When I was in primary school, before any exposure to official rpgs, I invented and played an rpg together with my brother. We called it "Charlemagne". One of us was Charlemagne and had to conquer all of Europe. The other was the DM. GAMEBOOKS PLUS "THE DARK EYE": My cousin gifted me a Lone...

Red Dragon!

Personally, I think that megadungeons can easily become boring. The writers have to invent something special to keep things exciting. Of all the dungeons mentioned by the original poster, I only DMed Rappan Athuk 3.0 and it was great. It is very deadly, full of dirty tricks, and non-linear. I...

I left with 4e and 5e made me return. I didn't even read the 4e rules. I was angry with Wotc because in 2008 the 3.x rules were still young and thriving. Paizo was in charge of the two magazines, Dragon and Dungeon, and was producing the best material ever, in particular Age of Worms and Savage...

Balagos, Ancient Red Dragon The centerpiece of my collection. The symbolic pinnacle of my Paladin's enemies.

Suggestion

Why Greyhawk? Because of nostalgia. And tradition. Personally, my favourite settings are others, but I slightly prefer Greyhawk to the Forgotten Realms.

5e was so good that I was drawn back to the hobby, played a lot, and became a collector. All in all, it's in my opinion the best edition of D&D. However, a lot of issues emerged with time. I think that the 10/10 products are few: the original Starter Set with Lost Mines of Phandelver; the three...

I like Frog god games' products. In particular I am currently running a mega campaign with Crucible of Freya (starting adventure)+ Tomb of Abysthor (good megadungeon), Rappan Athuk (one of the best megadungeons), and the frame for the campaign is provided by Sword of Air (fantastic hexcrawl/open...

I started with BECMI, went to 2e, then played with all subsequent editions except 4e. What 2e does better then 3e and 5e? Psionics. Also, Settings; for example, when I want to play Dark Sun I use 2e. Play is faster. Art also is generally better. What 2e does better then 1e? Psionics. THAC0...

S: Curse of Strahd, Tomb of Annihilation, Lost Mines of Phandelver A: Descent into Avernus, Rime of the Frostmaiden, The Light Beyond the Wytchlight B: Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Tales of the Yawning Portal, Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Storm King's Thunder C: Out of the Abyss, Tyranny of...

Baba Yaga visited Earth; in her Hut there are Soviet Tanks and other things. In Pathfinder 1 Adventure path Reign of Winter, about Baba Yaga, you have sounder proof that Earth exists. Besides, if I remember correctly, there is a Becmi Immortal adventure in which you can visit New York. The...

- D&D3.0 has a more old school, sword&sorcery vibe, D&D 3.5 and P1 are more high fantasy. Plus, they trimmed some abusable spells and item. P1 characters are generally a bit stronger. Also, P1 is a bit more complex. - Your preference can be different about the classes (for example I reslly...

Elmore. Caldwell just behind. Then Easley.

Besides the DS Boxed Set, the essentials for me are Dragon Kings; The Will & The Way; Earth, Air, Fire & Water; Dune Trader; Monstrous Compendium DS Appendix. I also love Valley of Dust & Fire. The only good adventures are Dragon's Crown and Merchant House of Amketch.
