When I’m talking about D&D modules, they are the adventures that when added together, make up campaigns. They are not settings and they are not campaigns. They don’t have to be added together, but I like to do that.

In the original AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide, Gary Gygax wrote a brilliant Appendix (N), which was a list of all the inspirational fantasy and science-fiction reading for aspiring Dungeon Masters.  I’ve compiled my own list…
