D&D 1E Any 1e (or 2e) iconic dungeons that never made it to the top 30 list in dungeon magazine?

Well I'm not going to collect Dungeon mags, as cool as that might be, thats too many and took much space

That's what I collect - well, the 1E and 2E issues anyway. . . quality was way down by 3E

It is quite the thing! The rooms are all these funhouse dungeon spooky-ooky encounters. You might run into a giant crab or a spirit that screams at you saying you killed her son before disappearing.

what a map, love the detail.

you could always go the gonzo route of H1-H4. It is the Bloodstone series. The historic climax of all things Forgotten Realms where you go to the outer planes and the Abyss to fight it's minions and Lords in H4, the Throne of Bloodstone. Good way to die. Gonzo out the wazoo. You are trying to defeat Orcus (or steal his stuff) if you can. It's for levels 18-100.

I got that the last of the H1 box sets that is not $800 lol. That set looks super fun, anything with demons and devils is a hit with me.

That looks like a gem, thanks!

Yeah, Caverns of Thracia is an absolute blast. IMHO, it's vastly superior to Dark Tower, too, so I'm not entirely sure why that one made it and Caverns didn't, but in fairness I've only skimmed Tower and it didn't speak to me right away, so maybe I missed something crazy awesome about it.

I didn't see L1: The Secret of Bone Hill on the list, and it's a personal favorite of mine- a real mini-sandbox.

UK2 and 3 (The Sentinel and Gauntlet) should be on that list. They often get left off, and they are top 10 modules.

The art for UK2 and 3 are terrible but the modules are outstanding. Most of the output by the TSR UK team is great. I bought copies off eBay in 2015 of UK2 & 3, U1, and B10 and ran them all in the same campaign I ran X4 & 5 mentioned above.

UK2 & 3, like the other adventures from TSR UK that I ran (U1 and B10) have a coherence and believability that make them easy to run and easy to place in your world.

The danger in UK2 and 3 build nicely and the attack by the Fire Giant and his hordes is quite epic. The players were battered and bruised and they still weren't done. Made defeating the BBEG in one round (one attack, really) immensely satisfying. Getting a nat 20 by the PC who has The Sentinel glove will do that.

Definitely recommend the two modules.

I've been wracking my brain to figure out what's been missing.

I got a lot of use out of Under Illefarn. It is some sandbox and levels to like 4-5th level.
