Over on Scroll of Initiatives, I’m joined by Keith Baker, MT Black, Matt Colville, Monte Cook, Luke Gygax, Robin D Laws, Mike Shea, B David Walters, and many others for From the Experts: The Greatest RPG Adventures of All Time.
Pop over there to read my thoughts on why Masks of Nyarlathotep is my favorite published adventure, and then check out all the other recommendations, too! There’s some all-time classics, and also some truly surprising entries. There are some I’ve never even heard of before, and you can be sure that I’m going to track them down ASAP!
Fascinating set of choices. A lot of old D&D stuff, which I guess shouldn’t be too surprising (nostalgia being what it is), but definitely some more recent products that I’m going to bump up the list.
As someone who has just started a *Masks of Nyarlathotep* game, I strongly agree with you: fantastic adventure (or, really, fantastic entire campaign). I’m also a huge fan of Traveller’s *Pirates of Drinax*, if you’ve ever read that one.
Just in time for Santa!
Jeez… what a team!
Thank you for sharing! Such awesome recommendations. I must say I’ve touched the Masks book before but the price tag was too hefty for me at the time. I may have to reconsider.
Ego Hunter sounds like a very intense and interesting adventure to run.
_Masks of Nyarlathotep_, which we played in Feng Shui (first edition), definitely stands out as a best of breed. We had no luck with the Africa sequence–it was a flop and would better have been left out–but the rest was an absolute blast.
Will not soon forget the doctor waking up in the middle of the night shrieking “Alveoli!” (She never did explain to the others, luckily for them.) The wheelchair-bound private eye leaning out the window and pegging flying horrors with his pistol while the driver zigged and zagged across the desert sands. And the proto-Deep One character telling the others that just because he was a Deep One didn’t mean he couldn’t be a free man, and swimming off down the Nile.
