Dark Tower is an adventure module published by Judges Guild in 1980 for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Dark Tower is an adventure which describes a dungeon contested over by followers of Set and Mitra and the surrounding lands. The module describes a village and four challenging dungeon levels in detail.
Dark Tower was written by Paul Jaquays, and published by Judges Guild in 1980 as a 72-page book.
A d20 version of Dark Tower was released in 2001.
In 2007, the Dark Tower Silver Edition for Dungeons and Dragons v3.5 was released by Judges Guild, Goodman Games and Eostros Games. Credited authors for this version were Paul Jaquays, Greg Geilman and Steve Stottrup. While keeping the majority of the original Jaquays' text, this version fixed typos, updated the formatting and maps, and contained new material to incorporate into the Judges Guild Wilderlands of High Fantasy setting.
In 2016, the Dark Tower (Tabletop Edition) was released by Goodman Games. The "tabletop edition" version was a restored scan of the original 1980 version of the module.
Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, notes that this "Popular scenario" was "Judges Guild's best-selling scenario."
Dark Tower was ranked the 21st greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, on the 30th anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons game. This is most noteworthy because Dark Tower was the only adventure module to make this list that was not produced by TSR, Inc., the direct antecedent of Wizards of the Coast.
