I generally agree with his criticisms, though they are harsh -- I have to fight my nostalgia sometimes; it helps when I show an old adventure I liked to a younger gamer and use their perspective to anchor my own.My favorites from back in the day were actually in Dragon magazine. The following came to mind:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Barnacus: City in Peril" (Dragon #80 (Dec 1983), 1e, 18 levels (4-8 lvl 1-5), 12pp) is a great sandbox location that I reused several times. The plot isn't bad, though only one of the Dragon villains really gets a lot of detail. If I ran it today, I'd probably try to fill out the "Snake Pit" (the group of bad guys) with a few more interesting characters. I think it's a great introductory adventure.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Can Seapoint Be Saved?" (Dragon #75 (Jul 1983), 1e, 33 levels (4-8 lvl 4-7), 8pp) is a fun seagoing adventure. I used Barnacus for Seapoint, and tied the pirates of this module to the villains of that one. Great fun, and I ran it in RuneQuest 3rd edition, so it got really crazy in there. This module was rereleased as "North of Narborel" (Dungeon #49, 2e, 25 [28] levels (4-6 lvl 4-7), 14pp) but I didn't care for the choices made in expanding it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Citadel by the Sea" (Dragon #78 (Oct 1983), 1e, (4-8 lvl 1-3), 15pp) has great antagonists, and a neat low-level "artifact".</li> </ul></blockquote>
