I haven't played nearly enough of these to give an opinion, but I am SUPER Interested to see where this goes.

It's every D&D fan's responsibility to research every single one of those on the list as they are a huge part of this game's rich history - even the duff modules (B3 and X3 - which was so bad our thread creator couldn't be bothered to spell its name correctly!!!). Most of the options on the list have a lot going for them though, lots of interesting stories, NPCs and encounters for modern DMs to plunder inspiration from.

Have a browse, read reviews from respected sources (MerricB!), and immerse yourself in a slice of history.

And maybe even play some of them ....

N1 is a really fun module. The rest of you are clearly wrong. N1 gets routinely chosen as a good low-level adventure and I've had fun running it both times.

Though if you went to 1986 and could include B10 that would get my vote for best.
