[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 6096553, member: 11760"] Am I the only one who finds [url=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/a-series]this[/url] sort of a weird choice to reprint? While the S series is incredibly iconic, the A series, while it was also created during the heyday of 1E, doesn't seem to have the same cachet to me. I ran the modules, back in the day, and while I enjoyed A2 for its realistic-for-the-time enemy stronghold that actually reacts to intruders and have enormous love for the Gollum-crossed-with-Nightcrawler boggle, it's not a series that screams out to me to be iconic nor particularly illustrative of 1E that I can see. The most iconic 1E series big enough for a hardcover compilation is GDQ. It's not a series that has been under-reprinted, but it's still worth reprinting, IMO. It's the first appearance of the drow, first planar series, features a variety of different adventuring locales (including an Underdark sandbox map) and is highly adaptable to other incarnations of the game. If WotC didn't want to reprint it -- maybe it's being held back as the first supermodule for 5E, or something -- printing the B series of BD&D modules seems like another sure-fire hit. For 1E, the Saltmarsh series is also iconic -- moreso than the L series, as much fun as L1 was -- and T1-4 also seems like a no-brainer. (There's also many great modules not part of a long enough series that could just be compiled. N1, EX 1 & 2, X1, X2, I6, the early Ravenloft modules, almost anything related to Planescape, the original Dark Sun modules, etc.) Is there something I'm missing? Is the A series secretly the module series that everyone but me wanted to see reprinted next? [/QUOTE]
