FIRST OF ALL, THE 78 MAPS (100% hand-drawn and colored using erasable black pen and gray crayon, with module B2 for scale)
A close-up of some of the maps:
WHAT IS IT?
A 78-level dungeon for Dungeons & Dragons.
For character levels 1st through 10th.
Use any rules you want. The dungeons are mostly stat-free. I myself used mostly the 1981 D&D Basic and Expert rulebooks edited by Tom Moldvay, David Cook, and Steve Marsh. I also used a monster from the AD&D Monster Manual and a monster from the AD&D Monster Manual II. If you watched the 1st season of Stranger Things, you could probably figure out which monsters. I used nothing in these dungeons that wasn't available in 1983.
Chock full of monsters, most of which want to kill you!
Gold, jewels, magic, and the fantastic!
Alluring and weird traps!
The Temple of Evil Chaos snakes through 22 of the 78 dungeon levels.
The undead are more dangerous in the Temple areas!
A magical and unmappable minotaur labyrinth twists through 5 of the 78 levels.
NOT pretentious, artsy, complex, involved, intricate, fancy, ingenious, or anything of the sort. It is just a fun romp with lots of levels, lots of monsters, lots of magic, and lots of treasure.
Production values? What's that?
The entire thing is done with 1983 technology. It is all hand-written and clasped in a 3-ring binder. 243 pages. (Well, I had to use a scanner for reproduction. Did they have scanners back in 1983?)
These are the dungeons we could have made in middle-school, but were too lazy. It's like the whole thing is flooded with Mountain Dew!
A couple of threads about these dungeons with more details and questions answered:

Please note: The color of the 3-ring binder may vary.
WAIT! WHY IS IT CALLED "MIKE'S DUNGEONS"? YOUR NAME ISN'T MIKE.
Mike was the most popular boy's name in 20th-century USA, so it stands for you, because these are YOUR dungeons. Bonus if you are actually named Mike!
PRICE:
Remember back to 1983 (or imagine it if you're too young). Most big D&D products cost $12, whether the AD&D hardbacks (except for the DMG) or the D&D boxed sets. $12 in 1983 is equivalent to the 2019 price of...
$30.91
SHIPPING AND HANDLING:
USA: $30.91 plus $6 shipping = $36.91
HOW TO PAY:
Paypal. The safest way is for you to PM me the following:
1. The email address associated with your Paypal account.
2. The country you want it shipped to.
Then I'll end you via Paypal a request for payment. This way we avoid the risk of accidentally sending money to the wrong person.
No Paypal account and you aren't about to get one? Then maybe we can work something else out. PM me.
WHEN WILL I GET MY DUNGEONS?
This is all print-on-demand. I do not have stacks of these things in my basement (though that would be cool...). I have a place that does the printing. I have another place where I buy the binders. I have yet another place where I buy the shipping boxes. It all depends on how fast those guys get the printing done, and how fast they give me the boxes and binders. Even in a perfect tsunami of problems, with everything all FUBARed, I can't imagine it ever taking more than 2 weeks from the time you pay me to the time I ship. So...Ships in 2 weeks or less.
By all the D&D gods, what am I forgetting? I'm sure you'll let me know!
