Many of the old dungeon adventures are also great (a willie walsh adventure is always worth a check on IMHO).

If anybody could help me on this, I would be very, very grateful.įor me, the very best 1st edition adventure was Vault of the Drow, and that whole spider queen series (the sequel to which a cad called Greg Vaughan snatched from my grasp and infuriatingly did a fantastic job on) was given the accolade of best adventure ever in dungeon #116 (which if you haven't got it would be well worth investing in as it has a top 30 that is very good). Also, it would be nice to know the merits of each of the good ones, and how easy it would be to convert to 3.5. (There's a reason folks are begging these old designers to spit out "just one more adventure"!)Īs I have said many times before, I started playing D&D with 3.5, and with the recent PDF downloads of old supplements and adventures available on paizo I have been wondering if I should get some and if so,which ones I should get.
