In Search of the Best Module Ever

[Tormalicus]

I'm looking for opinions here.

What is the best module ever produced by TSR? 1st ed, 2nd ed, original D&D, doesn't matter. Or, is there a website anyone knows about that rates them?

In advance.....thanks.

IMO its the players/ group that make the roleplay experence memorable. Not the module.

I'd have to agree. I ran some "classics" for my group over the years that they hated - "Whattya mean you hate this adventure? ... It's Tomb of Horrors!! Everyone's supposed to love it!!"

And I ran some throwaway adventures that ended up being some of the most memorable games I've participated in...

While I agree the players make the module, I must say that the one TSR produced module that tops my favorite list is B10 - Night's Dark Terror. Cool scenarios, great bad guys, fun NPCs, an engaging storyline, and awesome maps.

Hmmmm, just one? That would be tough.

IMHO, it would have to be...

Against the Giants

I whole-heartedly agree. However, my little poll here has a purpose. I intend to convert a classic module to 3ed.

mmm, difficult I have two

1) G/D/Q Series - A classic, but more of a campaign rather than a module.

2) FR0 - Treasure hunt (1e). Characters start of without any classes, it is their actions during the adventure that determine what classes they become.

1st place - Castle Amber
2nd place - Where Chaos Reigns
3rd place - Twilight Calling
4th place - Isle of Dread

In that case some of my favorites:

• S1 Tomb of Horrors (my guys HATED it, but I loved it )
• G3 Hall of the Fire Giant King[*]D1-3 Descent into the Depths of the Earth/Shrine of the Kuo-Toa/Vault of the Drow[*]Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits[*]FRQ1 Haunted Halls of Eveningstar
• The "I" Desert of Desolation series
• S4 Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth[*]Dead Gods
• The "A" Slaver series

Either Castle Amber or the Desert of Desolation. I'd probably lean toward the Desert--there's more meat to it.
