I'm going to exclude OD&D as there just wasn't really enough adventures published for it to really rate it one way or another. I'm also going to do two lists, one includes dungeon and 3pp and one excludes dungeon and 3pp.Best D&D Editions Adventure Wise1st Place 1ESo many classic adventures, by modern standards a bit dungeon crawl but there is also a decent variety and experimentation.2nd Place PathfinderFor a while their Paizo was on fire and good adventure design was kind of their thing. Outside the APs they also had several stand alone adventures.3rd place BECMINot a lot of adventures released for it relative to the other editions but there are a lot of hits in the B and X series in particular while several of the CM adventures are interesting but I suspect no one played them since a tiny % of players would hit level 15+.4th Place 2E2E adventures are notorious for being bad especially compared to say 1E. However the edition did have several great adventures but they were often either setting specific or came very late in the edition cycle (The Night Below, Return to the Tomb of Horrors, Rod of 7 Parts etc). It had a very bad gem to crap ratio but more gems relative to the editions ranked below it.5th Place5E has a great ruleset but to many of the adventures are derivative, LMoP is great and original but its only 1 adventure. Reaction is very mixed on to many of the 5E APs as well with only a relative handful in the good to great range.6th Place 3EJust not enough published adventures I would consider good/great.7th Place 4EWhen you can only find 2-3 maybe good adventures you have a problem</blockquote>
