The BEST of Goodman's DCC series? (3.x)

[Psion]

Incidentally, here's an earlier thread on the topic:

http://www.enworld.org/forum/genera...ames-dungeon-crawl-classics-so-ones-best.html

I have acquired (and run) more since that thread. I can heartily second Secret of Whiterock (51.5?), Crypt of the Devil Lick and Cage of Delirium, and would add:

DCC 5: Aerie of the Crow God
DCC 16?: Curse of the Emerald Cobra
DCC 29: The Adventure Begins (Hardcover anthology)
DCC 48: The Adventure Continues (Hardcover anthology)
DCC 50: Vault of the Iron Overlord

For unrecommendations, I'll put in Bloody Jack's Gold. It has a neat concept, but I thought it waxed repetitive with the combats. Maybe if you swapped some out or put some interesting encounters in.

A half-recommendation to DCC 24: Legend of the Ripper. The first half of the module (a Jack the Ripper-style murder mystery) is awesome, but it then drifts

into a needless dungeon against sea-elf foes

for no good reason.

I also enjoyed DCC 38: Escape for the Forest of Lanterns. If you loved Dungeonland/Beyond the Magic Mirror style weirdness, this module is for you! Not appropriate for every campaign though, but a lot of fun in lighthearted adventuring groups. (This one is seriously helped by some good mature role-players too).

In a little while, I'll be running DCC 25: Dread Crypt of Shrioz. No idea how it will play, but it reads a bit like the Tomb of Horrors, but with Save DCs. Its available in 3.5 and C&C format!

I also recommend Cage of Delirium. That module was a trip.

No contest, imo:

1.Secret of Smuggler's Cove (lvl 5-7)

2.The Sunless Garden (lvl 6-8)

3.Aerie of the Crow God (lvl 7-9)

These three adventures were by far the best time me or my group had in nearly 6 years of 3x adventuring. I placed the mods in the Wilderlands, btw.

I think the ideal 3.5 campaign would be:
#28 Into the Wilds
#3 The Mysterious Tower
#7 The Secret of Smugglers Cove
#10 The Sunless Garden
#5 Aerie of the Crow God
#30 Vault of the Dragon Kings

(then retire happily at 12th level or so, before the system gets too bogged down... )

#50 Vault of the Iron Overlord is my personal favorite.
