L3 Deep Dwarven Delve is a fantasy adventure module or "module" for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (1st edition).
Deep Dwarven Delve is a straightforward dungeon crawl that leads the players through an abandoned dwarven mine, centering on freeing dwarves in another world from thralldom.
Deep Dwarven Delve is a sequel to L1 The Secret of Bone Hill and L2 The Assassin's Knot , and was written as the intended final adventure in the "L" series. Len Lakofka completed the manuscript in 1979 for the 1st Edition AD&D rules, although it was not published and lay forgotten in the TSR design vault for twenty years. The manuscript was eventually recovered, and as part of the Dungeons & Dragons game's Silver Anniversary celebration, L3 was finally published as one of the modules available as a limited release as part of the Dungeons & Dragons Silver Anniversary Collector's Edition set released in 1999. [1] However, in discussions at www.dragonsfoot.org, Lakofka has stated that the rewrite he had done with one of Wizards of the Coast's editors had gotten lost, and the published version was "about 80% of what the first draft of the module was." [2]
Lakofka published a sequel in 2009, Devilspawn , which was released through Dragonsfoot. [3]
