Nice!
Thank you sir!
Now I can obessively check how many adventures of mine have seen print in the last 12 months, and how many of Prett's have.
Wow Rich, three adventures? Is that all...hey, it's okay, I'm sure the Queen's English takes a lot longer to write what with all those extra u's clogging things up for ya.
Huuuuuuuuuuzzah!

Having to type "we, and I refer to the Royal We here" everytime you mean "I" must make it rough for ya too...especially considering there is an "I" in that sentence too!!!
we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we...
That must some special kind of limey hell, eh Prett. So sorry my man.
Well, you could have just become a colonist all those years ago, but then you'd have to stop eating spotted dick and using words like tureen. ;-)

I wish one of the goofballs who comprise the Logue/Pett Messageboard Ettin would change their avatar so we all could readily tell which comments actually bear some degree of credibility and weight(Logue's of course) without having to scan the "Name" above them.

For you FH, anything. :-)

I hate to belittle the work done here, but that doesn't actually seem that helpful. As a word document, it's not easily sorted or cross-referenced and the blurbs are only hints without any details to content.
I'd much rather a database where I can say "My 13th level party is entering a desert region" and find the adventures that are adaptable to that level in that environment. Or say "We just battled lizardmen, what other adventures feature lizardmen that I could link this to in the future?"
I, of course, am far too lazy and lack the resources to do that, but that's what I wish I could have.

Ah....much better. Mind if I call you "Handlebars" from here on out?

That's been my point all along since beginning this sucker. DUNGEON publishers have reduced, but still continue to allow, blurbs that are not useful to DM's by ending them in a 1970's convention-style program question. Any blurb printed in DUNGEON that ends in a question is pretty much a useless waste of effort that could have gone into one more edit of the scenario instead. Who in the heck is that supposed to appeal to? Are players reading DUNGEON?
"Hey DM, it say's here 'Can your party survive the dungeon of Borax-Boring-Clor?' I say we CAN! Let's go get them!" Whatever. (I'm probably the only DM however who posts the blurbs on an email to our group's yahoogroup, so I'm kind of a hypocrite :)
I totally agree with you that the blurbs can't be used for much unless they give us details about the adventure. Heck as far as I'm concerned, there shouldn't be a blurb unless it's essentially the "adventure summary." Anything in DUngeon should be for the DM.
In the past year, I've been running Age of Worms in the DESERT even though it's set in swamp. It's not been hard to convert at all. That's when it struck me that the terrain doesn't really matter for about 75% of the adventures out there. Some I suppose, such as mountains or ocean adventures would probably need specifics, but the others really aren't hard to convert..I take that back to some extent though. I have precious little time anymore and the LESS I have come up with original material to convert, the better. That's why the "scaling the adventure" sidebars have been such a brilliant addition.
I just write it as they come..and to quote the world's most useless blurb writers, "This Dungeon index is huge. Can you use it?" :) There are websites out there that track that kind of stuff you're asking about. Good luck with multiple-terrain adventures (i.e. all of them :)

There's mine: http://www.paladinpgm.com/wyrm/
It let's you search by level, terrain, type of adventure, has keywords were you can search for monsters. And it's editable by everyone, so you can put in the keywords you want.
