[QUOTE="Stormrunner, post: 1122023, member: 13471"] Never got to play Keep on the Borderlands - my starter set came with Into the Unknown, which seemed cool at the time but looking back on it was kinda crappy. Favorites: G1,G2,G3 - lots of fun. Clean out the kitchen, poison the mead, disguise yourselves as orcs, carry the poisoned mead into the feasthall... Q1 - loved the Escheresque interlacing pathways and the alternate worlds. Oddly, i wasn't all that fond of the D series. S3 - weird tech, weird critters, and it ws the first module we went through that had an illustration book. I6 - Ravenloft. 'Nuff said. UK1 - Beyond the Crystal Cave. Only pacifist module I know of ... hack'n'slash would get you in BIG trouble, had to use wits and diplomacy which at the time was a rare thing in modules. Plus it had art by Tim Truman (of Grimjack fame). OA2 - Night of the Seven Swords. Explore a ghostly castle, fight seven cool weapon masters ... then sneak through enemy territory without being caught by the army ... then stop the assassination without doing anything rude or dishonorable. The best of the OA modules IMHO. EX1 - just to see the players faces when they realize they're in Wonderland. Though if I had to run it now I'd make some major revisions. Desert of Desolation series - more for the nifty settings and ideas (loved the Skysea!) than for the dungeoncrawls. [/QUOTE]
