subterranean halls better arrive ready to rumble, or their lives will be short indeed.
Many, many players have lost favored PCs delving into the depths of this dungeon, all the while giggling like children and having the time of their lives. Hundreds, if not thousands of players have combed the halls of Rappan Athuk over the years, seeking treasure and fame, making it one of the best-known dungeon locations the game has ever produced. Even players who have never entered its halls know the term: "Don't go down the Well!"
An adventure for 4 - 6 PCs
Character Levels 1 - 20

This is an excellent resource. There are some small errors, but they are easily accounted for.
For example, I found one of the spurs off the Purple Work cave, which I think is level four is supposed to go to another location, but that location has been scrubbed from this material, but the map was not scrubbed.
The biggest challenge is figuring out how to jump from one map to another because there are so many options and the rivers go through etc, but after awhile you figure it out, but it takes getting familiar with the material for that to happen. I do nto think someone could just open this up and begin playing it because there is so much. It is a huge trove of material, but very enjoyable. I would recommend this product to people. I purchased the supplemental maps that come with it and found them to be valuable and a nice aid.
