So I know we've done a thread like this before, but I'm always looking for stuff to help me in doing adventures, dungeons, encounters, etc.  Which of the new OSR modules are good in your opinions?

Anomalous Subsurface Environment, by Patrick Wetmore. This is a gonzo scifi-medfan mashup setting describing the world a bit, with a particular town in detail, as well as the first level and lairs pertaining to the mega-dungeon of the same name. This is good stuff for mega-dungeon oriented people, available in print from Lulu.

I'll second that suggestion. It's also got plenty of random tables!

I also like Matt Finch's Demonspore: Secret of the Shrooms, but I haven't finished reading it yet.

These two.

I enjoyed reading through Barrowmaze and am looking forward to Barrowmaze 2. It's undead heavy, has an oppressive creepy feel and presents an environment where the adventurers can never feel safe. I'll run it when we finish working our way through the Fight On mega-dungeon.

I have Anomalous Subsurface Environment and ran a session of it as a one off. It's good if you like gonzo, robots and satellite deities. It's over the top. Not sure if it's all that new though.

I've used ASE in my campaign and liked it quite a bit.

As a player I've enjoyed Matt Finch's adventures Tomb of the Iron God and Spire of Iron & Crystal. The first of these was run by a high-school student in the New York Red Box group, the second by Jim Raggi at Ropecon some years back; some elements in common (evocative detail, interesting three-dimensional aspects to the level design) likely come from the adventure and not its referees.

IMO, Blood Moon Rising by Pete Spahn. Great campaign starter, with a sand-boxy approach and a little bit of everything D&D module-wise, tied together quite plausibly.

Edit: Oh, and for a darker, more horror feel that can make the players nervous without screwing over their beloved characters, Inn of Lost Heroes can't be beat. Small disclaimer though, I made a simple map for that that one. I did it for free however so it's not like I'm gonna benefit really from recommending it

I think rather highly of the Haunted Keep (the expansion of the sample dungeon presented in Moldvay Basic by Dragonsfoot forum members).

Lesserton and Mor. It's the OSR equivalent of the Pavis & Big Rubble campaign set with tools and charts for a 'ruin crawl' type sandbox.

Even if a rubble crawl campaign doesn't float your boat, there's some good stuff there to scavenge.

Mr. Spahn's Pyramid of the Dragon is also worth mentioning. I liked it even better than Blood Moon Rising, which is, indeed, a fine module.

These are all good suggestions; now, what might be helpful is if some of these were "compared" to similar well-known old modules (as in "X has similarities to Tomb of Horrors"), or failing that explaining in what way they are not like any older modules.

Not new, but Michael Curtis' Fane of St. Toad is free and is a great creepy and grotesque weird sword & sorcery jaunt.

It a small-medium sized self contained dungeon with a "boss" monster and um, cool traditional dungeon stuff I guess?

I have used that one as a temple dedicated to Tsathoggus... but forgot one of the PCs in the party was a frog-worshipper. Oops. No looting was involved after that came out, but they held a somewhat friendly chat with a mummy-priest.

Awesome!

Expeditious Retreat publishes some of my favorite new adventures for AD&D1, using the OSRIC route.  The two new modules Down the Shadowvein and The Mouth of the Shadowvein by Joseph Browning are quite excellent.  They take up where The Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom left off, making for a three part campaign that players will feel is similar in concept to the D series by Gary, but they will seem fresh with completely different scenarios. I also enjoyed The Riddle of Anadi by James C. Boney, also from Expeditious Retreat.  They are all in the Gygax style, being rather compartmentalized.  As long as one is used to pulling complex adventures out of that style, they are great.

The People of the Pit by Alphonso Warden from Brave Halfling is an excellent one for AD&D1, also using the OSRIC route. It is based upon the works of A. Merritt.  It's a very cool one, though less new.  Recently, Goodman released one of the same title for their new D&D based game, but it is not the same adventure at all.  They only share the same name.  I have not read or played the Goodman one yet.
 
In my campaigns these would be played under one of the actual older editions, usually OD&D/AD&D1, rather than OSRIC or some such.  However, it is good to have new adventures that are written specifically with one of the old editions in mind, especially the handy OSRIC content.

Has anyone had the chance to read or play these new ones?
