List of Undermountain resources

[Big Mac]

I've been trying to learn more about Undermountain. We have some topics for some Undermountain RPG products (and resources) but not all of them. I thought I would make a master list of what is out there, so I can make sure I've not missed anything useful (that I might want to buy a copy of). I'd also be interested to hear about any Undermountain resources or references to Undermountain in products that are for other parts of Forgotten Realms, novels, comics or anything else.

I'd like to keep specific discussions out of this list topic. But I'll try to link this post to discussions in other topics, so that people can find lots of information about Undermountain by hopping over.

I was thinking of adding a separate list of RPG products that include references to Undermountain. I had a skim through the 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and that has some Undermountain references. I'm thinking that could be a very very long list.

Does anyone know if there are any novels about Undermountain?

EDIT: I found a novel called Escape from Undermountain.

[ghendar]

Don't know if you're interested in this but there was a computer game called Descent To Undermountain.

I also found a couple Undermountain articles in Dragon Mag.
Dragon 167 - Article title is The Game Wizards written by Ed Greenwood.
Dragon 227 - The Reports From Undermountain written by Steven Schend.

Don't know if you're interested in this but there was a computer game called Descent To Undermountain.

Oh, yes! That's totally the sort of thing I'm looking for. Maybe someone has put up some guides to the game that could be used to build additional tabletop content for adventures in Undermountain.

Dragon 167 - Article title is The Game Wizards written by Ed Greenwood.
Dragon 227 - The Reports From Undermountain written by Steven Schend.

I suspect (unconfirmed) both of these were basically Dragon Mag advertisements for both boxed sets.

Thanks. Can anyone confirm Ghendar's theory about this magazine issues?

[ghendar]

Okay, my theory is partially correct. The article in 167 is indeed kind of a teaser for the first boxed set. It gives some general details about UM to whet the appetite

The article in 227 is different and details the comings and goings of people entering UM from the Yawning Portal, as well as mentioning new entry points and even making some updates to the first level map that include cave ins. Interesting stuff.

If computer games count, then a section of Neverwinter Nigts: Hordes of the Underdark is set in Undermountain. This walkthrough has maps as well as summaries of the encounters.

Thanks Brassdragon and Ghendar. (I'm sure I will have to add other sections later.)

I've had a skim through the 3.5 book Underdark and can't find any mention of Undermountain. I wonder if it does not technically count as part of Forgotten Realms's Underdark for some reason.

From what I remember, Undermountain has some connecting points to the Underdark but is not technically part of the Underdark.

[ghendar]

I was just leafing through FR1 Waterdeep and the North and it only contains the briefest of mentions of Undermountain with no real details given.

I also did a cursory check of both FR campaign box sets and The North box set and they don't really mention anything.

It looks that way. Although I have found an article on Forgotten Realms Wiki that says the area used to be called Melairbode. Maybe that older name is mentioned in Underdark sources that miss out Undermountain.

Shannon Appelcline does say on the blurb on DMs Guild, that FR1 Waterdeep and the North mostly focuses on Waterdeep itself. I guess I'll probably need to pick up FR1 at some point.

Do you know the pages in FR1 that mention Undermountain?

[apotheot]

Don't forget the Planescape adventure The Great Modron March takes a quick detour there. Also, the Fall of Myth Drannor has some nice information about an event called Halaster's Payback, which I found really amusing and pertinent to the story.
Edit
Oh, the Novel 'Once Around the Realms' visits there, as does 'The Paladins' novella and (iirc) 'Silverfall: Tales of the Seven Sisters'.
