You may not be aware of it, but there's a fifth entry in the "Challenge of Champions" series in Dungeon #108. They goofed on a couple of the scenario maps, though, which they fixed up on their web enhancement at http://paizo.com/download/dungeon/ChallengeOfChampions.pdf

"Mightier than the Sword" from Dungeon 29 - A murder mystery set in a city;

"A Wrastle with Bertrum" from Dungeon 30 - a short silly game set in a tavern.

I ran both of these years ago -- Mightier than the Sword in particular is excellent. Of the recent 3.x ones, I liked Thirds of Purloined Vellum (#88) and Headless (#89) the most, but also successfully ran Worms in the Exchequery (#94), The Rock and the Hard Place (#91).

I enjoyed reading the Shackled City Adventure Path and just need to find time to run it.

Cheers

Issue #119 as a letter called Poor whitefire in which there is an error. The author is W. Dougherty. He lists "Out of the Ashes" as appearing in DU#118, actually appeared in 117.

This guy seems to make a massive list, but it pretty much coordinates with other people's opinions in past issues. I added it to the rankings on my Dungeon index (see SIG).

I don't normally like bumping old threads, but if one needs to be risen from the dead 10 years after the fact, it is this one. Does anyone want to add to the previous suggestions?

Out of those listed by Stegger, I ran Mightier Than the Sword here at ENWorld with some heavy edits and I played in the Mud Sorcerer's Tomb and really enjoyed it.

Over at RPGGeek they made the following suggestions:
Siege of Kratys Freehold (#33)
The Forgotten Man (#75)
The Lich-Queen's Beloved (#100)
The Lady of the Mists (#42)
Eye of Myrkul (#73)
Life's Bazarr (#97)
Into the Fire (#1)
Kingdom of the Ghouls (#70)
The Harrowing (#84)
The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb (#37)

I'm a big fan of the Mud Sorcerer's Tomb. I played it in the early 1990s with my friends and we had a blast!

Of all the adventures mentionned here, I will have a look on the following:
Mad God's Key (114)
Dungeon of the Fire Opal (84)
Out of ashes (17)
