Great use of the fantastic looking map here. Having the side-view and a player handout version is rad.
Working with the map, the encounters have some fun verticality and are generally well fleshed out with all sorts of details.
I notice that there's a reference to a location not in the module and I see in the comments that this is supposed to connect to another dungeon you've done? That's cool, although it makes this difficult to stand on its own.
This would definitely be a fun insert into a campaign with similar themes, thanks for making it!

The Lightless KingdomSeems well put together and easy to reference even if the players don't go in the exact numerical order of rooms. The only note is for area 5 (I've seen the other comments on that too) and a quick clarification for the intent of the teleportation runes as part of a larger dungeon, or as a pathway to another segment of the adventure.
Very solid and quick dungeon. This is a lot wordier than I would expect for it's brief length, but it makes it very detailed and clear to run. It is also general enough that it can be fit into almost any campaign.
It's extremely simple and rock solid, which can be a positive or negative depending on the type of game being run. Regardless, this is very well written and executed. Nice work.

The Curse of Blackjaw CoveAbsolutely love this. It’s clear and concise, but the prose is evocative (I especially like the description of the denizens of area 5). The new creatures are cool and deadly in ways that are sure to terrify the players. The ONLY critique that I have is that area 5 mentions a pathway to access “area 8” which is not included in this adventure. I completely understand WHY it isn’t, but I’ll admit that it took me going back to the map a couple of times before I realized that area 8 is a part of the larger dungeon complex in which this particular section resides, so a parenthetical note there would have helped me a lot.
Overall, 5/5. I’m going to run it.

Grimdark Options for Shadowdark RPGLove the map style! Are they hand-drawn or is there an app that gives it that awesome look?

The Midnight MenagerieLove the vertical map, very cool!! Does the teleportation runes in area 5 lead 'off-map'?

Reaping at BeltineIt leads into a whole extra section of the mega-dungeon. I'm trying to interconnect these maps, There are over ten pages of 8.5x11 maps that I'm detailing. I'm also working on tying in other people's dungeons, so if you have any Shadowdark adventures on itch that I can link to and say, "This cave leads to Taylor's adventure," let me know!
