Iggwilv and Graz'zt on the cover,
Fiend's Embrace by Steve Greer-a jaunt into a cold marsh in Greyhawk to retrieve a "Valentine's Day Present" from Graz'zt to Iggwilv....the two heavy hitters don't figure Directly into the adventure, but this is one of my favorite background setups.
There's also a great map in the adventure of the marsh done from a kind of "Google earth" perspective.
This issue also saw Richard Pett debuting his now legendary setting The Styes. It's simply a blast to read. It's steampunk mentality, or "the new weird" as I've heard the genre described, a grungy urban adventure in the manner of China Mieville and/or H P Lovecraft.
It works great with 3.5 D&D.
The Styes is vaguely written up, along with a map; it's designed to be attached to a major city. There's plenty to suggest further adventures there IMHO.
This is an inter-AP issue of Dungeon, so no Shackled City or Age of Worms involved.
Has got to be one of my all-time favorite Dungeon adventures. It's a huge adventure in Sigil, 2e., really interesting story about an extraplanar custody battle. It's a melding of an interesting idea AND a good adventure, and the Tony DiTerlizzi art all over the place makes it a must have.
This adventure fired me up on Planescape back in the day.
I've heard a lot of people who I respect, such as Fake Healer, say this book is really broken. And I've never gotten the chance to use it, moreso from my rare chances to game than from any brokenness I believe,....
It's just a fun book, and a fun set of rules. I look forward to running with it some day; perhaps a Book of Nine Swords/Martial Arts style stressed campaign.
I think this is my single most favorite game accessory book EVAR. It has it all-The Dreamlands, the important dreamers, monsters, spells...
If you like stuff that's far from the beaten path or out there, this is the best example of that in existence.
I would totally bring this book with me on a Desert Island.
I haven't read it but I'm playing in it on a pbp and having a lot of fun. Cool twist on goblins, and a quasit that JUST WON'T DIE!!!
I hate quasits now.
Good times!!!
