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

Same here. I definitely have some favorites there, but haven't played nearly all of them. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Having read/DMed every single one on the list, most of them multiple times, I'm sad to see one of the best low level modules ever devised get booted 1st. The NPC mage is not the problem many make out, it's up to the DM to underplay him.

I had great fun turning him into a Father Jack type character (those who know Father Ted will understand this!)

I'm stunned that Desert of Desolation gets so much love. It's quest to free Martek Stu so you can watch a cut scene of him beating the big bad. That's just what I want... to get to go on a quest to find a GM PC to handle the real challenge!

Barrier Peaks was fun and weird and there was a tech discovery flowchart!
