Episode 8: Dungeon of the Mad Mage [S3]

Dungeon of the Mad Mage [Season 3]

23 Levels of Pure D&D Dungeon Crawling Await!

Step into the legendary Dungeon of the Mad Mage, an officially published Dungeons & Dragons epic and one of the most infamous megadungeons ever written.

Beneath the streets of Waterdeep lies Undermountain:

23 sprawling dungeon levels filled with deadly traps, brutal encounters, strange factions, powerful magic, and secrets best left buried.

This is the ultimate long-term dungeon crawl for adventurers who enjoy danger, discovery, and hard-earned victory.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage offers a balanced mix of exploration, combat, roleplay, and puzzles. You’ll begin at Level 5 and grow in power as you descend deeper into madness, eventually pushing toward Level 20.

This is a drop-in, drop-out long campaign, where each session is a self-contained expedition—but every choice leaves its mark.

Campaign Concept: The TableMinis Spelunkers Guild

All characters are members of the TableMinis Spelunkers Guild, an adventuring collective dedicated to mapping, surviving, and conquering Undermountain. Between sessions, guild members can:

• Share expedition updates

• Trade magic items and loot

• Strategise for upcoming dungeon sections

• Coordinate specialised parties when certain levels demand specific skills or roles

  
  

Every Thursday is a new chapter in your descent.

Venue: HearthHart Inn

This campaign is hosted at HearthHart Inn, a cosy, tavern-style café that pairs perfectly with long dungeon delves and late-night scheming.

The space is shared with other patrons, creating a lively public atmosphere.

Food and drinks are available for purchase directly from the venue (no outside food or drinks).

Notes from TableMinis

Let’s be honest, this dungeon will take forever to finish. And that’s exactly the point.

23 levels of Undermountain is a beast, and we’re tackling it together. You’ll level up gradually, gain XP after encounters, and accumulate loot that can carry over into other adventures.

If you love:

• Challenging, tactical combat

• Dangerous environments

• Big loot and magical items

• Long-term character growth

• Cooperative problem-solving

…this dungeon delivers in spades.

Roleplay matters too. We strongly encourage brave, clever characters who can work with strangers, adapt to changing party compositions, and survive alongside whoever answers the guild’s call that week.

This is not a solo hero story. It’s a shared descent.

So grab your gear, sharpen your blades, and steel your nerves.

Every Thursday, we delve deeper.

Let’s under-summit Undermountain together. ____________________________________________________
