Before MM is over, I'd like to stock up on some more sets and I've always loved the Alchemy Chasm that DAZ Studio comes prepackaged with, the sort of ancient fantasy expansive undergound dungeon/chasm kind of deal, what would be a recommendation for similar sets? Or crazy idea, has anyone ever made some kind of 'expanded alchemy chasm' with connecting modules and just overall more flexibility and detail?

    Orestes Graphics has a lot of cool things in the underground/dungeon genre - check out https://www.daz3d.com/the-underdocks-bundle 

    Jack Tomalin's store is full of great stuff  - https://www.daz3d.com/cista-sanctus is an underground watery dungeon type place. 

    First Bastion has a cool cave product - https://www.daz3d.com/spiral-descent-cave-entrance

    If you look Jack up in the vendor list and then click "PC+ only" you'll find a lot of great stuff - things from the early days of the plat club are $1.99 and he made a lot of sets back then that stand the test of time very well.

    Alchemy Chasm was originally a part of the PC collection. Not sure whether it was one of Jack Tomalin's though. It might  have been one of Nouschka's. These days it's just listed as a DAZ original, so there isn't an easy way to check for the original artist.

    Hmm, now I'm wondering if I've still got the old alchemy chasm installed... That takes me back :)

    I have often wondered if there is any benefit it buying those sets included in the starter essentials, are the included ones lite versions or exactly the same?

    I think those included in the Essentials packages are all native DAZ Studio versions. The corresponding products in the store are the original Poser or Legacy versions (if it even exists). Take, for example, Secret Garden Shaded Haven. It is in the Genesis 2 Starter Essentials Female as all .duf/.dsf, but the product, which is now included in the package separately, is all .obj/.pp2/.pz2/.cm2/.dsa.

    According to the old wiki readme, it was RedhouseStudios - i.e. Jack T plus old partner(s)

    Ah, I wasn't sure of the artist. I do remember that Moyra had a texture set for it (Al Khemia, or Al Khamia), but she's moved her store, and I don't seem to have that set in my backup files.
