What Modules Have you DM'd?

I generally use modules when I DM. I generally modify things heavily and give my PCs freedom to bail on stuff and have campaigns keep going but I usually have a module I use for adventure material. I also know plenty of people who never use modules. Styles and preferences vary.

There are many TSR and WotC modules that are considered classics as well as obscure ones from them. There are Dungeon adventures, Paizo modules and Adventure Paths, and tons of third party adventures.

Which ones have you run?

Back in the day, I used to hate modules, though that was more me not being experienced enough to do them justice. I’ve since been working to rectify that.

1e:
Temple of Elemental Evil/Village of Hommlet
Queen of the Spiders
Ravenloft

2e:
Ruins of Undermountain
Shadowdale
Tantras
Waterdeep
Nightwatch in the Living City
Night of the Walking Dead

3e:
Crucible of Freya

C&C:
Rising Knight

5e:
Out of the Abyss
Risen from the Sands (okay, technically a Pathfinder module, but I ran it converted to 5e)

I usually homebrew, and when I use modules they are heavily adapted to suit the plot. But, I have run the following, both as a novice DM and incorporated into my more recent games. In many cases, these have been modified or expanded to be almost unrecognizable from the text.

B2: Keep on the Borderlands
X1: Isle of Dread
Of Sound Mind
Mad God's Key
I6: Ravenloft
I3: Pharoah
C1: Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan

I may be including elements of S2: White Plume Mountain, Mud Sorcerer's Tomb and possibly even Temple of Elemental Evil in near future play. I have long term planes for including something along the lines of G3: Hall of the Fire Giant King in play. However, again, the final product will probably be scarcely recognizable.

Or in other words, for the last 20 years or so, mostly I just steal ideas.

Nothing wrong at all with stealing ideas, some of those in the 1E AD&D modules were great. The traps in C1 and S1 will have inspired a whole generation of DMs and I would encourage those who are newer to the hobby to have a read of those 2 classics and plunder away.... though maybe tone the ones from S1 down a little if they want their players to have a chance of getting out alive (/evilgrin)

It's easy to pick up elements from some of the better modules and drop them into a campaign with only a few tweaks....

The Forbidden City from I1 can be dropped inside any dormant volcano in your world.
Are your party in a fishing port? Then why not plunder U1 and introduce a smuggling ring?
Crossing a desert? B4 The Lost City can be put in any desert environment!
X1 The Isle of Dread can be a mysterious island in any ocean!
And X2 Castle Amber can be put almost anywhere, as the castle is on another plane.


My 5E group are playing a Forgotten Realms based game and have just reached a major city. I've spent a few hours annotating L2 The Assassin's Knot, changed the deities to fit, reworked the map to be a docks district of the city, converted key NPCs to 5E rules, and we will be playing that tomorrow. That should make for a great change of pace.
