For those of you with top 10 lists...
As some of you might know, I'll be posting new top 10 lists for Adventure Games and Dungeon Crawls this year. I'd like to know what your top 10 games are, if you have lists. Or even a top 5, or a top 3! I'd like to do a little Dungeon Dive community segment in each of the videos, and I'll be posting reminders like this up until I'm ready to do the videos. Probably won't be until May or so, as there are a few games I'd like to get played more before making the lists.
So let me have them! What are are games for a top 10/5/3 Dungeon Crawl / Adventure list?

I have found this really hard! For someone who's favourite game type is dungeon crawls, I actually don't have sooo many. I have limited time and budget, so do a lot of pre-pruning via Daniel's videos.
1. Mice and Mystics 2. Rogue Dungeon 2e 3. Aftermath 4. Tin Helm 5. Descent 2e
Hi Daniel, i never did a real list of my loved games… besides the Dungeon Crawlers i try to have one great game in each category and always try to minimize my collection so this is really a tough one for me 🤪 I hopes this help☺️ Dungeon Crawler: 1.) Shadows of Brimstone 2.) Dungeon Universalis 3.) Warhammer Quest (95 & Silver Tower) 4.) Hellboy (Kickstarter Edition with Mission Generator) Bevolved Travel Dungeon Crawler: 1.) Valpiedra 2.) Into the Dark Dungeon Silver Mine Adventure Games: 1.) HARAKIRI 2.) Nova Aetas 3.) Fallout with New Vegas and Atomic Bond All the others are not enough or not yet played… so this is my „list“ Best Chris
Top 3(-ish) dungeon crawlers (in no particular order): -Warhammer Quest – Shadows over Hammerhall -Dungeon Saga Origins (Legendary edition) -Dungeons of Infinity -Darklight Memento Mori Top 3 adventure games (also in no particular order) -Folklore the affliction -Pauper’s Ladder -Mage Knight Games-that-will-probably-end-up-in-the-top-lists-but-I-want-to-play-them-more-first: -Machina Arcana -League of Dungeoneers -Advanced Heroquest -Vantage Honourable mentions -WHQ Blackstone Fortress and Darkwater (although they are neither dungeon crawlers nor adventure games strictly speaking). -Rangers of Shadow Deep - probably out of the scope of the above lists, but one of my favourite, very clever and engaging, a crossover between RPG/ adventure/ skirmish with elements of dungeon crawling in one of the latest books.
Dungeon Crawler: 1) Pericle 2) Mansions of Madness 3) Sorcerer’s Cave Adventure Game 1) Magic Realm, now replaced by Dragons Down 2) Dark Venture 3) City of Chaos
Wow, City of Chaos in a top 3! I can respect that. Such a unique game.
Dungeon Crawler: 1) Middara 2) Lobotomy 2 3) Tales from the Red Dragon Inn Adventure: 1) Earthborne Rangers 2) Arkham Horror TCG 3) Solomon Kane Boss Battler (Didn't think these fit either category but deserve a shout-out): 1) Leviathan Wilds 2) Oathsworn 3) Vagrantsong
Red Dragon Inn is one I want to play a lot more before I make my list.
Top 10 Adventure: 1)Eldritch Horror 2)Pathfinder Adventure Card Game 3)Elder Sign W/Gates of Arkham 4)Lands of Galzyr 5)Dungeon Degenerates 6)Arkham Horror 2nd 7)Pauper's Ladder 8)Journeys in Middle Earth 9)Apocyrpha 10) Fallen Lands 2E (I debated putting This War of Mine as number three on the strength of it being the best procedurally generated narrative I have experienced of any game. There is push your luck exploration too and a quasi dungeon crawl with the sewer mode thrown in. Feels very much like an adventure game but decided to leave it off. It's definitely on my top 5 of any game) Top 10 Dungeon Crawlers: 1)Shadows of Brimstone 2)Core Space 3)Forgotten Depths 4)Arkham Horror ACG (I consider this a narrative focused dungeon crawler in card form) 5)Darklight Memento Mori 6)Etherfields 7)Descent 2.0 8)Iron Helm 9)Warhammer Quest:Blackstone Fortress 10)Mini Rogue
I love a lot of those games! Cool to see Descent on your list. That game has a ton of cool stuff.
Dungeon crawls: 1) Lobotomy 2 2) Bloodborne 3) Mansions of Madness Adventure games: 1) Arydia 2) Euthia 3) Sleeping Gods
Lobotomy 2 at number 1? That's cool. Something about those games intrigues me, but then I watch videos on them and my interest lessens. It might be the price...they're still so expensive. If I ever find a good deal with a bundle, I'd like to check it out.
Dungeon crawls 1) Dungeon Universalis 2) Warhammer Quest 1995 3) Dungeon Crusade Edit: 4) d100 dungeon Adventure 1) Dungeon Degenerates
I wish I could get into DUN again. Re-learning it feels so daunting to me these days! It's a total and complete package.
Mine would probably look something like this: Dungeon crawls: 1. Shadows Of Brimstone 2. Descent 2e 3. Gloomhaven 4. Dungeon Universalis Adventure games 1. Dungeon Degenerates 2. Eldritch Horror 3. HexploreIt series 4. Arkham Horror 2e/3e (different games but I like them equally) 5. Xia If you'd consider Arydia an adventure game it would be no.1 though!
Arydia is most definitely an adventure game!
Dungeon Crawls: 1. Warcrow Adventures 2. Heroquest 3. My own game - Shotgun Mage 4. Rogue Dungeon Adventure: 1. The Home Trail (TTRPG with minis I wrote...seriously, it's stupid fun) 2. Set a Watch
Dungeon Crawls 1. Shadows of Brimstone 2. Heroquest 2. Dungeon Alliance 4. Ker Nethalas 5. Drakborgen (swedish original of Dungeon Quest (you should check it out, the artdesign is superior in my opinion))
