This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Best of the best published adventures?

Quote from: mearlsIn the 1980s, the British D&D adventure designers ran circles around their American counterparts....

The Alderweg Series...

Drums on Fire Mountain...

All That Glitters...

U-Series...

Night's Dark Terror: The best of the bunch...

I agree 100 percent.  :D

My only complaint with your post is that you failed to mention UK 4 When A Star Falls (it started with a 'memory web' in which the players were given the fragmented memories of a failed expedition of monks; it also included a Derro settlement devastated by a meteorite; a shadow assassin that trailed the PCs; a settlement of evil snirvneblin 'technicians'; and a book that foretold the future).

Forgot that one, or more accurately confused it with All That Glitters...

The memories were particularly evocative and well-written. It was an interesting way to get the PCs involved in the story, give them exposition, and give hints as to what's going on.

Quote from: mearlsThe Alderweg Series: Defend a mountain fortress against an attacking hobgolbin army led by a fire giant. Find and interact with an intelligent artifact that sets you off on a quest to destroy its rival.

I played through the Alderweg series back in high school.  It was an incredibly fun pair of modules.  One of the high points of my times as a player rather than GM.
