Please recommend an adventure module featuring a huge ruin

(My first post )

I've been away from tabletop RPGs for a good while (like a decade), so I'm not at all current with what the market has to offer. I'm going to run a game soon and would like that to include a large ruined city. Something like Parlainth in Earthdawn or Parvis/Big Rubble in RQ/Glorantha. You anyone like to recommend something newer that fits the bill? I will be using something in the d20-family to run the game, so d20 compatibility would be a plus, but not totally necessary.

Oh, fantasy + ancient/medieval setting. Not modern post-apocalyptic.

For 3.x/d20, there was The Lost City of Barakus which was really good, but perhaps more of a dungeon than city. And the Lost City of Gaxxmoor, which I liked, but apparently was about the only one who did.

And for Pathfinder, there is the Temple City of Orcus, which is part of the Slumbering Tsar series, so perhaps not stand alone.

For old school D&D/Labyrinth Lord, there is Stonehell Dungeon, which isn't a ruined city but a ruined prison. Big though.

If you'd like to go super-classic, there's a really great 1e adventure called simply The Lost City which features an underground tribe of humans and an Aztec-like ruin.

3.0's premier adventure, The Sunless Citadel, features a sunken fort inhabited by tribes of goblins and kobolds. Not _quite_ a city, but could easily be fashioned into one as it has layers.

I believe 4e's Thunderspire Labyrinth features a central city with explorable ruins.

Welcome to EN World!

Try to find the 1E AD&D module I1, Dwellers of the Forbidden City, which is a large city ruin set in a jungle setting. It's a relatively blank slate that allows for a great deal of adaptability. It's available in pdf form from dndclassics.com.

If you plan to use D&D4 this is a great ruin adventure:
