My personal favorite was Night of the Walking Dead. Having a bunch of first level characters look in horror at an army of zombies invading the town gave it a real Cthulu feel. I always played in more Dungeon adventures than modules though so I was kind of curious what everyones' favorites were. If you could remember the issue number that would be good too. My favorite was Prism Keep Dungeon #45. I played in it twice with 2 different DM's had a blast both times. A close second was (I think the name is) the Standing Stones of Sundown. I don't think I have the issue any longer. The adventure was about a circle of druids imprisoning an Vrock and the Vrock getting free. Really cool adventure. There was also a sidetrek that I ran once don't have that issue where the characters stay at an inn and the people inside are dead with their blood drained and the crearure is not a vampire but a slithering tracker. Drove my characters nuts!!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Author : RolandStJude Date : 06-03-06 10:13 PM There have been so many good ones over the years. If you like adventures with a Cthulhu feel, you should check out "And Madness Followed" in one of the recent issues (#134?). There was also an adventure called Jigsaw that had a similar feel (and something to do with Frankenstein) back in like 1996. I agree with you on the Standing Stones and the other (with the slithering tracker), I remember playing those vividly even though it was over 10 years ago. I'm really enjoying the new Erik Mona era Dungeon adventures, especially the adventure paths. But as I'm mostly reading them, rather than playing them, the older ones are far more memorable. One of my all time favorites was Rose for Talakara, although that may be more due to the fact that the seriously on-the-ropes PCs managed to magic jar the BBEG, turning a certain defeat into a bloodless coup. It wasn't the climactic battle, I was expecting, but it was one of the most memorable adventure endings ever. I also liked Mud Sorceror's Tomb and Into the Fire. I liked Visitors From Above and The Sea of Sorrow, but I was always a big Spelljammer fan, so take that with a grain of salt :p I also liked Isle of the Abbey. The PCs arrive on this island and are assaulted by skeletons rising up out of the sand, and then it gets worse from there. But I just have such vivid memories of the PCs trying to fight their way up the beach through the ever increasing mass of skeletons. I'm sure there are others, but these are the names that stuck in my head. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : Petrankov Date : 06-05-06 12:12 PM Isle of the Abbey sounds pretty cool. I loved a Rose for Talaraka only read it though never played it. There was also an adventure, the Kingdom of Ghouls that was fantastic which I am going to convert and run for 3.5 at some point. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 4] Author : Jaisin Date : 06-07-06 01:33 PM The Pipes of Doom and Sleepless were priceless. Also, Thiondar's Legacy from forever ago. I remember playing Isle of the Abbey - it was pretty hardcore for a 2nd-4th level adventure. I also remember running it as a sideline to The Lady Rose, which was probably one of the most well thought out adventures I had read in Dungeon. There was another adventure, might even have been in the same book, I think it was "When Darkness Comes", or something along those lines - a Faerunian adventure, involving a renegade Red Wizard who was creating darkenbeasts from animals and loosing them on rival merchant houses for his own gain. That was a GREAT adventure installment. Soon after the Complete Psionics Handbook came out, there was an adventure published that included psionic characters for the first time as main classes. I remember that the main villain (or his lackey) had shiruken for weapons and would use ballistic attack to increase their damage. The enemies were called 'Swordstorm Warriors'. . . The picture I can still see in my head, of an oriental-type fellow with a thin mustache and a skullcap. . . Anyway, I liked that adventure, but cannot remember which Issue or the name of the Adventure - I'd GREATLY appreciate it if you could supply that information to me. Ex Libris was brutal. HRmmmm... there are so many of them; I'll stop there. :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : ozbirthrightfan Date : 06-08-06 09:18 PM The Pipes of Doom and Sleepless were priceless.

HRmmmm... there are so many of them; I'll stop there. :) The adventure with the darkenbeasts is called "On Wings of Darkness", and along with "The Lady Rose" and "Isle of the Abbey" are some of my personal favourites as well. These adventures all come from issue #34. Another mini-adventure in that issue is "Rogue". In fact issue #34 would have to be my all time favourite issue of Dungeon Magaine, by a long way! I don't know which adventure you are talking about with the psionics, though. Sorry. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Author : Jaisin Date : 06-12-06 02:23 PM Wow, those were all from the same issue, weren't they? That was a great one! Rogue, that was the Sidetrek adventure with the Elephant, right? Both of the classic adventures with Flame the dragon were incredible. Ghazal was an awesome desert adventure. The more I think about it, the more I think they did a bang-up job picking submissions for print. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Author : Bill Lumberg Date : 06-14-06 02:08 PM The Pipes of Doom and Sleepless were priceless.
