Message: <blockquote data-quote="Will Doyle" data-source="post: 6207022" data-attributes="member: 6682161">White Plume Mountain definitely ranks near the top of my list. It's pure gonzo D&D: swinging across boiling mud pools on chain-linked platforms, fighting through giant inverted ziggurats with crazed monsters on every level, kayaking down floating underground rivers, and so on. It's not got much of a story, but I'd still hold it up as an example of how uniquely fun D&D can be. Expedition to the Barrier Peaks is similarly silly, but I prefer White Plume Mountain. As a player, the D Series may well be my favourite published series (Descent Into the Depths of the Earth, Shrine of the Kuo-Toa, and especially Vault of the Drow). It's the classic Underdark campaign, and we played it with a fairly aberrant group of PCs that appropriately descended into backstabbing once they got embroiled with the Drow. I think we all died down there. I played very few official adventures for 3rd edition, and none of them really grabbed me. Lots of great Dungeon magazine adventures from that period though (I yanked loads of encounters from Shackled City for my own campaign). I've probably played more published adventures for 4th edition: with Thunderspire Labyrinth being my favourite (although: while setting is great, I ended up rewriting most of the plot, including the main villain).</blockquote>
