I think I voted a bit conservatively as if I've only played/run part of a series I didn't count it.

Where's Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun?

To break it down a bit:

Played G2 and G3, ran G1
Ran Q1
Played White Plume Mtn.
Played Tomb of the Lizard King
Played Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth
Played T1 Hommlet (very badly); ran part of ToEE
Played and ran I3 Pharoah's Tomb
Played and ran the lower levels of Bone Hill but have never played or run the rest
Played Against the Cult of the Reptile God (very recently)
Played Tomb of Horrors (and survived!)

I might have played in others without realizing it; our DM often changed adventure names to suit the setting and-or plot. I also think I'm forgetting some.

Too late, but it wasn't my intent. I would have listed each adventure separately, but I hate polls with a gazillion answers. Too much noise. So, I combined the series.

Sold mine like an idiot ayear or two later. Those things go for big bucks on ebay these days. As much as the whole collectors box cost back in 99 :confused:

Really? Then I actually own something that was a collectible that I didn't intend to be a collectible! Great! :)

I ran module L3 at the last North Carolina Gameday. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun with it, though I did have to abbreviate it because of the time slot - from start to finish, that thing would probably be about 10 or 12 hours of solid gaming!
 


I've run most the adventures listed above. And to this day, a couple of them number amongst the high points of my gaming career.

Interestingly enough... I'm running The Desert of Desolation right now! Though I've decided whilst converting the material in it to 3.5 that I wanted to make a number of cosmetic adjustments to the adventure. There were a lot of standard elements in 1st Edition D&D modules that no longer appeal to me... random monsters and treasures that don't actually make much sense in light of the big picture (Y'know... how did that get in here?!?!) and similar things. Still, it is IMHO one of the greatest adventures ever written, particularly the compilation that includes the ancient alphabet and stuff.
 

At this point the following adventures or adventure series were run by over half the poll's respondents.

Slave Lords series
Against the Giants series
Tomb of Horrors
White Plume Mountain
Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
Temple of Elemental Evil

The least votes went to the Lendore Isles series (Secret of Bone Hill, Assassin's Knot, Deep Dwarven Delve). Interestingly enough, this series is the least "dungeon oriented" series there.
 


I really loved the Against the Giants series. Nothing really groundbreaking about the series, but for some reason it really appealed to me.
