Dungeon Crawl Novels
Gajejean
players about fantasy novels. I'm looking for suggestions for *good*
fantasy novels that primarily take place in a dungeon/cavern setting. What
I mean is, I've read numerous great fantasy novels of an epic nature
(complex plots, great battles, etc in the Lord of the Rings vein), but
sometimes I just want a good, simple, intense, d&d-like dungeon crawl novel.
Does anyone have any suggestions for titles, if there are any, that might
fit the description? Thanks for any help.

Salvatore. You might also want to read some of the early D&D books. They tend to
be rather simple in their plot line.

pretty much dungeon crawls in novel form taken directly from the original first
edition modules.

book that was about the absurdity of D&D? The book was about characters who
killed everyone in the dungeon, and won all the treasure, only were having a
hard time getting this rather large statue out to where they can cash in on it.
Back on topic (or back off topic, maybe I was off off topic above)), I believe
there were a series of books called "The Dungeon" by Philip Jose Farmer. I
bought the first one, but couldn't realy get into it. These books were about
some people exploring this giant dungeon they had discovered. I think the feel,
though, was more exploratory and "dark continent" if you get what I mean, and
not a dungeon crawl per-se.

Don't bother; the series had little to do with "dungeons" in anything like the
traditional sense. It wasn't written by Farmer, either; it was written by
different authors, one per book, changing each time. So things got confusing
and/or boring quickly. Not worth your time. If you really want them, I'll
sell them to you for the cost of shipping, but, uh, caveat emptor, y'know?

_Escape from Undermountain_ by Mark Anthony, a TSR-published Forgotten
Realms novel (and thus not just D&D-like, but actually D&D itself). It's
not a Pulitzer-winning novel by any means, but it's decently-written, fun
escapist fantasy IMHO, set in one of TSR's best-known dungeon-crawl
dungeons.

I've sent an email to D. Roper with a warning about his/her happy99.exe
infection and advice on how to remove it.
