Worst D&D adventure of all time?

[ThirdWizard]

The Module That Shall Not Be Named... hiding it behind spoilers for the sake of all :

Spoiler

Die Vecna Die

That's the one.

Egg of the Phoenix. It apparently was a series of RPGA modules strung together, as I recall. I remember it as a poorly-written mess. It just didn't hang together well.

Needle - another poorly written, boring module.

 

[S'mon]

"Nightmare Keep" set (literally) in the bowels of a lich is the one I hated most, but most 2e stuff was pretty terrible IMO. For 3e stuff Necropolis nearly killed my campaign, while Bastion of Broken Souls' endless stat blocks detterd me from trying to run it.

Most of the 2e lankhmar stuff is crap, from a setting/Leiber fan perspective. Female thieve's guild members? What you say? Did they even read the books? Blasphemy! Seriously, you have to dig hard in most of those books to find some nuggets, and most of them are the bad kind.

Aye! Die Dale "Slade" Henson Die!

Oh yes. Dale "Slade" Henson and Anthony Pryor took a very well adapted, classic setting, and turned it into a dumping ground for lame ideas that had nothing to do with Leiber's work... not to mention it wasn't even good generica. I wish I never paid money for these stinkers.

The Temple of the Frog in Supplement 2 Blackmoor was poor as the stats were incomplete and it was badly organised.

Under the storm giants castle was poor too.

 

[Krug]

So what's the worst 3E adventure so far?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

For 2^nd Edition I'd have to say Return To The Tomb Of Horrors. Extra-Planar? Eh.

Expedition to Barrier Peaks gets nominated for the bunch of stupid, sci-fi garbage in the module. I can accetp warforged, but robots? C'mon!

Best. Adventure. Ever. Scifi was a long-established theme in sword-and-sorcery. You never read the Kane books or played Arduin?

Oh, man. I knew Fritz through my best friend. We showed him some of that stuff, and he made this sort of "*Phtagggh!*" sound
