Good "dark" adventures

[NewJeffCT]

In terms of "dark", I don't mean evil, I mean more along the lines of grim & gritty, where the PCs are underdogs against a seemingly unbeatable foe. Something that would fit into a place like the old "Midnight" setting from Fantasy Flights Games, or in a horror type setting. (thanks for Scivener below for the correction)

Thanks

Actually, Midnight was from Fantasy Flight Games.

I suppose any Warhammer adventure would fit the bill.

Thanks - forgot about Warhammer

Are you looking for printed adventures or adventure ideas? I don't have any printed adventures. But for inspiration: the Black Company books by Glen Cook.

If you play Magic, setting a game in the Innistrad setting before Avacyn gets free and instantly fixes everything (terrible deus ex machina) would work. Vampires and werewolves hunt people, things go bump in the night, humanity is being assaulted on all sides- and even the good people are being corrupted.

Heck, you can even use The Song of Ice and Fire for inspiration. If the character has any redeemable traits- they will be kicked in the nuts by fate. Then barfed on, tortured, and killed. Everyone gets betrayed, and the bad guys and less good guys hold all the cards.

Right now, mainly printed modules/ adventures. Anybody played.Slavelords of Cydonia? (Forgive my spelling)

Now that we're past the holidays, maybe I can get a few more responses?

The Return the the Temple of Elemental Evil and The Banewarrens are the first two that spring to mind for me.
