[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 5798322, member: 85555"] I agree strongly with the first paragraph. WOTC has generallybdone a bad job of making modules (for me their redo of Castle Ravenloft stands out as an example of how not to design a module----and it was based on great material). Disagree very strongly with the second paragraph. 1e and 2e modules were largely excellent. They both suffered from fads that were in at the time (2e began to lean heavily on story-heavy railroading...but this was easy to work around), however I still have them on my shelves and still go to them for inspiration. In fact I ran a 2E Ravenloft campaign last year and ran some of the classic Ravenloft modules. Stuff like Feast pf Goblyns, Castles Forlorn and even The Created (for all its flaws) are wonderful. They usually did a good job of providing enough setting material (particularly adventures like FoG and CF) so even if you never ran the thing it was still worth the purchase. [/QUOTE]
