I'm looking for a list of all the 70s-era dungeons written specifically for OD&D and/or Holmes. I'm sure someone must have complied such a list already, but I can't find it  Can anyone point me right at it? Or should I start over? |

Does a copy of "The Sunken City" even exist anywhere still?

Verboshetc. You can find links for more information by going here and ignoring the TSR modules. The distinction between D&D and AD&D was pretty hazy in those days, especially for the Judges Guild material — whereas the TSR “Giants” modules, for example, while not fully AD&D compliant, ARE a definitive part of AD&D’s identity. |

Are you specifically looking for literal dungeons? Because I remember Frontier Forts of Kelnore (Judges Guild) as being geared for OD&D, although it's in storage right now and I can't check to verify.

Does a copy of "The Sunken City" even exist anywhere still? ~Scott "-enkainen" Casper A copy of this tournament adventure was auctioned on eBay between May 15th-22nd 2005 as part of the "Rob Kuntz Collection". Details here. So I'm assuming whoever won this auction must have a copy of it. |

Since you are including Sample Dungeons, there's also the 'Dungeons of the Ground Goblins' by Steve Jackson of Games Workshop, first published in a magazine in May 1976 and then re-printed several times, including promotional fliers by GW around the time they had the license to publish TSR material - giving it quasi-official status. See more here: sites.google.com/site/zenopusarchives/home/modules-and-scenarios/other-sample-dungeons/the-dungeons-of-the-ground-goblinsThere are also a ton of scenarios in the Judges Guild Journals (particularly the contest winner issues), the earlier ones being for OD&D. |

I would love to get my hands on some of these. I remember I found one that I think Zenopus mentioned one time because the internet archive has some issues of Dragon magazine uploaded.

I once tried to compile a list of modules made for the OD&D whitebox, and I came away with none. Even Palace of the Vampire Queen, while containing only cleric/fighter/magic-user npcs, has monsters from the Greyhawk supplement. But I do love that old school vibe where level titles are used instead of class + level descriptors.

For a while, Paul Jaquays owned Greyhawk but not Dungeons & Dragons — as you may be able to tell from his early modules, which heavily feature Greyhawk spells and items and monsters!

Collected, this is an interesting list. It compares favorably to any other from any system, I'd wager. OD&D, hmm,...

As was noted in another thread (either here or on DF), one should keep in mind that "white box only" is really more of an OSR byproduct than a style of play at the time. When Greyhawk and other supplements came out, folks rushed to buy and use them. (My understanding is that sales of Greyhawk were roughly equal to those of the boxed set.) When articles in Strategic Review and Dragaon came out, folks embraced them as being official. The whole notion of "let's only use the three original books" is a pretty recent creation, which would explain why few (if any) modules were designed at the time to follow that path. |

It also has underground generation, cellars, and crypts, and underground escape tunnels... subterranean storerooms, Tower dungeons. |

The whole notion of "let's only use the three original books" is a pretty recent creation, which would explain why few (if any) modules were designed at the time to follow that path. That is not entirely the case. My friend started playing IIRC in April of '74, Greyhawk was published in Feb of '75 and I was introduced to OD&D om Sept of '75, at that point in time my friend who taught us the game had Greyhawk, but we did not introduce any of it into the campaign the fall of '76. We were careful what we took from the supplements and from The Strategic Review and The Dragon. For instance the bard was published in Feb '76 and my friend had a subscription to The Strategic Review (and I saw maybe the first 5 or 6 issues of The Dragon). We did not introduce the bard into the campaign until around April of 78. We put a lot of things into the game, but most of that came from us and we were picky about what we took from TSR publications and from Arduin. More recently I started up a new campaign in July 2009, and that campaign was just the 3LBBs for close to four years before I added anything from the supplements, The Strategic Review or The Dragon; however, that was due to a long standing preference dating back to the '70s and not due to the OSR. So while it may indeed be a recent fad, it was not unknown bitd. |

It would be interesting to combine the 70s list with the new OD&D/S&W/DD modules that have come out in the past 10 years.
(*Is* there a Delving Deeper specific module out there?)

(*Is* there a Delving Deeper specific module out there?) Yes, there are several! Scroll down to the Delving Deeper part of this forum and you'll see links to get "Secrets of the Old City" and "The Ruination of Tenamen" right there on the first page. If you scroll back to the third page, you'll see a thread about the "Inaugural DD Module Design Contest". I wrote "Amaganymir's Cave" for it and you can still access that here -- www.mediafire.com/folder/3n4li8dxk275u,6grjwp8dxy0wf,pdg6x3cyv7ivs,i4a3obmt3q0xf/shared#pdg6x3cyv7ivs ~Scott "-enkainen" Casper |

(*Is* there a Delving Deeper specific module out there?) There are at least these: Four adventure scenarios written by fans for the 2013 DD adventure contest: The Miller's Wife by Gustave Tonneau, Gardens of Adompha (aka Maal-Dweb's Stronghold) by Robert Pierce, Amaganymir's Cave by Scott Casper, Horrors of the Screaming Forest by Sándor "Ynas Midgard" Gebei. All four are downloadable free from here (or from their respective authors). Several very usable (and entertaining!) dungeons maps+keys have been posted in the DD sub-forum on this board, including here and here--including my own entry  I've written a couple of adventure scenarios for DD too ( Secrets of the Old City and The Ruination of Tenamen) downloadable for free from my fileshare here. And, while not written specifically for DD, it would be remiss not to mention Cameron Dubeers' very 0e/DD friendly titles: Something Rotten in Riverton and The Gnome's Jewel Crosstime Pub & Mercantile. I'm sure there must be more fan-made stuff out there waiting to be unearthed... |

Thanks for the shout out Simon! I'd like to add I'm revising the Riverton module to include a second level and some handy tips for first time referees (nothing major, just a bit of trailblazing ...) While I'm doing that I intend to come up with a Delving Deeper specific version. The rules weren't finalized when I wrote the original module. |

These tend to get forgotton:
D&D / Original
Rahasia (Tracy & Laura Hickman) / Daystar West Media Productions: D&D / Original (1979)
Pharaoh (Tracy & Laura Hickman) / Daystar West Media Productions; D&D / Original (1979)
It's worth mentioning that there were two additional D&D adventures planned but not published; Vampyr, which was written and Eye of the Dragon, which had only some maps and outlines in development. Vampyr became Ravenloft and Eye of the Dragon was the seed that grew into Dragonlance.
