The Temple of Elemental Evil.
It wasn't that great of a module, but at the time I played in it, it seemed so expansive and so detailed. The Keep is a close second for me.

B4 (Lost City).

First module I played as a youngster in the early '80s (my dad as DM, my bro and I as players), although I think we only got in one gaming session (we got as far as the second level, "Tier 2") before the game collapsed due to infighting between my bro & I :lol:. I have since re-aquired it (eBay) and absolutely love it. I'm dying to run it, but I'm too busy as a Player at the moment and I can't seem to stop joining new PbP games :D !

What a great memory! :D

As a kid, there were either never enough people to play a proper game, or not enough time to finish the game if there were. So, most of my experience with old modules is from reading them in hopes of playing them one day, which has finally arrived.

From my reading, B10 was my favorite, which is why I'm running it.

B4. Zargon (was that his name?) was one bad mutha. That guy gave me the willies when our group fought him. I don't have the module, but I remember it fondly... wow... that's old.

Sci Fi: CHAMAX PLAGUE (Traveller)

fantasy = Keep on the Borderlands.
Sci - Fi = Anomalies for 4th edition Traveller.
Post Apocalypse = the starter adventure in Aftermath.

Fantasy = none, never ran or played a published module. :(

Horror = One of the introductory adventures on the CoC rulebook whose name I can't remember rigtht now. It is the only normal CoC scenario I have ever seen that provides a logical, common sense reason why the group of investigators bands together and investigates, even if none of them know each other beforehand. Must have run it 6 times for different groups as the intro adventure. Shows just how ill-planned, ham-fisted and railroading most other CoC adventures really are.

Sci-Fi = As a Game Master, CHAMAX PLAGUE, one of the only two modules I've ran for Mongoose Traveller, the other being TYPE S. Chamax plague is an Alien's ripoff that was phenomenal to run with an inventive group.
As a player, CROWDED HOURS. the only Traveller adventure I've played and where I lost two PCs, but the second was instrumental in saving the survivors.

Which one is the 4th edition exactly? I know CT = 1st and MT = 2nd .

I was never a module junkie...usually just built the setting for myself...but there was one in particular...
