New 5E Adventures Coming From Goodman Games

Awesome news!

True. But back then, the rooms were sparse, the monster distribution made no sense, and there was barely any description. Any random dungeon generator can create a 1E dungeon these days.

Maybe your homebrew dungeons were that way but I consider my collection of 1e adventure modules to be some of the best flavor and story around.

I'm not crazy about it. Every time I see it my brain immediately wants to correct it to "Warlock."

Sure. But it's corny as hell written like this. It feels like some B-movie from the eighties.

In other words, old-school?

By the way I can wholeheartedly recommend their DCC RPG modules. Of course you'll have to convert monster stats and items, but they are great - especially those written by Harley Stroh. The 5e adventures don't seem to be that impressive so far.

Reviews for the first two adventures are on my site. I'll put links to the reviews on EN World sometime soon.

I like your review style!

Then your collection seems to be lacking most of the 'classic' D&D modules, e.g. the S-series: Tomb of Horrors, Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, etc.

Bottom line- are they worth $10?

In my opinion, yes. I like them because they are concise, evocative, and modular. If I am not feeling the direction of our campaign at the time, I can grab one of these and put it in without much complication. If I want to do a whole 'adventure path' with a series of them, I can make that happen.
