I DMed some of the basic stuff first. I think quest for the silver sword or raven's ruin.

Oh, man. Sorry about B9 being your first. It's a pretty terrible module.

It's a classic Clyde Caldwell cover with hot babe on the cover, though.

That's odd, I've always thought it was one of the better offerings in the B series.

Let me issue a guess; you think B2 is a better module?

First run ran was B1: In Search of the Unknown. In came in the Blue Box 1st Edition I got for Christmas. The first one I bought was B3: Palace of the Silver Princess, because a friend of mine purchased B2: Keep on the Borderland, which I got to be a player. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to run B3. The next one I would run would be U1: Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, which I purchased a short while later. It was the first adventure that I think I finally got a handle on how to be a DM.

I've never run a module. Not making up your own stuff to run was looked down upon in my teenage gaming circle, so I've never really used them. I've read through a few, but they've never really grabbed me.

First purchased was the original City State of the Invincible Overlord. While not a "module" in the modern sense, it had a ton of areas for characters to get into trouble, and I loved the maps of the caverns. I remember the first party to travel the streets nearly died a couple times. The players decided is was much safer in a dungeon.

My story is similar to others. First module I played was B2 The Keep on the Borderlands. That very same was the first module I owned and ran, as the friend who introduced me to D&D gave me his Moldvay Red Box (he was moving on to AD&D). Technically the first module I bought was X1 The Isle of Dread, when I bought the Mentzer Expert Set. The first module I bought by itself was DL1 Dragons of Despair. Only played 1 session of it, though. We were almost entirely homebrew back in the day.

I feel like such a latecomer.

First module I played was one of the Dark Sun flipbook adventures from the early '90s; I remember my character and some of the other characters but not the plot or what actually happened.

First module I ever bought was DL World of Krynn (it took a while before I knew anything about different editions of the game). Even as a newbie I recognized that having the freaking Tarrasque hanging out in Lord Soth's closet was pretty silly.

But I think the first module I actually ran was the old Thunder Rift "Quest for the Silver Sword.' I just didn't run it until 2015, as a means of introducing some friends to D&D 5e.
