Wow. I mean. I'm tearing up a bit.
All the classic Dragon Magazines are archived online.
https://annarchive.com/dragon.htmlFor example, when I was adding to my list of games I've played in my lifetime, I wanted to see if I could find the D&D monster football game: Monsters of the Midway. It was in Dragon #65. You can download it here:

https://annarchive.com/files/Drmg072.pdfI'm. I'm speechless. This is amazing.

I'm stunned. Monsters of the Midway just hit me with so much nostalgia that I don't know how to process this. That's amazing.

I remember purchasing this collection on CD. This link saves me the trouble of finding those CDs in the attic.

Yes, I still have that CD around here somewhere in my RPG library, as well. Not yours, DMDarcs. I mean, I have my own copy of that same CD around here somewhere.

Oh yay! Sometime in the future, there's an adventure I want to run that's set in a carnival, I read it like a billion times in Dragon Magazine. It would be great as a one shot, because it involves high level characters. If I can find it, I'll adapt it to Pathfinder. IT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN!

I was thinking of Dungeon... And the Jingling Mordo Circus. Thanks, Kyle!

YES!
Kyle, this was THE goblin adventure we ran in Japan when your 6th level team almost got your asses totally handed to you by a pack of goblins (in the days when goblins couldn't have levels).
So happy.

That one also has Train of Events, which Pat ran with a bunch of people, but since I could only be there for one session, I was dropped in. I played Nodwick, a fighter with a single feat. "Schlep" which meant if someone asked me to carry something, I could, regardless of encumbrance. I ended up carrying a very large iron stove from a steam train....

The links indicate that they used to have a full index of Paizo era Dungeons as well, but it's no longer there. Paizo published their own index of their issues in Dungeon #150. Apparently.
I'm mostly going to raid these issues for maps and ideas and names. But there may be a few classic adventures I want to try to adapt to Pathfinder wholesale if I can.

Oh, this will be quite the rabbit warren to explore. No, not just one rabbit hole, not this.
