as a player, i have to say i have 3 TSR ones that really stand out. the G series was amazing. Q1 for me was just fab - they DM was great and it led to a fantastic game and of course my other old favorite U1. one of the best low level games i ever participated in. was a ton of fun and the first game i was in as a player, when my daughter also played.

as a DM, without any doubt, i would say Tegel Manor at GenCon last year. had we played that some more, i think it would have turned out to be one of the best games all of us would have been involved in. the role-play was superb and was a ton of fun all round. for me, thats what every game should be about.

the main reason for Tegel, is that it was a very old-school bare bones adventure, which just leaves everything to the DMs imagination, so you can mould it to the way the players are and can lead to a great game.

i have other favorites too, but these prb stand out far more than most others do.

As a player, the Giants and Drow Series, though if we had the time to play more often, then I think Mikes Game would be up there too.
It has been a lot of fun so far, but we seldom get together.

As a DM, a game I created for On-Line message board play.
It was really more of a campaign than a single adventure.
It was called DarkBlade and we played it for about two years before I had to end it due to real life concerns....

The beginning of the game involved Two Rival thieves guilds who were fighting for control of a city. A lot of political (City Councils and Law enforcement offcials) behind the back rangling went on as well. It also involved an unusual sword of course.....

For me, a months-long home brew epic in the late '70s...

...which I trimmed down to become R3 and R4.

I voted for Official TSR product because of the G series, but it was a toss up between them and Judges Guild's Dark Tower.

actually john, youre right there. i had forgotten that module as well!

the original ravenloft is amongst one of THE best adventures. a pure DMs dream. its great for building atmosphere. i "almost" took that to GenCon last year, as i thought it would have made a great game there, alas i did Tegel in the end, due to others being more unfamiliar with it.

Dark Tower all the way for me! The Desert of Desolation series is my favorite from TSR

well, referring to this, is there any update on the 3E Tegel Manor... IIRC it should have been released by 2006 or so...  

In short it'll be 4e and maybe 2008

I voted for Non TSR due to playing in a Tegel Manor game run years ago at GenCon.  For me as a DM it would have been home brew, but then it all really comes down to the group playing in that regard.

I'll have to be boring and vote for the G1,2,3 then D1,2,3 then Q1. Maybe that was the heyday of my youthful playing. I Dm'ed and it kept a great group entertained for ages. Even Q1, I did the alternate worlds thing and created some interesting side adventures, which everyone loved.

I went for the homebrew I'm affraid, but there are three that really stick in my mind from the 20+ years I played.

First off was our first venturings into B2 Keep on the Borderlands. A friend got the basic set for Christmas '78/'79 and the experst set a month or so later, and it all began there. We bought White Dwarf 'cos you couldn't buy Dragon, and got floor plans and miniatures by mail order. But the first memorable excursions were into B2.

Secondly, about a year or so later, we had expanded into AD&D in a campaign at school, and ran through Irillian (White Dwarf). It was only really memorable 'cos it was a solid 20+ hours gameplay non-stop.

But for me, my local hobby shop ran an inhouse dungeon crawl for some six hears solid, with all sorts of parties running through it concurrently. I played in that dungeon for maybe three years, and on account of it being so bloody large, and finely detailied; us having some great DMs, and my character truely developing from a 1st level fighter through to a veteran of the megadungeon's deeper levels, it was truely a fantastic adventure. That said, I probably only ever got to see half of it. We could have stayed in there for many more years.



I've seen that guy somewhere before?
