Hmm...which begs the question - if 'Stolen Land' isn't on its way to being a classic, then what is? Is the hobby too fractured to ever have the 'shared experience' that existed with the 'Ravenlofts' and 'Dragons of Despair' of days of yore? Maybe something else is at work here - maybe the...

Funny, I just finished GMing 'Whispering Cairn' with PF rules with a couple that hadn't gamed for a few years. Second time GMing it; I get more out of it each time - the crashing elevator and the 'geyser' of acid beetles remains forever etched in many players' memories... Unfortunately...

Necromancer Games' modules from the early '00s...I have a few of them. They're good, but would it be a fair criticism to suggest they were perhaps a little too in the thrall of Tomb of Horrors (more than could be considered healthy)? I have to check out MonkeyGod and Open Design...I wonder if...

Funny you should mention Of Sound Mind. I was just thinking of what an excellent little module that was. Not a classic, in that it never had the ubiquity, but a fine outing all the same. Perhaps if Return to Temple of Elemental Evil is the The Joshua Tree of modules (epic beginning, middling...

I should have noted Rappan Athuk. Never played, but it echoes through the early days of 3rd Edition... Castle Whiterock - check - thanks for the recommend. I'd always wondered of all those (hundreds?) of Goodman Games mods, which ones were good and/or great. There are so many...I was...

This is excellent - I love hearing about hidden gems that weren't necessarily a part of the larger 'conversation'. Auld Grump - any particular mods you can recommend from Monkeygod?

S'pose I should include Ptolus and World's Largest Dungeon. Not my cup of tea, and I never played them; I never bought into the implicit "bigger is better" credo around either of these things. However, they seemed to resonate through the community... Also, Forge of Fury. Have it; never...

[QUOTE=Bluenose;5705171]Not sure how far back you're interested in going, but the Witchfire Trilogy would hit my list of classic modules very easily. D&D3.5 Great Pendragon Campaign (Pendragon 5e) - perhaps not an adventure as such, but thoroughly awesome. Dara Happa Stirs (Mongoose RQ) ran...

And of course, I forgot the Freeport mods, especially the first three. First 3e mod I ever played, and I don't think I'm the only one in that boat... - Keep on the Shadowfell. It's the only 4th Edition mod I ever played. It's the only 4th edition mod many of us have ever played. For better...

"There aren't any. To be a classic, a module needs an enduring level of popularity, but the market for modules is now so diverse that almost no modules can achieve the required level of exposure, never mind retain it." Hmmmm...this may be true. A splintered player base may mean that, by...

Hello out there, I play Pathfinder, so I'm vaguely aware of what might (and I stress might) be considered the new classic adventures for Pathfinder. 'Stolen Land', perhaps? 'Burnt Offerings' (which, of course, was actually a 3.5 mod...)? But I want to know what the new classics are out there...

Wow. Very eloquent. It takes a truly great writer to distill a complex thought into such clean English. These are my thoughts exactly, but I was too clumsy to articulate them like this...

I bought the two pre-4e teaser books, and loved a lot of the design features, including: Defence Ratings "Point-of-light" campaign conceit Higher hp at low level The idea of powers for martial characters (if not the actual implementation) How races fit together, with each having a role...

I DM'd Hungry Are the Dead, and my players used the 6th level 3.5 pre-gens at the back of the module, and they found the encounters extremely difficult - I had to tone down several encounters, and even then, there were two PC deaths. In my humble opinion, the module as written (which is a...

But to answer the actual post question: I recently purchased Fantasy Craft and Trailblazer. Both are written by eloquent and thoughtful developers, but I've barely got a handle on PF... So Trailblazer and Fantasy Craft are probably the best products I've bought but will never play....

I'm willing to bet that there are games out there that have been developed, printed and purchased, but have never actually been played except by the people that wrote them. Games I played once or twice, and would have liked to have played/GM'd more: Marvel Super Heroes (elegant colour-based...

There were also all the Falcon's Hollow modules, which loosely linked several modules (two of which, if I remember correctly, were released free on Free RPG Day 07 and 08, the names of which I've forgotten) in a vague but non-obligatory fashion. Crown of the Kobold King and in Hungry are the...

Continue to love the podcasts, Steel Wind. Will future episodes de-constructs the AP, either in terms of discussing a specific AP, or generally discussing APs conceptually? How about a Top 5 Paizo adventures (including Dungeon, 3.5, and Pathfinder mods)? A great listen...

Unlikely to play, as I don't like 4e, but I could see myself buying the Red Box as a collector...

Last post should read, "rabid", not "rapid".... Must learn to edit more thoroughly....
