[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 1108457, member: 5868"] My favorites: 1. B2 Keep on the Borderlands 2. B4 The Lost City 3. I3-5 Desert of Desolation 4. I6 Ravenloft 5. GDQ1-7 (Giants, Drow, Lolth) 6. A1-4 Slavers 7. X2 Castle Amber 8. T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil 9. S4 Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth 10. X1 Isle of Dread Why? - Nostalgic reasons, obviously -- these remind me of my early days playing D&D/AD&D - Many of these adventures combine multiple elements that allow for free-form exploration (like a small town, various dungeons, wilderness areas to be explored) -- the party can wander about and still be within the bounds of the adventure, free to pursue their own goals if they want - While there may be a story element, the design of the adventure is open enough that the DM and players exert the greatest control over the story, what the links are, and how it plays out. This is my criticism of the Dragonlance series, since it's a story-driven railroad. - There are a mix of encounters, many of which are quite memorable -- some of the classic monster encounters ("Bree yark!") puzzles, and traps. - Lots of plot hook potential (especially the adventures with "rumor" tables) - Memorable NPCs -- generally regardless of the DM (Strahd, the Ambers, the inhabitants of Hommlet, Obmi the dwarf) - Replayablility is high -- lots of encounters, different ways to run them, different approaches to the adventure. Others that I consider classic that don't make my top ten list: X4/X5 Master of the Desert Nomads/Temple of Death L1 Secret of Bone Hill U1-3 Saltmarsh Series S1 Tomb of Horror S2 White Plume Mountain S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks UK1 Beyond the Crystal Cave C2 Ghost Tower of Inverness [/QUOTE]
