Bizarre/novelty/comedy modules/adventures?

[Keeper of Secrets]

I don't come across a lot of zany stuff (but wish I did). I seem to recall years ago Dragon doing some fun stuff with 1st edition.

There was a pair of Dragon Magazine 'modules' that were rather corny... Monks in Preppie Shirts, Bad Guy in Black Armor called DV, and lots of other goofiness. I have been trying to remember the names and issue numbers for the last 2 days.

DA3 The City of the Gods

In the same vein as Temple of the Frog, the adventures features a incursion into the remains of a spaceship (The Beagle). Androids, robots, laser guns, and future tech galore.

The free 2nd level free module on the WotC site called "Somthings Cooking" by Andy Collins features a Calzone Golem, among other things...

There's a mini adventuree on the WotC web site called "The head of Vecna" as well.

I ran this - it was hilarious for the party and for the DM. Really set the tone for a campaign set around the arcane guild and the surrounding city

I still throw in random cooked monsters in the bowels of the arcane guild for old time sake. Hot Chocolate Pudding anyone?

I almost for the classic City Beyond the Gate in Dragon # 100.

Ah, yes.

There's one really odd module that's a Cthulhu by Gaslight (1890's) module converted to D&D.
Or it should be.

Because the PCs are part of the law enforcement of the local town. Local laws say they can't use detect spells or divinations or whatever on people because that's inadmissible in court. One of the local candidates for mayor is anti-magic and actually working for some evil conspiracy or something.
The PCs have to run around this wizard's mansion not using magic to find out who killed the wizard in a big murder-mystery...that would be solved in five minutes if they cast detect magic and detect evil. The only threats to their lives are a single crossbow bolt fired at them and acid eating through a telescope's supports so it might fall on them.

Argh... I can't remember the names either, but I ran them. They were goofy fun.

I've got a goofy adventure and a few goofy encounters in "Portable Hole Full of Beer", which is a free download from ENPublishing.

AHA! I remember the adventure name,

"The Twofold Talisman"
The first one (The Heart of Light) is faintly goofy with some great touches (notes scattered throughout the building from one wizard to another apologizing for losing the other's invisible pet beholder which is SURELY around the house somewhere). The second (The Ebon Stone) has the preppie monks, DV, and the "Experience Expert".

1983-1984 era. I would be willing to bet 1984 (the year that I have bound into two hardcover volumes).

Those are the ones!

Your memory-fu is greater that my own. :bows:

The RPGAs magazine, Polyhedron, had some strange ones. I have one where you play one multi class dude and other players play his intelligent magic items.

Heirodule, where is that intelligent magic items one found? That sounds like a pretty entertaining one!
