If you study Victorian literature and lifestyle at all, you have to nod in admiration at some of the "extensions" Gygax made to Wonderland. The humor, however, is trite and contrived and never really works. This is an example of how to create a wonderful tribute to an existing work, and also the pitfalls in the procedure. If you're thinking of adapting a classic novel and making an adventure out of it, read this. (EX2, although not as well-designed, is worth a nod.)
I'd hoped to see something strange make the list, such as a WG5/6/7, an R-series, or a non-TSR module. I'm a little surprised nothing from the UK-series made the cut.

Neither time did anyone have characters that were high enough level to go through it, so they were just "pick-up" games with pre-generated characters. And . . . well, when they are not your character, it's is difficult to care quite as much about the adventure.

On behalf of BC, thanks to all who took the time to vote (28 voters, BTW, although not everyone filled out all 20 places).The full top 30 list, along with some details that I found interesting, will follow within the hour. For now, I thought you might want to know that our winner is ...(drum roll)[ Image ]
