TSR What's Your Favorite Basic Modules?

[Voadam]

I owned B1 and B2. I used B1 as the lead off to my longtime 1e campaign which then headed to hommlette. First module I ever ran and I had a good experience running it as a young first time DM.

I love the Roghan and Zelligar stuff, the classic dungeon explorations (except for the empty rooms to waste time and generate wandering monster rolls), the cool magical pools. I remember using troglodytes as my stock humanoids a bunch there.

I also really like the Hackmaster conversion which has more Zelligar and Rohan stuff to discover and a cool story of their orc slaves realizing they are free and raiding the armory and liquor stores and militarizing as mean drunks. A bit too much crap humor and pc harassment built in but a lot to like overall for me.

I have run only the first 5 adventures in the list, so my vote isn't fully valuable... but I have to go with Horror on the Hill, just because it simply happened to turn out a more fun time, but who knows whether it was really because of the module or the player group.

Jr's a goid module imho. B2 gets a lot of votes because so many played it.

B4 &5 are better imho.

So far, "The Keep on the Borderlands" is the clear favorite, followed by "The Lost City" and "In Search of the Unknown."

It is no accident that those were the ones that Goodman Games reprinted, and that B4 this year and B2 next year got WotC 5E updates.
