4.0 out of 5 stars Solid compendium of lore for major netherworld adventures, May 1, 2000

By	Kent D. Kelly "darkseraphim" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book will add amazing depth to your campaigns, by providing you with exhaustive information on caverns and the depths of the Underdark. Included are rules on the Underdark, swimming, climbing, bridges, falling, spelunking, fatigue, skills, combat underground, BattleSystem wars underground, cave-ins, mining, new equipment, and much more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Extensions of the rules, February 19, 2000

By	Shadowfire (College Park, MD) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I can't say that this out-of-print book is important, necessary or even interesting for the AD&D player, but it does contain a relative wealth of rules and information about underground locales (water, cave-ins, etc.) and also presents a not-too-badly done version of the Underdark (the one prior to the existance of Menzoberranzan).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best AD&D Books ever, January 5, 2008

By	Mighty Biffer (Denver, Co) - See all my reviews

This survival guide puts the roll playing emphasis on the journey and not just the combat rounds. The material is presented well and is entertaining. The information is thorough enough to lead DMs to develop games and campaigns that are engrossing and not just a series of die rolled battles. It should inspire players into seeing the possibility of roll playing the journey for the journey and not just the respite between a series of dice battles. I have used this book for over 20 years of game playing!
