List OSR products for 1e AD&D

I'll second grodog on Curse of the Witch Head, Red Mausoleum, Spire of Iron and Crystal, and the magazines. I haven't read or used the other two modules he lists, so I can't speak to those. I'd add Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom as another stand-out.

There's no doubt there's plenty of Old School scenarios/ support out there and that this includes some decent material. However, there seems to be a bit of a shortage of sets of linked adventures/ campaign settings.

The G and D series, City State of the Invincible Overlord and a few others go some way towards offering such resources, but I'm struggling to come up with a list. Any further suggestions or work in progress?
 

Tenfootpole.org has a huge number of reviews, including many of the products listed above.

Hey ... I run that site! I'm trying to concentrate on new OSR modules and prefer Whimsy, Weird, Megadungeons, and long walks on the beach.


There's a lot of OSR stuff that is really just 3E with 1E stats, and I don't think that really gives a person a good feel for the 1E, Basic, or OD&D style. My picks for really good modules, style wise:

Anomalous Subsurface Environment
Shadowbrook Manor
Tomb of the Iron God
Tower of the Stargazer
Death, Frost, Doom (VERY deadly, not a good intro)
Voyage to Plague Island
Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom

Slightly less 'out there' and more traditional but still very very good would be:
The Barrow Mound of Gravemoor
Wheel of Evil
The Thing in the Valley
The Ruined Hamlet/Terror in the Gloaming
Jungle Ruins of Madaro-Shanti
The Slag Heap
Bone Mountain
Stonesky Delve

I have not reviewed these yet, however I suspect they will be very good:
Usherwood Adventurers (some free!)
G4-9 Super Giants!
Stonehell Dungeon
Spire of Iron & Crystal
