Best 1e/2e/original D&D low-level dungeon crawl?

[Ed_Laprade]

Keep on the Borderlands
Village of Hommlet

The first I run if I want more monsters and less town, the second if I want the reverse. The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh would also be on the list if I had it, but I never did pick up a copy.

If you're willing to pay out the nose for it, you could find a copy og L3 (Deep Dwarves Delve) as well. It was only released in the TSR anniversary collection.

Unless you are a collector, I don't advise buying this module. As mentioned, it's very expensive and nothing special. IIRC, Len Lakofka's original manuscript was lots and the published version is a sort of remake that the author has disavowed.

Worse: Len spent a fair amount of time cleaning up the original ms. to be published as part of the Silver Anniversary set, but then something happened at WotC and they either lost that cleaned-up version, or forgot about it, or something, and what they published had nothing to do with Len's redux/update to the original

I'm sure the exact details are over on DF somewhere.

I meant to type lost, not lots...
