Since there are so many adventures in the "B" series, I thought it would be best to separate them out as their own poll.

I have run, B1, B2, B3, B5 and B7.

B7 - Rahasia, I ran in my "Out of the Frying Pan" Aquerra campaign for the first and only time. There is a page for the module on the Aquerra wiki.

B2 - The Keep on the Borderlands (<---another wiki link), I have run countless times since I first started playing D&D. Most recently in my "Second Son of a Second Son" noble adventurers campaign. In this incarnation, the keep became "the ruined keep on the old borderlands" and the caves of chaos became "the King Stones."

I lost B5 long ago, and B1 was the inspiration for "The Underkeep of Thion-Geb & Alazair" - a famous dungeon outside of Verdun, the largest city in Aquerra.

I have also run B3 - Palace of the Silver Princess many times and its setting became the foundation for Aquerra's version of the Feywild ;) - which is something that has not been explored in any other campaigns I have run in Aquerra, as of yet.
 

Journey to the Rock was mostly unmemorable. I don't really remember much out of it, other than being taken prisoner by harpies, then our imprisoned character pummeling the hell out of one of 'em when she made the mistake of getting too close to our cage. Heh, heh, heh...

Castle Caldwell we failed at because the retard I was gaming with thought it'd be a capital idea to smash the large metal bell at the entrance. Yeah. We didn't last too long after that.

I really want a copy of Rahasia though. I really liked that one. The villain, "The Sahib" (IIRC) I always wanted to set up as a destabilizing agent sent by the Master of the Desert Nomads.
 

1–5 are the only one's that interested me enough to acquire. 2 & 4 are the only one's I've run/play so far.

The "solo" one: I kind of liked the premise that the book itself was a magic notebook used by each adventurer to brave the castle. It ended up being the least interesting solitaire adventure I've ever played, though.
 

The Veiled Society! Man, I forgot all about that one! I remember having quite a good time running it.

Borderlands, though? kind of lame.
 

I'm one session away from finishing B4.

If you're going to run B4 I recommend using the new intro adventure which appeared in Dungeon 142, Masque of Dreams. Saving party goers from slavers was much more interesting premesis to my players than to just stumble across the pyramid.
 

I've run B4 a couple times and it went down well both times.

B12 is a sequel to B11 but can easily be played as a stand-alone adventure (and as I don't have B11 that's what I've run it as twice). Features a nifty little dungeon crawl to begin with, followed by a battle against a self styled queen who has a nasty sword, with the special power of command over goblinoids... 40HD worth of them! So she's used that to enslave the leaders of several tribes and set herself up in a small castle in the hills. Quite a tough challenge for a party of low level PC's and requires the group to think of tactics rather than just attack the fort outright. My PC's had a blast playing it both times I've run it.
 

I've run B1, 2, 3 & 4 multiple times. Keep and Lost City are by far the best, and still some of the best low-level adventures ever written. Both provide for a wide variety of story lines and expansion options.
