This is a catch-all thread for anyone running older modules for the first time or doing so again after many years. I started running the Ravenloft modules again a couple of years ago. I started with The Book of Crypts, an anthology book of adventures. I made a point of running the adventures exactly as intended, in the style the writers had in mind (because I wanted my group to experience Ravenloft the way we would have been playing it when it was being published: I wanted them to have an experience of the stuff as primary texts to give them a glimpse of gaming in the 90s). My style has evolved a lot since then, and so it was interesting to try to return to that approach. I recently picked up Adam's Wrath. I recalled liking a lot of Lisa Smedman's stuff back then, and this was an adventure I remembered using at my table back in the day (I do know I ran it at least once or twice but most of my memories are how much use the book had as fodder for material after I ran it; a lot of these modules had parts you could extract and put into other adventures). I am going to read through it this afternoon and will probably post an update when I have run it.

If you've been running any of the older modules, feel free to share here.

I recently ran Steading of the Hill Giant Chief and White Plume Mountain. Both 5e conversions.

Hill giants was a blast. A stealth raid that forced the PCs to avoid a big or long fight.

White Plume Mountain was forgettable annd overly funhouse style for my liking. Three magic items are also a bit overpowered ( my PCs have no intention of returning them). Anyway those items make a nice excuse for additional adventures as original owners want them back.

I've been thinking of running the Slave Lords modules, using a rules set other than AD&D.  Maybe 5e, maybe Castles & Crusades, maybe Olde Swords Reign.

My brother ran a campaign on the idea that the players rarely return the artifacts.
It went in a Harry Potter direction, with the artifacts being part of a set of phylacteries for Keraptis.
He ran us through a bunch of the old modules with that setup being a link for them.

I've been running a Traveller campaign on the ship and I've run a number of CT modules mixed in with my own stuff.  Off the top of my head, I've run Death Station (DA3) and Ship in the Lake (old zine adventure).
