What 3.0/3.5/D20 D&D Adventures are the Best? List them here!

[TerraDave]

What are the best, all time, classic adventures? Which will be the classics of tomorrow?

This thread is to nominate the best 3.0/3.5/D20 D&D adventure modules. This excludes OD&D, B/ED&D (Companion, Masters and Immortals box sets, as well as the Rules Cyclopedia); 1st ed AD&D and 2nd ed AD&D which have been covered in other threads.

The focus is on for sale, free-standing adventures. Hence this thread excludes modules from Dragon, Dungeon, and other magazines (unless reprinted as a stand alone product) or ones that where only released as part of a rules supplements or campaign setting (with one special exception).

It can and should include adventures released by 3rd party producers with the D20 logo intended to be used with the PHB and other core rules, but not D20 modern or depending heavily on a 3rd party supplement other than a campaign setting.

I havent played too many 3E adventures but here are the ones I have liked alot:

Goodman Games:

Crypt of the Devil Lich
Bloody Jacks Gold (Yarr! Bloody good!)

Troll Lord Games:

Hall of Many Panes
Assault on Blacktooth Rigde

Necromancer Games:

Necropolis (Big and deadly)
Rappan Athuk (Bigger and deadlier)

Zeitgeist Games:

Redwood Scar


So far I have not found a single WotC adventure that I personally found any good. Looks like the good adventures are done by others nowadays Either that or my tastes are too niche

 

[TerraDave]

Thanks Mr. Monkey! Assualt on Blacktooth Ridge, while in the spirit of these threads...is not D20 or WotC...but I will add the others. (the C&C or Hackmaster "best of" are beyond my expertise).

 

[Psion]

Malhavoc:
If Thoughts Could Kill
Banewarrens

Necromancer:
Hall of the Rainbow Mage

Fiery Dragon:
To Stand on Hallowed Ground (The Ghost Machine)
Of Sound Mind

I'm sure I am missing some...

 

[Nightfall]

Scarred Lands:
The Serpent Amphora (it's kind of the ONLY adventure too)

 

[Ghostwind]

Bastion Press:
* Oathbound: Waters of Akaya
* Oathbound: Horrors of Penance
* Danger in Deadwood
* Bandits
* Where Dark Elves Rule
* Bloodhollow
* Legacy of Akhirat

 

[Testament]

Paradigm Concepts:
*The Bloody Sands of Sicaris
*A Carnival of Swords
*Blood Reign of Nishanpur (now out of print)
*Nishanpur: The City of Secrets

 

[Steel_Wind]

Black Sails over Freeport
(just about any Freeport, really...)

World's Largest Dungeon for its audacity and dedication.

I'd nominate Soveriegn Press' Key of Destiny. It's sold extremely well for a 3.5 product - but I don't think its "best" worthy. Spectre of Sorrows is at the printers though. I have high hopes...

 

[Ghostwind]

Another one I forgot: Song of Storms by MonkeyGod Enterprises.

 

[diaglo]

if you mean classic in general my answer would be: NONE

if you want adventures that are classic for use in 2000ed or 3.11ed for Workgroups only. there are so many.

from WotC i'd say Forge of Fury was the best one they made.
