Top 10 Greatest Adventures IN the Dungeon Magazine

[MonsterMash]

To go a bit o/t there were some really good adventures published in the Dungeoneer magazine by Judges Guild (mostly OD&D or 1e) like F'Chelraks Tomb or The Fabled Garden of Merlin some of which I'm converting to 3.5 for use in my Wilderlands Campaign.

Kingdom of the Ghouls, hands down. For me, this is one of the best D&D adventures to appear anywhere, for any edition. Baur really captured the feel of the old Drow series of modules with this one. I had read at one point that a 3e update was being contemplated -- how great would that be?

You can read an epic 3e update of this in Piratecats' storyhour.

Ghoulish fun starts in earnest here http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=779&page=6&pp=20

But you really shouldn't miss out on upheavals in the church of Aeos that acted as a prequel, so read from this page http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=779&page=3&pp=20

Cheers

I've had some great mileage out of some of the very early 3e adventures in Dungeon.

Depths of Rage: find your way into caverns and fight barbarian goblins (they're fast, they're strong!) and then while in the depths of the cavern

Spoiler

the foreshadowing of an earthquake bears fruit and you have to use map#2 to get out

. When I ran it the PC's were sent to hunt down the goblins that had ransacked a village, they had an initial assault and then retreated to a neighbouring village - which the goblins then assaulted in a massive seige where the villagers were holed up in the village temple and the PCs trying to keep them safe. The goblins were repulsed and the party tracked them down into their cave system once more and the final battle was about 1 PC away from being a TPK. Great stuff!

An eye for an eye: Lovely multi-site adventure. Through the woods, into the swamp, touches of history, came back later to investigate ruins exposed under the swamp, main villain is

a low level peasant with a grudge who lucked into a powerful charming item

.

Both nicely crafted adventures with additional plot hooks written all over them, and which were fun to run.

Cheers

gee. Thanks.

you're welcome.

i liked some of your other adventures too. but Falcon's Peak imo was your best.

Alicorn, Ransom, Elephant's Graveyard, and The Fiends of Tethyr were good too.

Ghazai, Ghost Dance, Rogue, The land of Men with Tails and The Leopard Men were usable for me and belong in Dungeon. but they just didn't stand out when compared to the other adventures. truth be told there are a lot of good adventures in Dungeon.


The Whale by Wolfgang Bauer. and A Wrastle with Bertrum by Willie Walsh should've made my list of Top Adventures too.

"Into the Fire".. the dragon one in Issue 1... the best "go kill this big dragon" adventure ever.

Based on the comments in this thread I pulled it out last night and read it. Great module. I'm now planning to run with my gaming group later this month.

Holy cow! It looks like Piratecat used a modified version of the True Ghoul template I wrote up a couple years back. It's awesome to see that put to good, er, evil use.

Yes it should. Tsk, tsk, tsk!

I think it's just pure nostalgia distorting people's views and recollections.

A laughable and silly statement. And wrong, of course.

While I can't speak for others, I know that I, for one, have converted my particular list to 3e, and am running them right now. And yes, my list still holds. Nostalgia? Complete and utter nonsense.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Dude, you made my day.

It's awfully cool for something I wrote 19 years ago to still be remembered fondly by gamers.

fondly...yes... i still have it slated for use too. but it will be another 3 or 4 years before the PCs are high enough level.
