Hi Mike, What is your favorite 1st edition adventure? What’s the biggest difference between 1st edition and 5th edition adventures?
Thanks for taking the time and congrats on the success of 5th edition!

1st edition adventures rely a lot more on player ingenuity. Without rules for searching and such, they usually relied on players to puzzle out how to find a hidden treasure. You might need to specifically say you were looking under a rock or pushing a set of buttons in the right sequence.
Favorite 1e adventure would probably be Steading of the Hill Giant chieftain. Have run it multiple times, it does a good job of giving players lots of problems to solve and no one, clear right answer. Comment
