Favourite D&D adventure

[Plane Sailing]

Believe it or not, all my PC experiences have been in home-grown dungeons... not one module amongst them (except perhaps barrier peaks).

The most fun I had was when somerun ran an adventure called "The legend of Leshy" which was published in a fanzine called "The Beholder" (fanzines were what we had before the internet ). We learned to HATE leprechauns!

In terms of favourite modules that I've run (or considered running) I think my top ones would be

UK4 - when a star falls: I love the way that the "memory web" encounter at the start inserts little memories into all the PC's, I love the monks in the stargazing place, everything about it.

UK2/3 - the sentinel and the gauntlet, another two excellent modules with plenty of story to them.

I3-5 Desert of Desolation series. Lovely visions of boats skating across glassy surfaces, the opportunity for the PC's to take actions which make the situation progressively worse etc. etc.

Cheers

Like Plane Sailing, I don't buy many adventures. But of those I've bought, one stands out: Of Sound Mind. It's a great place to start new characters, with plenty of role-playing, but also enough combat to keep the fighter types interested. Great stuff all round


PirateCat quietly slips a $50 bill to Jarval...

Another vote for B10 - Night's Dark Terror.

Honourable mention to X11 - Saga of the Shadow Lord, definitely on a par with some of the better modules out there.

The Secret of Bone Hill...no idea what its call letters were or who wrote it.

It was a fantastic little "mini campaign setting". A few little adventure places, a dungeon, a well detailed town and an interesting Temple/Casino.

It had a lot of value for the neophyte DM (me) when I first picked it up.

I was pretty fond of Castle Amber as well (largely becasue my Elf Thief came out of it with a pair of wings)

Dead Gods, because of everything Psion said and because the players'd better get their brains working or they are going to die horribly.

Re: vorpalbunny
The modron march was good but I consider it an adventure anthology. And I think Dead gods is overall superior.

The original Ravenloft adventure (I6).

Another one I really loved was The Assasins Knot (L2).

Oh wow, this is tough to answer. Some of my newer stuff really reads well, but I have yet to play it. Some of my older stuff has lots of nostalgic value, but does that make it really good.

grrr... Anyhow...

S4 - Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.

A fantastic mini-campaign in 64 pages. Classic illogical dungeon together with a very well designed above ground setting. Could really use a 3rd edition "return to" update.

----------
There are so many others, but I'll keep it brief.

B10 - Night's Dark Terror. So well done. Production quality like little else seen at the time. Great story and plot.

B4 - The Lost City. Truly a conteder for the "page-for-page" meatiest adventure crown. Very inspiring.

D1 - The Tomb of Abysthor. It's a new one from Necromancer Gamers. If you don't have it, and you like that old-school DnD feel, do yourself a favour and get this adventure. Of course, I have yet to play it, but it reads so damn well.

The Gryphon's Legacy from Gaslight Press. Another new 3e adventure by Wolfgang Baur. Excellent low-level adventure. We had a LOT of fun with it.

For me, I would have to say that the Isle of Dread brings back the fondest memories. It was also the first module I had ever bought and ran on my own, Snif..sniff...the memories...

I also have to give kudos to The Sentinel/Gauntlet series.

There was one other adventure that I just can't remember what it was called. Isn't there a website that has scans of the covers of EVERY D&D product in existence? I seem to remember there was such a site. If I see the cover again, I'll remember the name for sure (probably because there will be a caption next to the image).

The Silver Key!

Sadly, I don't know who wrote it. The characters are morphed into orcs and has to infiltrate an orc city in search of some old key. On the way back you get attacked by heroes!

Yes, this is a great (and highly underrated) adventure... not my #1 favorite, but probably in my top 5...

I loaned my copy out a while back, however, and right now I can't remember the author either...

My favorite? I really can't decide -- it's between Cult of the Reptile God and Scourge of the Slave Lords, probably...
