What will eventually be the classic adventures!

The WoTC ones I've heard are classics are the ones I don't have! ie:

Red Hand of Doom
Reavers of Harkenwold


& possibly The Sunless Citadel, 3.0's Keep on the Borderlands.
I've not seen any consensus that any other WotC adventures could be considered classics. I had to give away Revenge of the Giants, I disliked it so much.

I think the entire Pathfinder AP line is going to remebered as a classic product line, in a sort of scaled up way that the Giants/Drow series is.
 

From 3e/3.5e, without a doubt for me the classics will be:
Sunless Citadel - fun adventure that most of the D&D community experienced
Shackled City Adventure Path - pure awesome
 

Perhaps i'm out of the loop but I can't believe Red Hand of Doom had nearly the amount of sales to make it a 'classic' as much as some fo the adventures the came out in the very early 3e era when there was loads of enthusiasm for new D&D adventures at least in the sense that it was widely experienced.

As others have said, Red Hand of Doom. I can't say enough how good it is.


As someone who recently learned Pathfinder, I've also come to the conclusion that the sample adventure in The Beginner's Box could (with a few tweaks) very easily lead into Red Hand of Doom.

As someone who is a fan of Dragon Age, I also suggest RHoD as an adventure which (again, with a few tweaks) would make an excellent Dragon Age adventure path. Refluff some of the creatures as Darkspawn, and you have a story which fits right into the story set in place by Dragon Age: Origins.

RHoD is good in it's own right, but the fact that I can so easily plug it into other games I play and still have it make sense (with very minimal work) makes the value even greater. If Paizo could get the rights to it, I'd love to see a Pathfinderized (updating monster stats and such) RHoD.
 


Castle Zagyg: The Upper Works
Maure Castle - a few in Dungeon Magazine
Rappan Athuk
The Whispering Cairn
Forge of Fury
Legacy of the Savage Kings
The Tomb of Abysthor
Expedition to Castle Greyhawk - parts of it
Aerie Of The Crow God
Of Sound Mind
The Sunless Citadel

I haven't spent a lot of time lately with the recent ones, but I can remember those.

Goodness me, I never expected to see Lord of the Iron Fortress on such a list - I thought it was awful!
 

With the possible exceptions of "The Sunless Citadel" and "Red Hand of Doom", WotC has never produced a classic module.

I expect that most or all of the classic modules from this era will be third party, and most will be from Pazio.
