On Wings of Darkness. Level 5-8
Strange flying beasts plague a noblewoman. The PCs must hunt them and defeat whomever is behind them.

After a run-in & ambush, the PCs search the coast to find the titular Dama Rosa. It is well detailed and bristling with ballistae. There’s Giff mercenaries aboard! You may or may not want the arquebus.

The Lady Rose. Level 8-11
A ship from a far away empire has come. Here to explore, trade and...uh oh!...enslave elves! Obviously the PCs need to stop this before it sets sail.

Intermission! This issue includes some trading cards with what looks like some original character art. TSR promises these can only go up in value.

Want to convert this for 5e? Good news, it’s in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. But made for a higher level. And new cool minotaur art.

Isle of the Abbey. Level 1-3 D&D Basic
Clear the island of hostiles. Simple but it works.
Randy Maxwell was one of Dungeon’s more frequent contributors. And this is a pretty good one with some cool encounters. Beware the Skull Dunes.

Rogue. Level 4-5
Hunt the mad elephant.
Side Treks were very short side quests that a DM could drop in.
This is less of a quest and more one encounter with an angry bull elephant. But a very fully described one.

Euphoria Horrors. Level 1-2
Find a child’s missing friend, who is of course more than they seem.
Kind of mixed on this one. Don’t love the hook or the search in the woods part. This could frustrate a new party. And with that title you’d think it would be scarier.

We’re well into AD&D's 2e run and we’ve got 3 adventures for it. Plus one of a series of super-short “Side Treks” that DMs could use as filler. Our cover adventure however is a Basic adventure.

A look at Dungeon #34. The cover from Peter Clark shows a scene from Isle of the Abbey.

Think I’m calling this done. Won’t win any competitions, but not bad as I try to regain some faded skills.

Mad Gyoji. Level 7-10. Ise-ko village exiled a (unbeknownst) hengeyokai 40 years ago. Now he is consumed with madness and revenge. He’s sent a spirit to curse the village and kill its leader. The PCs must find this Mad Gyoji, learn the truth and end the curse.

Alicorn. Level 1-2. Goblins are hunting a unicorn for its horn, to cure their chief of wasting disease. Can the PCs save it? A short 4-pager.

Dark Days in Welldale. Level 3-5. A(nother) halfling village is in trouble! The halflings thought they had a wishing well, thanks to the crystal drake living below. But now there’s no wishes and halfling are being kidnapped. Has a curse befell them?

The Siege of Kratys Freehold. Level 1-4. A clan of orcs lay siege to a fort. It’s up to the PCs to stop them! A true siege adventure with lots of freedom to achieve their goals. Reminds of the goblin siege in B10 Night’s Dark Terror.

That Island Charm. Level 7-12. Shipwrecked and stranded! Other castaways beg for help against some ogre castaways. But things aren’t adding up. Is there something more powerful and sinister behind this island? (of course there is).

We have five adventures for AD&D. Oriental Adventures makes a return, but it will be the last one for a very long time. We also have a siege scenario, while not required, could be resolved using Battlesystem.

Dungeon Magazine #33. January 1992. A terrifying oni is featured on this cover by Jon Fraze, which I believe is the only cover he did for TSR. #TTRPG #ADnD #DnD

1. Moldvay Basic
2. Moldvay Expert (books minus the box)
3. Marvel Super-Heroes (FASERIP yellow box)

If missing a box disqualifies #2 then the next in line would be the Greyhawk gold box.

Fantastic!

I like those trees. Are they printed?

Scratch 3 more issues of Dungeon off the checklist!
#71, #82 and #93. I’m getting close to the full run.
#TTRPG #ADnD #DnD

Ghost Dance. Level 4-7. Greyhawk’s Rovers of the Barrens don’t get much detail, but this one tries to flesh them out with Native American flavour. The Horned Society has turned a tribe to evil. Help the Rovers defeat them and expose the plot.

Is There an Elf in the House? Level 3-5. A murder mystery in a haunted mansion!
The PCs arrive at a manor where kidnapping and murder is afoot. Not only is there the murder to solve, but a dark ritual to uncover and disrupt.

Pearlman’s Curiosity. Level 1-4. A Nilbog is a mutation of a Goblin that affects the behaviour of everyone nearby. Chaos abounds! All because wizard wanted to study this bizarre condition but lost this specimen. Find it! A low combat, high RP adventure.

Changeling. Side Trek level 8-10. The PCs get wind of a White Dragon lair. It’s 300 miles away. Now that part is easy to write out, but how is this a "side trek"? The White Dragon isn't what you think, but much worse. And the horde is terrible. Not my favourite.

Hermes’ Bridge. Level 7-10. A huge ancient bridge spans high above a treacherous river. Just need to cross it. Of course, it’s guarded and there’s a small dungeon along the way. An easy one to drop in for a side quest during a long journey.

The Wayward Wood. Level 6-9 (nice). Druids beseech the party for aide. Their forest just got up and started walking, straight toward the village! They’ll arrive in 3 days so that’s how long they have to find the cause and set things right.

Five adventures and a side trek can be found in this issue.
We have a special celebrity writer! One of these adventures comes from Professor Dungeon Master! I’ll let you figure out which one.

Dungeon Magazine #32. November 1991. A shaman communes with the spirits in this cover by Scott Burdick, for the adventure Ghost Dance.
