[QUOTE="JEB, post: 8637892, member: 10148"] As with others, can only speak to those I've read/run/played in. I ran Expedition to Castle Ravenloft (under unusual circumstances - converted to Mutants & Masterminds) and read Curse of Strahd, but not the original. Still, Castle Ravenloft remains a favorite location and it's clearly an iconic adventure. Ran this (again, as an M&M conversion, though with ports of AD&D 1E PCs) and read the 5E update. Definitely an iconic adventure, but also definitely catering to a hardcore player style and not for all players. Read this. I actually have no idea how modern audiences would regard it. The response to 5E Spelljammer could be instructive. Read this, but don't remember anything about it, which is a bad sign. Expect it'd drop off a modern list. Read this and the 5E update. Seems fun, a neat dungeon crawl, but not sure it offers as distinctive an experience as other early adventures. I would at least expect it to drop down in the rankings; but it's more likely to stay on the list than Tamoachan or Tsojcanth. Played in this. I think it worked pretty well, but I don't know that I'd consider it iconic. Great story, one of my favorites, but no idea how it would run as an actual adventure. It might work surprisingly well now, but I don't know that I would consider it iconic. Ran this in both Next and 5E, a definite favorite of ours. Also one of the best hexcrawl adventures in the game. I think it's a keeper. Read the 5E update. Has the same problem as White Plume Mountain, but more so, ultimately just another dungeon crawl. Read it. Same feeling as Tamoachan, this seems to be just another dungeon crawl once you strip away the nostalgia. Read the 5E update; people in my group played it but I missed that session. This one probably does deserve to stay, for its non-standard structure. Not sure what 4E or 5E adventures might be added to the list, honestly; many are derivative from the ones on the current version. [/QUOTE]
