Ok, so whats everyones favorite and most enjoyable published Forgotten Realms adventure? I personally liked the Randal Morn Trilogy of adventures, im sure that Ruins of Undermountain is a great adventure to play or DM but ive never had the privilage (yet). Is RoUM anything more than a simple dungeon crawl? Is there any ongoing indepth plot to it?

Raiders of Galath's Roost from Dungeon 8x. What could be more Realmsian than drow, the Zhentarim, and a menacing cleric of Bane? :) |

Nightmare Keep, FMA1 City of Gold (in Maztica), and the short adventure in The Jungles of Chult adventure known as The Heart of the Jungle. I probably enjoyed that last one so much because James Lowder's Ring of Winter remains my favorite FR novel. |

Quest for the Heartstone circa 1984. Requires some translations but man is it a good mod. |

I did actually, converted to Pathfinder though I stuck in the Ruins as part of my modified Kingmaker adventure path. It worked well as a scary place to be low level, maybe too well because after they escaped the first time they didn't go back into the ruins for 5 or 6 more levels. Wild magic areas and dead magic areas, traps, monsters of all kinds, and great wonders all mixed in make the Ruins of Myth Drannor one of my favorite adventuring locations in the Realms. |

Bizarrely, Ruins of Hellgate Keep. Iconic place, cool baddies (Sarya Dlardrageth, Khaanyr Vhok) and so much happens in it. |

I've been running through the Night Below lately. Myself, the DM and the other players all got bored by the time we reached Glass Pool. |

Myth Drannor, I've always wanted to do that! Ever since I read about it the Elminster Novels. |

The best FR specific adventures has to be The Randall Morn Trilogy. My current party started with this and when they were successful they became known as The Freemen of Dagger Falls - happy days 
Forgotten Terror (the 2nd half of the Forgotten Realms/Ravenloft crossover) is my favourite by far. The adventure is superb. Sadly, Castle Spulzeer, the Forgotten Realms first half, needs a lot of work to be salvaged. Basically, cut most of the encounters prior to reaching the Castle. |

Ruins of the Undermountain is the best of 'em all... The biggest, too. Especially with the second box, the novel, and the three 32-page adventures.
No way. Anyone purchase or read the Ruins of Myth Drannor? One the better but understated campaign settings in the Forgotten Realms. More and surprisingly sharper material the RotU 1 and 2.

Hmmm... I don't have a favorite FR module... and even though I own several, I have never played or DM-ed them. I tend to 'borrow' encounter ideas for them and use the modules as sources of (canon)information.
I prefer to write my own scenarios, specifically suited to the characters in my campaign and the story I have in mind. |

I ran Doom of Daggerdale as my first FR adventure (It was either that or "Beneath the Twisted Tower", its all a bit hazy now, one followeed the other anyway), I added much of my own material but really enjoyed running the adventure and the players also enjoyed playing it. I find that with the 32 page modules such as this that they do need a lot of fleshing out to make it more interesting.
I enjoy running campaigns around the Daggerdale area and using the Zhentarim as an ongoing threat........ kind of builds up the PC's hatred for them |

Greetings Realms Fans,
I'm new to these boards - just saw mention of them on one of the other FR boards or lists that I frequent. They look interesting and lively. I think I'll enjoy it here.
Personally my favorite FR adventure is the "Doom of Daggerdale." My current campaign used it as a prequel to a heavily modified version of the Randal Morn trilogy. Doom gave them an excellent chance to get to know Daggerdale and become involved with the Riders before working on the mysteries surrounding the Sword of the Dales.
I've also used the old (1st edition) FR module "Ruins of Adventure" on a number of occassions. It's the pen & paper version of the old SSI gold box computer game. Not the best adventure ever written, but an excellent outline of the ruins of Phlan and a decent framework for a lot of material I wrote to suppliment both the CRPG and the module. |

personally, i prefer my own adventures, but i would like to play the City of Spider Queen. Unfortunately, i've already read it, so... it'd be stupide to play it now.
It's always the same thing, i'm sure that the others Dm understand me. Poor DM, comdamned to be DM or to play a unique adventure!

Well Strahd, youll be refering to the Randal Morn adventures:
The Sword of the Dales
The Secret of Spiderhaunt
The Return of Randal Morn
I quite enjoyed DMing those adventures. One of my favorites has to be "Beneath the Twisted Tower" from the FR Campaign Box (in the Shadowdale book)..... although I still have a lot of FR adventures which i have yet to DM or play.

Tiax spoiling yet another good post with his ramblings about dwarves. Which in turn makes me ramble on about Tiax. Please please please, we beg of you to shut up!
You are either:-
A) Obsessive, stupid or ignorant in such a manner that you cannot take a hint. Please stop now!!!

Ravenloft rocks. Dont get me wrong I am very open minded and I love the Forgotten Realms nearly as much as the mist filled land.
One of the best adventures I played was in the realms, and it was run the the scribe of this great site. It was one of the shadowdale ones, I am not sure exactly what the order of the games were (I am sure Rad could fill us in better), but it was a well written adventure. And besides it had Zhentarim in it, and I think they are cool!
