If this is a thread that was already done, I apologize and please point me in the right direction.I am a huge fan of modules and consume more than I should **burp** , but I can't help it. I really enjoy the OD&D modules, as well as the JG ones. (No need to list them) As someone who enjoys these, could those of you who have purchased & played (game tested) these please tell me more about them. How well are they written, do they have nice artwork, are the maps done well, etc. Thanks in Advance,

Man, I love those products. Some of the maps are shitty, but the artwork is otherwise pretty good, and the feel of the adventures is nice and gritty.
