Which adventure was your first? Ever itch to play/DM it again?

Our group recently brought up the option of playing B2 Keep on the Borderlands again using the BD&D rules for a one-nighter..just to see if the Elf and Halfling can really take out the Owlbear or Minotaur again. For most of us, it was our first..way back in the early 80's.

What was your first pre-printed adventure and do you ever want to re-live those moments?

My first adventure I ran was the mini-adventure in the Holmes basic set. No desire there.

My first full-sized adventure was In Search of the Unknown. While some things come back about it, I really have no desire to run it again. Adding references to it in my campaign, and perhaps a sequel, that I would be interested in.
 

The first time I played D&D, I DM'd Keep on the Borderlands. I don't think I'd like go back again. The nostalgia is warm and comforting, and trying to recapture the experience would be inevitably disappointing I think.

Against the Giants Silver Edition for 2e. Was a player in it.

I plan on running that at some point in time in the midst of other things. [Fighting that many Giants now just seems boring, even if there are different types].

Keep on the Borderlands. I don't remember a lot about it, but I do remember how back in the day my character was mystically able to carry anything. I still remember writing 42 helmets on my character sheet...

Search for the Unknown. I've used pieces of it over the years. It had some nice little quirks which I've used. The room of pools and mystic stone have both made appearances over the years.

The first time I ever gamed we played the Dragonlance Classics module Dragons of Ice. I played a half-elf ranger. I distinctly remember the roof of that inn in Tarsis being ripped off and sivak draconians descending from the skies. I barely remember anything else, as it happened in the winter of 1991 (I was 14).

I ran the module again in the winter of 1997 while I was in college. We were knee deep in the Classics campaign, and I was DMing two separate groups (one at home, the other at school), just like they suggest in the module (and just like it happens in the Chronicles books). We made it as far as Icewall/Silvanesti, and the campaign dissolved after that.

I also remember one of our first modules was Dymrak Dread, which I had the opportunity of dusting off for our new Age of Worms campaign. I had three adventuresome kids from Diamond Lake wander too far from town, close to the "Dymrak Cairn" as I dubbed it, which was inhabited by goblins. The kids were taken as slaves, and the PCs had to save them. They did this in-between visits to the Whispering Cairn.

I love dipping into old modules. I'd REALLY love to run Ravenloft 16/House of Strahd sometime again.

My first game of D&D was back in 1994. I have no idea what the module was as it was all very new to me at the time. I was in year 8 (the first year of high school in Australia) and of my high school teachers ran it for me and my friends. I'm not even sure whether it was 1st or 2nd Edition (I imagine that it was 2E).

From what I remember it did involve us going into a temple of some sort. I threw some figurines that were in a diorama on the floor and they grew to man size and attacked us. I also remember opening a casket and having a vampire start forming in front of us. Luckily we killed it before it properly materialised/transformed. I also remember someone in the party climbing on top of a statue, causing it to fall over. Everyone was knocked down as a wave of water crashed down from behind the statue. There was also an sword that made me invisible and mummies involved.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? It would be interesting to know exactly what it was that I played through.

Like so many others, it was B2 Keep on the Boderlands... followed by moving to the "Expert series" with X1 The Isle of Dread. I've thought about both, and I probably would go back to the Isle before I'd revisit the Borderlands.
