Does it deserve its title of "greatest D&D adventure ever published"?

>>54160387
No, X1 Isle of Dread does.
>>
>>54161324
What's so good about Isle of Dread?
>>
>>54160387
No, vampires are a boring overdone trope and Ravenloft treats them in the stereotypical way.
>>
>>54160387
The van richtons guides were great, and the setting as a whole once fleshed out was always fun. but the module itself is a slogfest of slow paced shit. Currently running through it in 5e with some ppl, and god damn its super fucking boring. though thats probably mostly because its being run by a new dm and new players and I'm the only experience player and DM at the table.
>>
Tomb of Horrors is better.
>>
>>54161712
You're complaining about the TSR module because you dislike the 5e remake? Come on.
>>
>>54161671
There's nothing inherently wrong with that. Almost everything in D&D is a fantasy cliche.

Would you prefer some nu male twilight style vampires instead?

>>54161763
Tomb of Horrors? It's just a Gygaxian dungeon crawl. It's only considered good because of its lethality.
>>
>>54160387
As far as I can remember, Ravenloft was the first module to use the 3D dungeon format, which was pretty cool, but I don't remember it being remarkable otherwise, except, I guess, for having a horror mood to it.

Personally, I like White Plume Mountain, if you're okay with a relatively compact module with magical shenanigans.

Everything. Run it tomorrow.

S1 is linear garbage and everything telegraphs from a mile away.
>>
All you fags are wrong. It's Barrier Peaks.
>>
>>54162029
Barrier Peaks is cool, though a bit expansive for my tastes.

This was another great Ravenloft adventure. Best ghost story I ever played.
>>
>>54161712
The 5e remake is a super expanded version of the original module spanning levels 1-10. It's basically a mini campaign.
>>
i6 Ravenloft is the best. I've even run in converted to loads of other systems.

Hands down the best D&D module.
>>
>>54160387

No, although it deserves accolades for advancing the idea of game-as-story.

Personally, I think the GoaT is Keep on the Borderlands and the second greatest is Isle of Dread on influence alone. Both were chosen as intro modules for a reason, and the introducing new players to Fort vs Frontier and hexcrawl gaming first was a huge influence on how the game would be played and designed for in the future.

The best adventure is Against The Cult of The Reptile God, Anon
>>
>>54161429

Meh , I picked up a physical copy of this for far more than it was worth to use as inspiration and a basis for my hexcrawl

I soon realised the crawl I was designing was infinitely more detailed and interesting and there was very little here for me to use at all.

I suppose it's awesome if you're used to far more railroaded adventures but it's a weak example of a crawl mostly due to its age. Pathfinders Kingmaker does it a lot better.

Ive always wanted to run barrier peaks
