- The Assassin Within
- Umbra
- Old Man Katan and the Incredible, Edible, Dancing Mushroom Band
- Mere of Dead Men series

Honorable Mention:
- The Moor-Tomb Map
- The Glass House
- Racing the Snake
- A Rose for Talakara
- Khamsa's Folly
- Prism Keep
- The Iron Orb of the Duergar
- The Dark Place (closest thing to "Alien/Aliens" feel yet)

- Dark Thane Macbeth (Shakespeare-to-D&D #2)
- Challenge of Champion series

*Sheesh* Is it any wonder why I love Dungeon?

the wounded worm #8
In the defense of law #8
the black heart of ulom #10(this is the one ishmayl is talking about and it is fantastic)
the jingling mordo circus #7
the threshold of evil #10, has to do with an archmage named Azurax Silverhawk seeking immortality/godhood very very good. first great use of an npc's intellect i had ever seen. written by scott bennie who posts here sometimes.

the dark conventicle #11
ancient blood #20
tomb it may concern #22
the lady rose #34
almost all the original oriental adventures in dungeon, maybe one of the whole lot wasn't really really good.

- The Dark Place (closest thing to "Alien/Aliens" feel yet)

Don't know about that one, but there is one adventure, named something like Jacob's Well, that is basically a fantasy remake of the first Alien movie. It's really quite good.

Nevermind. My suggestion wasn't in Dungeon.

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

I really like "Tears of Twilight Hollow" - I think it's in Dungeon #90.

I don't have the pre-3e issues and I haven't even read all of the issues since 3e started. But of the dungeons I have read, "Tears of Twilight Hollow" is great--and a lot of fun.

Dungeon of the Fire Opal

Thank you very much for all these replies!!
Now, I just have to try to find all these magazines and have a look at these adventures.
Tyler: thanks for trying and I am sorry that your computer crashed.
Cheers,

Seconded. Rose for Talakara was a tremendous adventure, one of the few I remember well.

The one I have had both the most fun running, and have run most often (most recently for 7th Sea) was The Matchmakers by P.N.Elrod back in issue 7 of Dungeon.
