All the adventures were written by @TheEdVerse. Ed, can you provide any memories or anecdotes about writing this boxed set? pic.twitter.com/IzTGhyazoS

…Dave Sutherland Empire of the Petal Throne dungeon map; that's where most of the gigantic rooms came from.
At the same time, I was writing all of those mini-adventures in one week (around my library day job and its 100-mile-each-way daily commute). :}#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 26, 2020

The “home” Realms campaign was and is all intrigue and PCs have ‘day jobs’ as well as adventuring, and developing relationships with NPC neighbours, so Undermountain was crammed with burnt-out torches and other remnants of previous adventurers, as well as 4)
…mysterious magical effects and hidden storage niches inside pillars with odds and ends and cryptic written messages inside them, so my players were constantly piecing together mysteries and stumbling over guild master and noble conspiracies in the Deep.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 26, 2020

It was all great fun. Steve Schend was editor for the Undermountain boxed set, and had the unenviable task of paring down all of my mountain of details into something that'd fit inside that box. I think we managed to hand DMs a fun toolbox.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 26, 2020
Oh, in THAT case…banners for your fave faction, suitable for car radio masts and wearing on hat plumes at conventions are a must, too! (Plus one for every guild and noble house of Waterdeep you may want to be associated with. ;} )

I grew up in the era of pennant banners on every bedroom wall…and see no reason why those shouldn't make a comeback.

Of course, said suitcase would have at least two secret compartments for the covert transport of small, flat DM essentials (folded backup emergency dungeon, list of NPC names/stats/descriptions for random use).#Realmslore
