What are the "best" Dungeon adventures

[Chairman7w]

I'll throw my hat into the ring for Rana Mor as well. I've ran it in two different campaigns and it rocked each time. Everybody liked it. Don't remember any Lizardfolk though, but I do remember an Evil Death Cult, and nasty Chulls clunking onto the decks of the boat in the middle of the night! Mmwwwuuuhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

"Headless" was really fun too. Getting ready to run that one again, too.

I've run several modules from Dungeon over the years (indeed my current campaign/story hour is extrapolated from the plot of one of them), but I have to say the one I've the most fun running is "A Hot Day in L'Trel" by Ted James Thomas Zuvich from issue #44. More a mini campaign than a standard adventure, I've run it I think 3 times now and myself and different groups of players have enjoyed it each time.

Nod. My other favs are:

The Cauldron of Plenty -- I don't know the issue, but it was in the 1999 "Dungeons of Despair" collection. It's very much out of Irish folklore tradition, and players can't just hack and slash it without bad results -- a thinking man's adventure.

The Fiends Embrace -- issue 121. This is a great little Greyhawk adventure very much in the spirit of the classics, bringing in Iggwilv and set in Greyhawk's version of the area around Blackmoor.

All 3 of these adventures are big on old timey atmosphere, as opposed to magical wonderful half-dragon mech wizards riding dinosaurs stuff.

Quick question: do you mean "Valley of the Earth Mother" in Dragon #102?

Or maybe they just used the same folklore.

Trouble at Grog's is my all-time favorite adventure (sorry keep on the borderlands), as it was the beginning of the first campaign I ever played. Its a solid adventure and definitely has the feel.

Don't think so. It's a 2nd Edition adventure from Dungeon, pre-1999 since it's in a 1999-issued best of perfect-bound book (Dungeons of Despair).

The plot of The Cauldron of Plenty is: There's this cauldron. It creates lots of food. The lord/king's creepy advisor wants you to get it, for the political power being able to feed a lot of warriors would give him. Unfortunately, the cauldron is owned by a powerful giant. And it allegedly has a curse on it, that effects anyone who steals it.
