[QUOTE="Melkor, post: 2994749, member: 10786"] Hi folks, I've been playing D&D (Basic/AD&D/2E/3E) in one form or another since about 1985, and own a lot of original AD&D material and adventures. I downloaded the White Plume Mountain revision off of Wizard's website, and it got me thinking about the old modules I had - with Jeff Dee, Erol Otus, Bill Willingham, and Jim Roslof art, and how those artists really illustrated the modules in such a way that evoked the feel of the game at the time. I think that Goodman Games did an awesome job when they decided to bring a few of those artists onboard with the DCC line - the Erol Otus covers on Demon Prince, Mysteries of the Drow, and Bloody Jack's Gold are just plain bad ass, and Jeff Dee's art on Volcano Caves completely takes me back as well. That said, I own several of the DCC modules, but have not yet had the pleasure of running them...and due to time constraints, I've been concentrating on other gaming material, and so have not read through the ones I own - yet I hope to do so soon. So for those of you who played AD&D during the days of the G and D series modules, who explored the Barrier Peaks, and who fell viction to the Slave Lords - what do you guys think of the Dungeon Crawl Classics line ? What modules from other companies do a good job of capturing the flavor of some of those early AD&D modules ? [/QUOTE]
