If you could pick only one...

What's the single 3.5 module you would choose to run/play and why? It can be from any setting and any level range you'd like.

[sideswipe]

tomb of horrors, i would love to forget how to get through it and play it.

because tomb of horrors.....

[Thurbane]

Well, technically 3.0, but I'd love to take a run through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (levels 4 - 14).

Loved the original so much back in our 1E/2E days.

...as a DM, I'm very much looking forward to running the Shackled City hardcover (collection of the Dungeon mag adventure path) one day (levels 1 - 20).

[(Un)Inspired]

Charmander!

Wait... What are we choosing?

I'd love to get a chance to play through Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I've read though it a couple of times (I'm gonna be running it modified for pathfinder for my players as part of an ongoing campaign). Now I'll never be able to enjoy it as a player.

[Riculf]

Would really like to play through the Giant modules (G1-3) again in 3.5. Played through Return to the ToEE. Really enjoyed it. Really did build up in a satisfying way :smallbiggrin:

[aspekt]

Already named really:

Giant modules (incl. The Libetation of Geoff)

Barrier Peaks

Tomb of Horrors and its sequels.

Rod of Seven Parts

The 1ed Drow modules.

Honestly a low powered run through Village of Hommlet, Keep on the Borderlands, and the like would be really cool for me.

I DM'd most of these as a kid, but never got to play them.

[Blueiji]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Red Hand of Doom. I've never played it myself but it seems rather popular around here.

My group has played though it twice - one as 3.X noobs, and then again last year. Very enjoyable adventure.

[LoyalPaladin]

Probably DL4 Dragons of Desolation. I loved the Dragonlance campaign...

To DM, this. To be a player, any other.

War of the Burning Sky. This is a lot to go through, but it looks really good. I wish there was a Pathfinder edition for this.

I kinda like the Sunless Citadel series, but the last part is so evil that I don't think I could run it for my group.

Why specifically?

Just curious, I'm looking for a module to run for my group and I'm trying to decide which one would be the most fun for them.

I'm leaning towards RHoD. I've ne Ed played but everyone says the story is really good and it's quite varied with the settings and combats.

Is the whole series considered all the modules that run players up to 20th level? Are they all connected, or are they all stand alone adventures?

It's a notoriously gygaxian module, but if your players are happy with having 2-3 backup characters or easy access to rez magic, then it'll be fine.

Seriously, it's actually fun.

Unless they miss a certain clue in the very first room. A very missable clue.

[Amphetryon]

Nobody's said White Plume Mountain?

[weckar]

I'm not a big module player myself (more a sotp sort of DM), but I will certainly bookmark this thread for the future.

Keep on the Borderlands

Keep on the Borderlands
Roll for initiative?! (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/multi/2013/06/tiny-tinas-assault-on-dragons-keep-1.jpg)

I've never heard of that one before.

It's an extremely well known module that's been around in some form since AD&D, if not earlier.

Huh. I'll have to check it out! I'm always on the hunt for new modules!

Actually, they are 8 stand alone adventures with most having some connection to the other ones. They run from level 1 to 20. Sunless Citadel is the introduction and mentions the BBEG from Bastion of Broken Souls. There are some bad parts, but with a little bit of a rewrite you can make it a lot better. Take the Desmodu from Deep Horizon, many gamers disliked them. You could easily use the lost dwarven clan of Khundrukar instead (from Forge of Fury, the second module.) and use the death of their leader to kick of Lord of the Iron Fortress.

I beg to differ. I played a couple sessions of it once, and it was awful. It was almost entirely puzzles and traps. Individually, the slow-down is tolerable. But combined? When you're afraid to do anything involving the puzzle for fear of death? It's freakin' awful. I don't care about how many times I die; I care about how many hours we spend in the same room trying to solve a puzzle by poking it with 11-foot poles.

How is it slow-down when, in this case, that IS the game?

It's not a good puzzle game, because you don't feel comfortable experimenting because traps. So every attempt at solving a puzzle becomes buried behind an hour of poking everything for fear of death. And it's not a very good trap game because, in my experience, the traps were not set up in such a way that you could out-think them-- they're random, arbitrary, and require Disable Device checks rather than clever solutions.
