I get sad and yet feel a tinge of nostalgia, too, when I see people post that their favorite modules are only 1st edition ones. They're also my favorites, but I wish there were more great 3rd edition adventures. I know there are some really good ones, but only a few, if any, great ones. They just don't put the same level of detail, artwork, and finesse into the ones made today.
That said, I do see better and better adventures coming out lately and I do think it's important to support this art form that is so vital to GOOD gaming.
