Adding 1993 would both add a HUGE number of modules to an already long list (15!) and would create a slight problem by including, arguably, a new era in TSR (the Ravenloft era).

Okay, thanks. I did read your original paragraph, but it wasn't clear whether eliminating Ravenloft was the reason you stopped at 1982, or just a happy side effect.

Several people have mentioned the L series before. Never got the love, especially for L1 (which I thought was meh). Maybe it's time to look at it again.

L1 Bone Hill is my go-to example if anyone ever asks me for an example of good physical dungeon design. Lots of ways in, lots of choices where to go once inside, various loops rather than just dead ends - it's well-designed.

Many modern adventure designers could (and IMO should) take lessons from this module.

What, no Forest Oracle? The greatest module of all time? Ah, I see. You cunningly cut it off two years beforehand, knowing that nothing could stand up to the the might of that formidable module.

It came out too late to qualify.

B2. One of the most 'this was the first adventure I played in' type of modules ever, back in the day.
I1. My favorite module. Lost city, jungle, weird opponents.... what's not to love?
T1. Another 'first adventure ever', and a classic.
G1 (2,3)... they're short enough that you can lump them together... probably the finest higher level adventures ever.
D1 (2,3)... ditto. Playing through the whole GDQ set was a great experience for classic D&D...

You do realize that this pre-campaigning you're doing has all but guaranteed Forest Oracle will win the 83-86 poll hands down, right?

Right?

Pretty widespread voting here: as of now there's been 40 voters and the highest any one module has is 13 (B-2), with only two modules (D-2 and X-3) still on 0 votes.
