The little bit I went through it yet it still was great would be Tegel Manor
The worst probably Undermountain.
Those both as players.

As DM its hard to say, if I didn't like it I didn't run it. I really can't say right now specifically..I keep typing in something them rethink it or think of something else.  May have to get back to this.

Ravenloft as a player and then later as a DM.  No question.

My favorite D&D and AD&D modules (pregen) to DM over the years have been B1, G1-3, Ruins of Undermountain, D1-3, I1, L1 and T1-4.

Favorite module as a DM, for me, is either S or T1, with some high nods to Tegel Manor and Dark Tower.

As a player, I've never ran through a module, or, don't know I have -- that is, the DM never said it was, or was not, and I've never really cared to do any checking to see -- some things are reminiscent now and again, but I think the DM, like me, culled only the parts he liked.

As a player, I enjoyed the G series and Tegel Manor more than anything else.  As a DM, Ravenloft was the most fun.

As for the worst....it would have to be S2.  Lets just say that the DM was a complete idiot and totally screwed up the whole thing.  As for me.....I tried to DM H4 for a few guys back in college.  Suffice to say it was a disaster.

Wait... Somebody actually ran that?

Didn't initially include the "made them myself" or "homebrew" as you've mentioned - that gets more complex to sort thru. Beats DIY D&D!

Aside: As people may have whined in the early days of D&D being difficult - it's amazing that no one created an Idiot's Guide to being a DM or Player.
OR, has it been done? - not something promoted here.

Hi all,

I'd have to say that my worst experience DMing a module was WG10 Gargoyle.

Our regular DM had called in sick at the last moment, so I bravely stepped in, having had this idea that I could use Gargoyle as a one-session filler, but the module's jokey tone -- an unfortunate feature of Greyhawk products at the time, alas -- was completely at odds with our campaign, and I just remember the whole thing being a disaster.

Cheers,

As a player...had to be Under the Storm Giants Castle. No question. We had a party of verteran first level characters - all within striking distance of second level and then BOOM (literally) they died from exploding balloonies within 30 minutes of starting the module. I think I am still in shock nearly 25 years later!


My favorite as a DM is really a difficult decision. I ran tons of TSR mods back in the day. It is a toss up between A1 and T1.

Hermit reminded me about the U series. That was a great time for me as DM; specifically U1 definately one of my favorites - the players were convinced they were after some type of undead fiend!
