Apr 27, 2011 19:03:09 I didn't have all the Mystara adventures by any means. I do remember really liking In Search of Adventure, keep on the Borderlands and the Lost City.

Apr 30, 2011 11:41:08 I don't have all of them either. I have B1-B4, X1, X4-X6, and couple others. My favorites are X4 & X5. I love the wide scope of the Master's war against the Republic and the 'behind enemy lines' mission at the heart of that 2-part story.

Apr 30, 2011 23:55:36 Yes, the two Desert Nomads modules are great, aren't they? I was looking through my stuff and it looks like I really only have basic and expert modules and then some odd ad&d.
The other Expert D&D module I had was x1 the Isle of Dread, which I strangely have 2 copies of. Same with Keep on the Borderlands, 2 copies.

I also found M1 Blizzard Pass, a thief solo adventure. If I remember right I played through this myself since I rarely got to play since I Dm'ed all the time. Then I think I ran my party through the group play version in the back (which is VERY different in structure and map layout then the single play).

May 30, 2011 18:07:41 I didn't get a chance to play or run many of the Known World/Mystara adventures, but X1 was great fun to play through and X6 was great fun to run. :D

I always wanted to play through the adventures in Wrath of the Immortals, but never got the chance, though I borrowed a few things here and there for other adventures.

I like the Solo from the Basic set best---- It had the BEST NPC ever Bargle and ALeena (rrewrote history and saved her, she is now high priiestess for Karameikos ;))

from the ones I own (not enough ;))

B-series: Best were B11+B12 - great introduction
EX-series: Desert Nomad War (E4+E5 IIRC) - runner up Isle of Dread - only problem is how to get low level adventurers on the voyage (the keep telling me they want to stay near "Civilisation :D)
CM-series - generally weak, Test of Warlords is the best of the weak ;)
M-series - M5 Talons of Night
OTHER DDA4 DYmrak Dread

BEst Setting
PC4 Night Howlers - AOUUUUUUUU!

Jun 16, 2011 11:41:03 I must've played through the Basic Set solo adventure a dozen times when I was a kid. Heck, the fighter I played through Isle of Dread was that fighter from the Basic Set.

And, another vote for Night Howlers being superb. I cooked up a werespider using the rules in that supplement as a guide post.

Jun 16, 2011 13:02:22 Of the modules I've run or played with strong specific elements that tied it into Mystara, I think B11 and B12 seem quite good, and I have fond memories of Skarda's Mirror. B5 Horror on the Hill is my favorite basic module and easily adapted to include a lot of Mystaran elements. X1 Isle of Dread is probably my favorite expert module, although the X4/X5/X10 series is really great too.

The Keep is a classic of course - Too bad it did not have a story -

Looking Backwards, I think the Keep was (one of) the first Setting(s) - they didn't call it this back then ;)
