Since you overwhelmingly want a mega dungeon and I enjoy making them (or starting to, at least), I figured I could direct some content that way but still keep it Dungeons/Lairs themed. For D/L #101+ I’ll created theme subterranean zones that connect to each other. That way, if you want to use them solo you can still do so.

We're treating each month like a "mini-Kickstarter," meaning that you're securing your copies of the book in advance. Then, once the books are ready (usually about 6-8 weeks after they're released on here) we'll ship the...
