Hellebores do well in dry shade; many varieties will self-seed.
Epimedium sulphureum also spreads nicely in dryish shade.
Liriope can look nice in tough situations also.
You just need to keep experimenting.

Here's a picture of a hellebore which has reseeded around my wooded lot.
You can see it's right next to a big tree trunk. Doing fine.
And it has the bonus of blooming late winter - gives you a jump on spring!

And the 2nd picture (this is very exciting - being able to add 2 images to a single response!) is epimedium suphureum foliage growing in similar shady conditions.
