Well, I'll be losing my status after the last Tyrant's grasp. P2 is where I get off the train.

I'm more than likely heading the same way... can't see myself getting more rulebooks, etc.


I could have sworn there was a female minotaur towards the end of Shackled City AP.


Reading through this now...

Area B1... there are 12 jars, 1200gp each, yet they yield 16,800gp. My guess is the total yield should drop to 14400... or the value of each jar cranks up to 1400... because math.


I'm recalling some module while you're farting around, you come across a dragon petrified by a beholder, then you encounter (some) trolls munching on the weakened beholder... can't recall the name immediately.


Maybe a X-level gunslinger with Pilot +20 (Millenium Falcon)... and a Wookiee companion.


This was a thing in 1E ADnD

Treasure Hunt was a module where (I'm recalling here) you started out at -500 XP. How you behaved had a tendency to predict what you became at 0XP.

Also an old Dungeon adventure called (I think) Beyond Vulture Point.


Return to the Shattered Star

you heard it here first


The OCD in me wants them to do SD, then Legacy of Fire. But SD would be a straight PITA... so... just do Legacy of Fire.

WOTC did him up in 3.5 as a high level Druid (possibly multiclassed with something else), as I recall.

Never could figure out what they were thinking with that one.

At any rate, he needs access to a lot of Time Stop.

Nah, just give him a fast climb (chimney) and land speed. Make the sleigh an artifact that radiates an immense time stop one night of the year.

I also recall some entity making him a Horizon Walker... or maybe I imagined this.


I've statted a 20th level goblin heavy on archery called... Twang.

If you can find the old dungeon adventures set in the styes, then you have some really good urban adventures!

The first three books of Crimson Throne adventure path are also really good urban adventure.

Nearly the entirety of the first ever adventure path Paizo created for their dungeon magazine days is set in a city inside the crater of a volcano. The first 14 or 15 levels of game play in that are pretty much urban adventure and really well done! (Don't remember its name sorry).

If you want a cool setting or source book, check out Sharn: city of towers, from the Eberron setting. It's an awesome city with a ton of adventure hooks inside its pages.

That'd be the Shackled City AP, with Cauldron being the town in question. Which I thought was really well done for being the first AP.


Thanks, sir.


I can't recall when the actual ship date was, but I have yet to receive #117. I use the time I've read the #117 pdf as a base, and its been a while.


There's an old Dungeon mag adventure that deals with time. Only thing I remember about it is there being a Time Elemental in it, and a trap that turns the PC(s) into children. Can't remember the name/issue, need to dig it up.


Deck of Many Things posts always remind me of the House of Cards adventure in Dungeon mag 18... basically a thief's guild/dungeon where all the doors are locked with cards you have to draw. Good times.


If I recall it says that the book can pass through gates. Maybe instead of teleport, he used a gate...


The Sihedran (sp?) Star is probably the closest... covered in the Shattered Star AP

I recall an old Dungeon Magazine offering in 2dEd AD&D, where the party comes across an abandoned but intact hamlet.

All the structures are mimics, complete with "baby" outhouses...

I think the monsters were House Hunters... around issue 18 or 19... and fairly deadly.

It depends on if we include the APs from Dungeon mag as well. If we do, Age of Worms is an absolute meat grinder. Savage Tide is no picnic, either.


Deck of Many Things... yes I love it. Esp. when used like it was in the old Dungeon adventure 'House of Cards' (you HAVE to draw to open the door).


14) The old Dungeon adventure Ex Libris (essentially a grid of rooms where rooms randomly shifted to the side or up/down, and you had to fetch "keys" to control the movement so you could escape)

What if Hell's Vengeance is a PREQUEL to Hell's Rebels?

Assuming that you are on a Windows PC there are at least three that I know of and use and I am sure that there are more:

1) Adobe Reader
2) Foxit Reader
3) Nitro Reader

As usual, read each page carefully. Lots of download pages want to install other stuff besides the product you are interested in.

The one I normally use is Foxit and other than one Paizo PDF it works great (and that one PDF works 90% of the time). Nitro is my backup and Adobe is there just in case there is a really weird one.

-- david

Firefox also has a built in PDF reader that works quite well with the Paizo PDFs... I use this in addition to Foxit as well.

Being nitpicky here, but it looks like the PDF is infected with a "search and replace 'fi' with nothing" monster.


A maedar mate (if you can find a conversion).

Maybe with some class levels.


If someone's converted old Dungeon's Into the Fire (#1). Out of the Ashes (#17), and Old Embers Never Die (#?... index is far away)... I'd recommend them as well. You get a recurring bad guy, Flame.

So anyone want to run a game with gnolls as the PC's? So far I have only run 4e and would love a chance to actually play it to get a feel for both sides of the coin..

There was a very good (old) adventure of Dungeon that did this... pretty sure it was 2E... need to get my index.


"Treasure Hunt" is an old 1E adventure that starts players off at 0 level. I've DMed this a LONG time ago.

"Below Vulture Point" is also an old adventure from Dungeon mag that starts players off at 0 level. I'm pretty sure this was 2E. Haven't Dmed this one.

HTH


14 4E in New Balance... 15/16 most other shoes I've worn


Wizards had this posted a LONG time ago... they only did 2-3 of these. I too have it printed out, and in a box somewhere.


Found it... Below Vulture Point is in issue 39.


The only 0th level Dungeon adventure I'v ever heard of is Below Vulture Point. Unsure of the issue, my index isn't closeby. Probably in the 30s, as the other poster stated.

The other 0th level adventure I've seen is an old 1E adventure where your adventurers are shipwrecked, and have to escape the island before it gets blasted. Name escapes me, though.


I have some extra copies of Dungeon that I'd like to sell:

#19 (deck of many things removed)
#22 (cover had detached, but I still have it)
#34
#55
#118 (still in shrink wrap)

If this place isn't appropriate, could someone direct me to a public forum (not Ebay) where I can get rid of these?


Here as well. One Walmart crate full, and another one about half full. Pathfimder and printed PDFs occupy the other half.


Wright is my surname.


Once I secured a series of Dungeons several years ago (i.e. 1-X), I've been kinda OCD about my set. I got comic covers for them all, and replaced all the ones I got damaged in the mail. Not I got an NM/X collection.

I'd never take one to the bathroom. One of my spares, though, they're OK.

Anyone intersted in an old issue #19, with the Deck of Cards cut out?

I swear I washed my hands afterwards.

His first appearance was back in the early days of Dungeon; can't remember the exact issue off the top of my head, but it was before issue #12, I believe...

Issue 10, Shrine of Ilsidahur. Fairly low level (4-6 1st ed), so I don't think Ilsa makes an appearance. IIRC, it was a "defuse the bomb"/"raid the crypt" scenario.


And A Dozen Eggs... issue 30


Flame... Flame... Flame... and Flame: I think that's how many times he occurred in Dungeon, if you count twice in Old Embers Never Die.

Grrr, this is hard

I don't play well with WotC. I'm a casual gamer, and generally buy only core rulebooks and Dungeon. No splatbooks, etc.

I don't know how I'd feel if the timing of this was a little different ... a year would have been better than LESS THAN 4 MONTHS. I hope it wasn't because they wanted to end on a nice round number 150.

I'm giving Pathfinder a shot, following the talent. I consider the Dungeon mag subscription money already spent, and don't wanna risk a refund being sent to me periodical rate :)

I think an element of this has been incorporated into an adventure a while ago in Dungeon... the adventure has a tomb inhabited by a time elemental. And there's a trap that turns you to a child.

The name of this adventure escapes me, tho. It was 1E, so it was a while ago.

OK, just checked my index, and I'll wager it's Hitch In Time, issue 24.

Hi

Several years ago, I watched movie Groundhog day. It would be cool to see adventure, which would be related to idea of movie. Maybe could add three part adveture, where are three days :)

Basic idea is, you live same day again and again...

I've been subscribing since Dungeon #2. A buddy picked me up #1 in 1989 at Gen Con but I have since picked up a couple of mint copies from a local shop of #1 & #2 since my originals are well loved/used. #2 is my favourite of all time since it was the first.

You were lucky to find those old #1 and #2 - I recently scoured a few game shops for anything older than issue #40, and came up blank (I was looking for a spare copy of the issue with my adventure in it - #33.) Other than that, I've got a straight run from #1 to #50, then nothing until 3rd edition. I guess as mentioned before, it reflects my relative level of D&D play.

as I understood it, TSR massively overprinted #1, but didn't do so many for #2-#6, and those are really hard to find, where #1 isn't. But I hear the hardest one to find of all of them is the one that had the Deck of Many Things cards in it (Don't recall which issue it was)... and the same for the Dragon magazine they were in too...

That'd be #19 with House of Cards (which I'd love to see updated to 3.5, near-epic level-range). I actually have 2 of this issue: one w/o the cards (my original), and one with the cards (for my collection).

I'd love to part with my cardless copy, but most shops just ain't interested in it with the cards detached.

Thanks James for answering our question. :) Too bad. Shackled City is a blast!

While I'm near the subject. I'd love to see the "Flame" modules that have appeared in Dungeon (Starting in #1) appear again, updated for 3.5 rules. I think there's been three? I remember that the second one was "Out of the Ashes." The First one was called "Into the Fire."

Out of the Ashes: #17

Old Embers Never Die: #100


Maddening how Europe has received 144, while I have yet to get it in Virginia... less than half the distance away.

Today hopefully... I'll give it til the shelf date before asking for a replacement.


I'm just curious (and don't mean to toot horns)... who among the boards owns all the Dungeon magazines?

I'll sign myself to this... I've been a subscriber since the 20's-30's (if memory serves) and have grabbed the earlier issues through auctions and shopping luck.

Dungeon mags, as a set, are easily my most precious collectible. If my house ever caught fire, you'd see me dragging a Wal Mart crate (or two) full of Dungeons out the front door.

Mmmh...and the One Ring is nothing more than a stupid, low-magic ring of invisibility???

Cursed Ring of Invisibility... tho some of the movie effects with the Ringwraiths suggest it's maybe an invisibility/etherealness ring.
