Revised: 1-1-2004
This list was compiled to help DMs sort through issues more rapidly and have more time to do what we really want-play the game!
Some information was gathered from online sources, including Solomon’s Dungeon Index and then completely re-updated. Thanks to Todd Landrum for contributing. My apologies to the authors, I will be adding your names later. Comments and corrections are welcome!

Regular indices used to be produced in DUNGEON magazine. You should copy them from there and attach to this list if you wish to reference those older copies. They appeared in the following issues:
#24 (1-24)
36 (25-36)
48 (37-48)
61 (49-60)

Format Key to Listings for Issues #50+
[Name] ([world if specific]; LVL [levels/adaptable]; sometimes author(s); sometimes pages)
[Blurb/convention-style enticement]
Inserts (maps, CD’s etc.) are noted next to the issue number. C.Threat=Critical Threat; S.Trek=S.Trek; A&A = Agents & Allies; bD&D = the old D&D set (non-advanced); Titles of S.Treks, A&A, C. Threats are italicized but not bold
TO DO LIST
· Enter older issues with their levels and blurbs
· Will enter noted errata from forum PRN
· Update authors, pages, etc. PRN
· Maps of Mystery PRN
· Poly, and LGJ will not be indexed here
· Get lots of feedback
Random Thoughts for DUNGEON:
· The TOC Blurbs have gotten immensely better over the years and are now actually useful for DMs to help search out adventures and probably help shoppers too at game stores. Some newer issues still have a couple notable exceptions when the author refers to “you.” You, meaning the players..players reading Dungeon…
· The Table of Contents should list the C.Threats and Agents & Allies with their CR’s, just the same way that adventures are listed with their levels. The Adaptable levels for the adventures would also be nice to see again.
· I miss the Encounter Level (EL) summaries at the end of the scenarios. It was easier to plan for encounters and variations in PC levels.
