Craziest single dungeon I've ever run was the Rotating Labyrinth. My players knew what they were getting into, but they tried hard to map it anyway. The party ended up split to map out the edges and running from each other. Most memorable session we've ever had.

What really memorable dungeons have you played or run? What was great about them? What is your dream dungeon?


Don't have a map, but it was a custom 4E dungeon my DM ran me and some buddies through. We had gone through several rooms and were exiting when, in the room just before the exit, a number of enemies appeared. We were dealing with them easily enough when my character (Tiefling Psion), noticed a hidden elevator started to appear. Doors open, and I psychic slam the people back into the elevator and send it back up.

I do this several times before we are finally forced to retreat. Sadly, several foes block my path, so I'm forced to stay and fight. Died there, but it was awesome.

In another, earlier dungeon with another character of mine (Drow Rogue), we burst into a room full of Asmodean Acolytes and one teacher. Party teams up to off the teacher/cleric. My character used his hand crossbow to drop the acolytes to prevent them from sounding an alarm. Party asked what my alignment was because I was dropping youths when I stated I was Evil already. Later, we reach the macguffin (an ancient war banner). Everyone stayed in the tunnels, I was the only one properly trained in stealth. I sneak in, grab, and get spotted from behind. They don't see my face, so I 'Mario Jump' (drow levitation) over the walls of the temple (which was on the rim of a volcano) to freedom. Had/have a huge bounty on that characters head in that city (and numerous others for other dastardly deeds).

I absolutely loved The Sunless Citadel module for 3rd edition. I really enjoyed some of the NPCs and monsters that were set up there and the potential they had to add to the module in a memorable way. Meepo was awesome and the entire module played differently in huge ways for the 3 different groups that I ran it for. One group befriended Meepo and his kin, one group slaughtered the whole lot, another group had a death just before meeting him and the player asked if I could stat up Meepo and let him play as him and join the group.
I really enjoyed the module. I also have some good words for The Forge of Fury.

One of my favorite published ones was a low-level goblin cave. I think it was called Dymark Dread.

I'm a fan of massive dungeons that go on forever. A group leveling from 1-4 in 1 dungeon through several sessions I think could be pretty cool.


One of my favorites was a freebie made for 1st Edition called Shrine of the Oracle. It is the third part of a nice little trilogy and a classic dungeon crawl. It took a bit of work to convert it to PF but it was fun to run.


Basic D&D module B7 Rahasia. Teleports like crazy, almost impossible to map.
