The Sunless Citadel

D&D 3rd ed. Adventures #1

by Bruce R. Cordell

Evil grows beneath the earth

Why should anyone travel the cracked cobblestones of the Old Road? The fortress that once cast its shadow across the road does so no longer -- some whisper that the earth swallowed the fortress whole in an age long past. Four brave adventurers resolved to discover the truth and set off down the Old Road, but they never returned.

The Sunless Citadel is the first in a series of eight stand-alone adventures for the Dungeons & Dragons game. This carefully crafted adventure, designed to challenge 1st-level D&D heroes, follows a path to a mysterious dungeon where evil has taken root, and a terrible tree and its dark shepherd plot in darkness.

To use this adventure, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player's Handbook , the Dungeon Master's Guide , and the Monster Manual .

I really liked this campaign. It was the first one I ever ran, and I had a great group to play with. If you ever go down, walk gently around the corpse of the dwarf in the library.

This is very fun adventure and I highly recommend reading or even better read it and then run it for your gaming group.

Loved running this dungeon. Nice factions, some good object interactivity, good mix of starter baddies, and cool ending set piece.

[Samir Rawas Sarayji · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was okayish, at least for a starting DM and new group. But it lacks in originality and setting.
