30 greatest adventures of all time?

[AllisterH]

While browsing Wikipeida (yes, people do browse Wikipedia just for fun) there was a not-active link to "The 30 greatest D&D adventures of all time" apparently from 2004 Dungeon for the 30th anniversary.

Anyone have the list handy as I'm curious to see what (if any) adventures I'm missing from my collection.

I have to say, some of those really surprise me. We just played through Cult of the Reptile God and while it was OK as an adventure, I didn't think it was *that* good. And what is Expedition to the Barrier Peaks doing there? Where is Tomb of the Lizard King? Pharoah's Tomb? Sunless Citadel?

OK, I'm done grumbling now...

Wow...some of those I disagree with....

For example in the top 10 list, the only ones I would rate as desrving would be Ravenloft and Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil.

Dead Gods should definitely be higher IMO as should be Gates of Firestorm Peak.

 

[Moggthegob]

have you PLAYED keep on the borderlands. That was an excellent mod that Igot thorough enjoyment out of. It was a great time. It definitely deserves to be there.

 

[Hussar]

Jeez, I've actually played or DM'd most of those.

 

[Psion]

That is a fantastic list and the panel behind it is obviously composed godlike geniuses of impeccable taste.

 

[EyeontheMountain]

Do I hear someone tooting their own horn?

 

[Oryan77]

That is a fantastic list and the panel behind it is obviously composed godlike geniuses of impeccable taste.

Was it you that put that list together?

I remember this same list being posted here a few years ago. And I remember people getting pissy about the Forge of Fury outranking Dead Gods (and basically ever other adventure on that list).

Is Forge of Fury actually good? There's no way it's better than Dead Gods
