I know that we picked our Top 10 adventure awhile back, but lets make this official like. There only 3 rules to this list: 1) Everyone gets to pick his/her own Top 20 modules. Anymore than twenty will not be counted.

That sort of behavior would be considered insane by 90% of companies making modules today. The booklet of the module itself was seperated from the outer folder and was saddlestitched - that means you can lay it flat! Whysoever would you want your module to lay flat and stay open to the right page? Todays companies would say, "Perfect bound copies or hardcovers are a better format because you can see the title on the spine. Who cares if you can't lay it flat?

I'm glad to see we're all still capable of stepping back from the "it must be mine" mindset that has been creeping in to this board.
