I liked the "fireplace" levels 3-dungeon arc for the FR that appeared in Dungeon in the past year+ or so. Having the levels off a fireplace chimney was an interesting idea.
In terms of strange locations I've used as dungeons, the flexibility of gates and demiplanes will let you create a lot of strange places for dungeons, a la Phil Farmer's World of Tiers series---any doorway can, perhaps, shunt you into a strange, hostile adventure/dungeon environment. Others I've considered, or used, include:
- in a cursed/trapped cubic gate (a tesseract planar trap)
- miniaturizing the PCs and putting them up against "giant" versions of monster that are, in fact, normal-sized ones (perception is everything, of course...)
- in a tree (Dragon Magazine's "Forest of Doom" features one of these)
- on another planet/moon (a la Return of the Eight or Spelljammer)
- in a cloud (cloud castles/dungeons)
- in a giant machine (Doomgrinder, Q1)
I'm definitely curious to hear what others have done along these lines.
