Favorite 2e modules?

[Voadam]

I was rereading Return to White Plume Mountain last night and enjoying it a lot. The only instance where I really liked gnomes. 2e is much maligned but there is some really good stuff from this era.

What are your favorite 2e modules?

My favorite one that I ran was Feast of Goblyns, the lead Ravenloft setting module. Darklords, vicious beasts, dark magics, good plot outline, good stuff. I ran two parties through it having a blast both times.

I also liked Night of the Walking Dead with its great insane prophecy speaker and mix of encounters (swamp critters, murderer, undead, investigations). Ran this in one marathon 12 hour game that took the party from my room-mate's homebrew campaign into my Ravenloft one.

My favorite ones I've read were Mondron's March and Dead Gods but I never got to run them.

The best I ran were Paladin in Hell and Dwarven Axe artifact one.

I quit buying 2E modules after being burned a few times, so my experience with 2E modules is fairly limited. That said, I liked Return to the Tomb of Horrors.

I stopped buying in 2e materials in 1991 or 1992. In the three or four years I did buy 2e materials, I can honestly say there was not one adventure that I liked. I specifically remember detesting the Time of Troubles trilogy, the Horde adventures, and the Curse of the Azure Bonds adventure.

Ya, those were all pretty bad. I think the best adventures happened after you stopped buying them.

I'm struggling to think of good ones. Nearly everything I ran was either home-brew, from Dungeon magazine, or converted from the earlier editions

Here's what I do remember

Shattered Circle. Can't really go wrong with Bruce Cordell.
Labyrinth of Madness. Don't know if anyone's played the whole thing, but great for ideas.
Gates of Firestorm Peak

Return to the Tomb of Horrors was my favorite.

The only good adventures I can remember from the period came from Dungeon Magazine:
Asflag's Unintentional Emporium
Deadly Treasure
Lady of the Mists
...and a few others. Ruins of Undermountain was pretty good for the maps; I did a lot of improvisation with it.

Another nod to Return to the Tomb of Horrors. Although I didn't really get to run it til 3e...

Asflag's Unintentional Emporium

There was really a guy named Asflag?

That's unfortunate.

I mean, like, more unfortunate than most fantasy character names.
