Old School 3.5 Products

[Melkor]

To go along with my 'Old School Experiences' thread, I thought I would start a second post to list 3.5 specific products that you folks have used in your games that helped make them 'feel' like the games you used to play with the older editions. Again, I'm talking about specific 3.5 products, if it is 3.0, please list it as such (I'm not sure when the Goodman Game's modules switched over to 3.5, and would like to know).

Thanks.

I'll start with the obvious:

The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps - Necromancer Games

 

[Akrasia]

The recent Necromancer/Judges' Guild stuff -- Players' Guide to the Wilderlands, City State of the Invincible Overlord.

Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics.

 

[Melkor]

Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics.

Do you know which ones are 3.5 ?

I know for certain that DCC 1 was reprinted and updated to 3.5.

Caverns of Thracia by Judges Guild and Necromancer Games. The entire Wilderlands line, BTW - especially the upcoming boxed set. Other Necro modules are also good, but have been drifting somewhat from old school feel.

Goodman's Dungeon Crawl Classics are only halfway there, IMHO - the premises are usually good, but they use too many templated, advanced or whatever monsters.

Running Necromancers' Lost City of Barakus, it has old-school feel to a large extent; although there are a few Templated critters (*boo*). It has a welcome absence of Prestige Classed NPCs and the demographics are far more old school than 3e's 'multiple 20th level NPCs in every big city' default demographics. If anything there are less high-level NPCs than old school, but since power increases far more by level in 3e the feel is similar - eg compared to a 1st level character, I'd say a 9th level 1e character is roughly equivalent to 6th level in 3e. 9th level 3e is more like 15th in 1e.

Barakus' 1/2 XP enables a much more old school feel - something I didn't expect - but it takes the pressure off the XP geyser and allows the GM to use proper random encounters again without the dread that the PCs will level again in 2 sessions because of those 4 orcs...

Castle Garyhawk due out sometime...

I'm hoping Zeitgeist's Castle Blackmoor will carry some old school feel...when it comes out.

edit: Also in a Blackmoor vein, I thought The Redwood Scar had a very "warm fuzzy" feeling like when I look through my BD&D mods, kinda seems like it would've fit in Mystara.

I believe that all DCCs #4 and up (they are currently through DCC #19) are 3.5.
