[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5018202, member: 80487"] I did not pick what I "experienced first", because that was (as far as I know) not an "adventure module". Such published scenarios had little to do with my formative D&D experiences 30+ years ago. (Module B1 has some personal attachment, but now I would not offer it as the best example.) My acquaintance with 2e modules is most unpleasant. I have had little to do with 3e and 4e modules precisely because what I have experienced is in key ways almost directly [i]opposite[/i] what Dungeons & Dragons means to me. Necromancer Games has published some good stuff for 3e, but the question was not, "What module defines 3e for you?" So, in part, I am just going with what I know. How could something I have never even met "define D&D" to me?? On the other hand ... Does it not seem natural enough that the most definitive works might be those [i]from the very period of definition?[/i] If someone asked for definitive classical, jazz, rock 'n' roll, etc., music, what would you expect? Some recent works might be good, even great, but that was not the question. Many others might be typical, but that was not quite the criterion either. [/QUOTE]
