[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 7126121, member: 23484"] I remember being 13 or 14 years old, and being led through Barrier Peaks. I was a rogue, and I had the colour cards. We were playing D&D, and this was before the internet, before fan boards and online reviews; it was even before "crossing the streams" was a phrase. This was D&D when the DM still described rooms and someone tried to draw them on graph paper. It was mind blowing, when we worked out that this was a sf adventure, and our fantasy characters were experiencing it. It was awesome. I get that the legacy of ray guns with a fighter would impact subsequent adventures; we were kids, and it didn't matter (and, to be fair to the designers, since Barrier Peaks was designed as a tournament module, it didn't matter to them either). Best module of all time? No. But it certainly gave me the funnest D&D realignment twist I ever experienced in my first ten years of RPGs. [/QUOTE]
