I was very upset when the talking TSR ended. And now I’m just glad to see and listen to you like this. Definitely my favorite show on this channel. And perhaps one of my favorite shows ever.❤❤❤ P.S. The kua-tua should have been inserted higher.
Wow! This is better than Christmas! 50 greatest adventures of all time! And what makes it so great is that you two have earned the right & honor to do this list! Legit!
For peoples choice, do a 64 module bracket and the peeps can pick the winner of each head to head match up. Use your top 50 to create the seeds and fill in the rest with some of the near misses. Happy to help set it up!
I used to use Night Below as my sandbox starting module. I didn't start playing until the '90s so most of the stuff in this list will probably go over my head.
I’m just within the last year got into the OSR with shadowdark. I’ve been playing a west march game using the system and it was great but I heard DCC had a roll to cast system and I am currently having so much fun reading the core rule book and some of the modules from the humble bundle. Currently trying to talk my groups into playing DCC 😂
I enjoy the new show and approach, but I miss the deep dives of individual adventures from the prior show. The library is great in the background. Will you customize each of yours from the crimson curtains?
Other writers did in fact go into the levels of Castle Greyhawk, including Gygax himself, but also Rob Kuntz and a few others, and I think there were like 15 to 22 levels. Maybe it was like 18 levels. Have to look again, but I have links to it, and when you are on a level you can enter an area and it leads to Isle of Dread or into the Through the Looking Glass so it leads to whole entire other modules which you do know, were published, and of course, the dungeon levels themselves. Plus Troll Lord games (or it might be a different company) produced the literal castle, calling it something like Yggyg Castle or something, and in its own setting which you can replace Greyhawk city for this other city, but you can also just use Greyhawk City wink wink. Point is, this stuff exists, you can find it, you can play it. We have the technology. We can make the 6 million dollar man, who today would cost 6 billion dollars. The first 6 billion transgendered androgynous genderless Person, with pronouns It/Them who identifies as a Cloned Sheep....Bhaaaa
Red Hand of Doom is better set in Greyhawk along the edge of the Pomarj someplace or near one of the Marches, like the way Keep on the Borderlands was set, but there is also a Bone March, or even a settlement in the Shield Lands or along some place in the Rovers of the Barrens, but if you go with Shield Lands then obviously these are forces aligned with Iuz or Horned Society, and if you go with Pomarj you can have this be a settlement along the Wild Coast or near one of the Ulek states or Celene, but I think Wild Coast is a good choice. Lots of naturally placed Humanoids, which eventually do in fact win forming the Orcish Empire, and some human run cities run by evil humans but who hate Humanoids so you could have an Evil Party who are opposed to the Humanoids. Plus realize Iuz wants to rule Humanoids, like Orcs, but Orcs are normally aligned with their Orcish god, and would be opposed to orcs aligned with Iuz. Same is true of the other humanoids.
Please give us a warning for every spoiler so we can skip ahead. I never played most modules but I do plan to be a player in some and I might be a player in sone of them.
Agreed. If I had waited till the end I would have included it as well. The only crazy thing about this list is how low the great Gygax is. No worthy list has his work listed as an afterthought. I like these guys, but are the rest of the voters 16 years old and never looked up from their phone? @@swirvinbirds1971
@@carthaginean We were surprised too! (I really like G2 and Chris is a huge fan of D2. If you recall our Top 10 list on Talking TSR, Gygax was very well represented.) One factor to consider is that because we've included 2nd and 3rd Edition era products and other game systems, the adventure pool is larger, plus we've allowed judges to choose compilations (such as G1-3 Against the Giants or Queen of the Spiders) so it's quite possible G2 and D2 will see later action on the list in that way. Trust in Gygax!
Wow. Thanks for the response. First off, I really enjoyed all your classic reviews. And as a fellow NJ guy around the same age I may have bumped into you at East-Con at Glassboro State in 1984. I find many of these types of rankings suffer from the recency effect. But if not for the creator (GG) and the original dozen page masterpieces there would be none of these massive over produced tomes. That should count for something. (I do have and like all 7 of the hardcover reprints... and I only play 1e). Keep up the good work and my best to Chris as well. Are you familiar with the Role Aids offerings? Dwarves was ahead of its time and worth a review. Thanks and I look forward to more installments. @@rickmaffei
WOR - Crazy Eddie's Prices are Insane!!!
King Kong and Godzilla were my favorite part of Thanksgiving weekend.

I have run Red Hand of Doom several times, it's one of my favorite adventures and a year + is absolutely how long it can take to run.

Red Hand should be much, much higher but I am glad it made the list.

🤩Love the new show.
So nice to see you!

People’s choice sounds awesome

I'm pumped for this list! Watched live and now my 2nd rewatch.
Maybe others might be interested in these. Talking TSR 2/5/23

Red Hand of Doom is old enough to vote, sure it counts as a classic module
Give us more!

This should be waaaay higher ranked...tsk tsk
$30 in 1995 is about $61.94 today

WAY too low for the Frost Giant Jarl.
And D2... That's a classic.
