FIRST
My first game of TROPHY DARK was genuinely the most cathartic experience I've had. Two characters each seeking the same lover, both becoming monstrous then being killed by said lover.

I'm a fan of genuine exploration, especially by way of play. I've a touch of Hardy in my wildernesses.

FOURTH
This is a tie, made of a pairing. The bouncers to the Half-Orc pub in Tethalia, later renamed the Siegarm, were a goblin with vast palms (Jonny Big-hands) and a troll with a pyramidal head (Mr Phillips)

TENTH
Honestly, Tomb of Horrors. With the right player mindset it's less a negadungeon and actually has some good puzzle exploration play. (Especially love the hall of spheres).
