First, Forge of Fury has no business being on this list.
Next, I'd personally put Destiny of Kings on there somewhere, but as has been mentioned in other similar threads, not many people seem to be familiar with it, and widespread recognition is certainly a factor in these kinds of polls. A great adventure with a smaller audience (or fan-base) will always be trumped by a good one with a larger audience (or fan-base)...just like the All-Star voting in baseball.
Finally, I think it's pretty hard, and pointless to put any kind of order on these things. Rather than listing them 1 thru 30, just say these are 30 of the best ever don't bother trying to order them. Doing so just seems to incite more arguments.

Disagree!
I really don´t understand your list. It seems to be built quite heavily on nostalgia. For how can "Tomb of Horrors" be better than "Return to the Tomb of Horrors"? I mean, really!? This also goes for the other "Return to..." adventures. Do you really mean that the newer versions are worse than the oldies? And how can you leave out great adventures like the epic "Dragonmountain" that so many players loved. I also miss "Axe of the Dwarvish Lords" and "Night Below". "Rod of Seven Parts" should be there as should "Die Vecna Die". How can anyone list "The Forge of Fury" as one of the best ever? Have you really played it? It is simple, boring and has no feeling what-so-ever! In Sweden a lot of players are VERY critical to this list. Somebody started a thread on a Swedish D&D forum about this list and criticism is HEAVY. You should really motivate your choices and explain the criterias for making the list. Please, leave nostalgia out of it! Fredrik Bermar, Stockholm, Sweden.

Actually, I have Destiny of Kings and we will play it next in our D&D Forgotten Realms campaign. I second your opinion regarding "Destiny of Kings". It´s a superb adventure! A great intrigue, colorful NPCs - not the least Mendal Secord the Assassin! and the twists and turns challenges PCs.

Paul Jaquay's two Judges Guild adventures - Caverns of Thracia and Dark Tower
I seperated the super-modules. Twenty-three of my 30 are represented on the Dungeon list in one form or another.

Does the article not include our individual lists? We were each asked to pick our top 10 and then write a bit about why we made our choices. I thought those were going to appear as sidebars to the article or something. Is that not the case?
And for the record, I did not vote for Forge of Fury. Or Tomb of Horrors for that matter.

Would you list your list?
I'm curious to see it.

Chris,
We didn't publish individual lists, but included selected comments from the panel when appropriate. If individual contributors want to post their own lists, that's fine by me.

PS: Obviously, everyone's lists (even in Sweden) are going to be different. That was half the fun of this article.
