Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lancelot" data-source="post: 6534065" data-attributes="member: 30022">I'm always using Old Modules. In fact, 90% of all the modules my group played in 4e and 5e were derived from classic 1e/2e/BECMI/Dungeon modules... including the complete Dragonlance series, the GDQ saga, Lost City, Saltmarsh, Fire Mountain, Gauntlet/Sentinel, Tharizdun, Tsojcanth, and too many other to name.Other than those, though...Anything to do with Planescape, particularly the boxed sets (Planes of Chaos/Law/Conflict, the Campaign Setting, Blood War), Faces of Sigil, the softcover guides to the Astral/Ethereal planes, and In the Cage.  Nothing better has even been written for any edition on the D&D planes, in my opinion. And it's 95% fluff, so eminently re-usable.The 3e Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Still, in my opinion, the single best book from the 3e days. And I don't even DM in the Realms.Oriental Adventures, both the 1e and 3e versions. Good source-books for adding some oriental flavor to a modern campaign (weapons, monsters, campaign info, etc).Uhhh... The Dungeoneer's Survival Guide, from 1e? It had surprisingly robust rules for mining (PC's running their own mining business), a couple of cool maps, a campaign setting, and a bunch of other interesting stuff. It's very readable, unlike the (terrible) Wilderness Survival Guide from the same era.The Greyhawk Wars boxed set, for mass combat and political shenanigans. Again, I don't DM in Oerth... but I've re-used the counters and cards from the set with home-grown maps to handle some massive scale military campaigns....and of course, the Rules Cyclopedia. The staggering truth is that, after 30 years, BECMI is still the go-to rule-set for building castles, running dominions, taxing peasants, building armies, and determining the outcome of a large-scale war with a handful of rolls (incorporating tactical options, troop quality, etc). The 3e Stronghold Builders Handbook wasted 10 times the paper to achieve only a fraction of the result, and no other edition so far has really even attempted it.</blockquote>
