I almost forgot! Dungeon 100 The Lich Queen's Beloved should be on that list!

It is not official so it isn't.

A survey about the best magazine adventures would probably be cool.

I have fond memories of both Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury.

Sunless Citadel was fun because I teleported my PCs into the middle of it, so they had to figure out the structure. About that time someone here was doing analysis of the branchings of maps in adventures, and I realized that simply adding a portal into the middle of the main layout created an extra level of complication that greatly improved the map choices players had to make.

I limited myself to three adventures:

1. Red Hand of Doom. As one of the few WotC adventures that is regularly praised I suppose there is no need to justify this choice.

2. Sons of Gruumsh. This is an excellent small Chris Perkins adventure that is often overlooked due to sheer unpopularity of FR. But it's a great adventure that can be easily adapted to any world.

3. Shadowdale. I realise this is never going to make a top 10 list - again, the anti-FR bias will show - but it's a great collection of dungeons and set-pieces. The mechanics for liberating Shadowdale are quite good also. It deserves a much better reputation and it's by Rich Baker so it's good by default.

When was FR ever unpopular? Not around here.

Yeah, that's a really odd thing to say. It's very clearly by far the most popular D&D campaign setting.

Your replies surprise me.

My experience has been that any FR-related thread here or elsewhere generally degenerates into a diatribe against FR. YMMV.

I realise the setting is the most commercially popular but it generally attracts the haters online. Does that make sense?

Yeah FR tends to be a troll-O-matic, but trolling is often done against something the majority likes. It's probably frustration about FR taking over a lot of tables, which sucked if you didn't like it.

I like FR but I stay away from FR threads in the main.

Anyway, I only made the FR comments simply because I thought they were a couple of adventures that people may have avoided because of the FR brand but I think they're worth looking at anyway.

Red Hand of Doom is FR, too, and generally liked.

I really need to run the Shadowdale & co series soon, played it once but would love to get one of my RL groups into it (I only have the books, not the PDFs )
