Names of adventures?

[RangerWickett]

What are some good names of published adventures? I'm particularly interested in series, to see if they get repetitive, or just use 'The' a lot.

Seriously, nothing?

Of Sound Mind
If Thoughts Could Kill
Expedition to Castle Ravenloft
Return to the Tomb of Horrors
Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
The Hill of Skulls*
Demon God's Fane
Red Hand of Doom



*Okay, it's not published, it's one of my homebrew adventures. Still.

I'm partial to the old-school adventure titles that have action-oriented nouns in them. To wit:

Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords
Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
Descent into the Depths of the Earth

I like these because they give the DM (and the players, if they know the adventure's title) a clue about what to do: Assault something. Go on an expedition. Descend somewhere.

It seems that the modern style is to use descriptive titles that put the focus on a place, rather than an action.

The Sunless Citadel
The Shackled City
The Whispering Cairn

I was trying to think of some adventure titles that use verbs, but I couldn't come up with anything.

Keep on the Borderlands
Village of Hommlet
Temple of Elemental Evil
Steading of the Hill Giant Chief
Hall of the Fire Giant King
Castle Amber
Tomb of Horrors
White Plume Mountain

I don't think it's a modern style, but a D&D (and actually roleplaying) style.

For example, Runequest has the following classic adventures:

Griffin Mountain
Apple Lane
Snakepipe Hollow

Good point. For whatever reason I couldn't recall any of those classic module names. Maybe place-name titles are harder to remember than action-oriented noun titles? (Or maybe I'm just forgetful.)

RangerWickett, why did you want to know this, anyway?
