Im curious as to what everyones opinion is about the highest quality non tsr adventure they have personally read or play tested. This could be a combination of low print runs, obscurity, or whatever, But please Im mostly interested in the actually playability quality not just scarcity or auction prices.

Seriously, brother: it's way, way too big. I know you've been PM'd, and it's been mentioned on other threads, too. Give us a break, huh?

Starstone has to be one of the best.
Though not a module - Irilian  (From WD 42-47 IIRC) has to be one of the great adventures

ok fine, I deleted the avatar since I guess some people are too bothered by it  to actually add any meaningful posts.. ( I thought maybe the site would automatically resize it)

I like a lot of the Rolemaster stuff, especially Iron Wind and Shade of the Sunken Plain.  Have never played them, but they look interesting to attempt to convert.
  Anyone remember Stones of the Selt?  That was a cool little island/archipelago area with a good adventure, used parts of that in my home campaign many years ago.  And of course, I love The Companions stuff I've read (Curse on Hareth, Plague of Terror, Gems for Death, etc)   Used parts of the Gems for Death and Streets of Gems in my personal campaign about 20 years ago and they worked out well.
  Hmmm, need to dig through my stuff to come up with a better list....

Hate to take the easy way out but Dark Tower and Tegel are still high up on my list.

I guess that would have to apply to D&D (any version) only. If you open it up to any game system it gets a lot harder. Do you want strictly D&D or is any game system?

Dark Tower and Caverns of Thracia — there is a reason they are both often mentioned in discussions like this one.

And, for those nights when only OTT hacking and slashing will do, I don't think you can go wrong with the better parts of the original Arduin trilogy.

I keep forgetting about Caverns...I will have to add that virtually through this post to mine  :lol:

I have always like judges guild Thieves of Fortress Badabaskor and Role Aids Lich Lords, Although I dont own many of the older non tsr d&d items as they are getting harder to find and obtain. There are alot of good quality items out there suitable for d&d game sessions Im sure I have never heard of witch is why I ask. Im learning alot though about some of the more obscure items.

Thank you grodog, I found the links you posted in this forum very informative.

Very curious about the Caverns of Thracia, I dont see it come up to often  for auction. Any details about this item anyone care to offer?

Our very own Plaag has compiled an excellent Judges Guild section here. It can be reached from the "front" page ... but, to save you a trip, here's a link to the Thracia page:

Caverns of Thracia
