[QUOTE="Storminator, post: 320960, member: 305"] OK! A tally of sorts. First let me point out that this tally is rather subjective. People say things like "This module is great!" and I get to decide if that means it's a "classic." Since being classic is in itself a rather subjective label it's not a big deal. I also didn't include author's comments on their own work, and the votes of people that never even read the adventure (which really only happened with SC and Freeport) Some things are clear, tho. The big winners are: Sunless Citadel Freeport series Of Sound Mind RttToEE No one had anything in the least bit negative to say about OSM, and none of the other big vote getters can say that. In addition, Orc and Pie got 3 votes, and I think we can all agree it is very memorable. :D Heartfang Spire and Standing Stone were the only one that got at least as many bad votes as good, and I'm pretty sure they aren't going in the classics pile because of it. Raiders of Galath's Roost and Dungeon of the Fire Opal were the only repeat mentions from Dungeon Mag(marked with a (D), and if you lump in all the Dungeon Mag votes together, you get 9. So here's the breakdown, sorted by positives: Adventure Positive Negative Review Sunless Citadel........................................20............4...............3 Return to the Temple of LMNO Evil...........13...........4................3 Freeport series.........................................12...........2...............4 Of Sound Mind..........................................11...........0...............5 Forge of Fury..............................................9...........1...............3 Rappan Athuk.............................................7...........2...............4 NeMoran's Vault.........................................5...........0...............4 Crucible of Freya........................................4............2..............3 Fright at Tristor..........................................4 Witchfire Trilogy.........................................4............0.............~4 Banewarrens.............................................3............0...............4 Bastion of Broken Souls.............................3............0..............4 Orc and Pie................................................3 Raiders of Galath's Roost(D)......................3 Tomb of Absythor.......................................3............0..............5 Three Days to Kill.......................................3............0..............3 White Robes, Black Hearts.........................3............4..............4 Burning Plague...........................................2 Dungeon of the Fire Opal(D)......................2 Hall of the Rainbow Mage..........................2............0...............4 Heart of Nightfang Spire............................2............2...............2 The Serpent Amphora Series.....................2 Standing Stone..........................................1............2...............3 These were mentioned once, but not again. I do see a few more Dungeon Magazine entries here, which is kind of cool.
