Castle greyhawk was silly but the parts I ran were fun when I ran them.I'd have to say Ship of Horrors for Ravenloft. It doesn't make enough use of its cool elements such as the three ghosts or the undead who can pull off their limbs. Ravenloft empowers undead to grossly powerful levels but the necromancer's created undead are not empowered. There is a whole section of the plot where the DM is left on his own with just a family chart and set of personalities, no guidance on using them or even a map of the home where the party will interact with them. I ran a really cool adventure using the module, but it was cool because I fleshed everything out on my own and put the elements they had in there to some relevant use that the PCs could interact with and notice. As a DM tool for out of the box use it was really poor.Lord of the Iron Fortress is pretty much the same way for 3e. No real intro hook. It fleshes out a planar city where the PCs are supposed to do major investigation with half a page of description. Important NPC information scenes happen because the party just runs into them radomly at coincidentally the right time. The information clues leading to the next stages are just dumb gimmes and don't explain why the NPCs don't act on their information even though they have more direct interests than the PCs. BBEG is a cult follower but all his clerics are followers of different gods. The Macguffin doom sword is pathetically unimportant even if the PCs fail and it is completed/created. Major rewrite required throughout.</blockquote>
