Good Big Dungeon Crawls, feedback please, Hurry?!

[blackshirt5]

I'm on the ENWorld Store right now, trying to find some other good big dungeon crawls and epic(in scope) adventures. Basically, aside from planning to run these, I also need them for some inspiration for a HUGE dungeon I'm putting together. I've already got Rappan Athuk 1, 2, and 3, and Necropolis in my collection, and I've got Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and City of the Spider Queen in my shopping cart. Any others that people can think of to help me out? Even if they're 2nd edition, try me. I can probably convert em, or as I said, just use em purely for inspiration.

Also, just to note, the dungeon that I'm designing is a "Dungeon of Chaos"(it'll be explained if I ever get my campaign setting all typed up on the net, but basically, it's close to a sentient demi-plane. The dungeon itself can cause things to happen.) that is a huge, Gothic style castle, like in Castlevania:Symphony of the Night. In case it makes any difference. I expect the PCs to be trapped in their for quite some time, so I'm putting in some "safe rooms" where they can hide from the forces of the dungeon.

Sorry, I can't really help. I was going to suggest RttToEE and Rappan Athuk, but you already had those.

Perhaps the Tomb of Abysthor (it's lower-level, though) or Lord of the Iron Fortress?

I do like your idea, though: sentient dungeons sound cool.

You are sure to find some good inspiration from "The Banewarrens", Monte Cook's "mega" adventure...

It's a really good read too!

Well since you got some of Necromaner get some more!

Tomb of Abysthor, Halls of the Rainbow Mage and definately the The Vault of Larin Karr are some great little ones you can tie together.

Biggie's suggestion of the Banewarrens is also a good one.

I heard City of the Spider Queen is also good.

The only other one I know of is Dungion World, although I don't own in and have heard mixed reviews on it. However, it is a world like dungion so it might actually help you out.

Some 2e stuff would be...

FR Undermountain (2 or 3 box sets I belive)

Dragon Mountain

Orig Temple of Elemental Evil (has the whole temple dungeon not just part of it)

I think its 1e, but the Castle Greyhawk (book) as I remember it was like 10-15 levels with each one getting a little weirder.

Edit: thought of another one

crawl? Night below...the hackfest and slaughterfest from beyond...also GDQ1-7 works too..all 2E

I will have to third Tomb of Abysthor. It is reasonably large, imaginative although not quite that "gothic". It is from levels four to eight and higher. Much higher.

Necropolois by Gygax!
