What IYO was the last good published module for AD&D (or easily convertable to AD&D)?

Seriously, the last module I got that fits the bill is TEXTThe Eight KingsTEXT. The 4th part of Rob K's Zayene series.

If you're going by the CU versions, I think Garden of the Plantmaster was later than MoZ. I think it's probably the better module, too.
Dark Druids is good.
I have also heard good things about Kenzer & Co.'s Slaughterhouse Indigo, and Sir Robilar's City of Brass isn't bad.

Last one published by TSR? Possibly Dave Arneson's DA3 City of the Gods (1987). Possibly Rob Kuntz's parts of WG8 Fate of Istus (1989). Possibly Len Lakofka's L3 Deep Dwarven Delve (1999)--I hear the editors really messed it up, but it still looks pretty playable to me.
Otherwise, yeah, the CU version of Rob Kuntz's Garden of the Plantmaster (1987) would have to be it.
Chris Clark and Gary Gygax did some "generic modules" in a CU-ish style a few years back (2000?)--A Challenge of Arm's and Ritual of the Golden Eyes. I haven't gotten a hold of them yet. Supposedly they are preludes to a super dungeon called Castle Wolfmoon which will someday be printed. Regards.

Yeah... The Garden of the Plantmaster was quite good, dcs... and WG8 (for the Rob parts) was indeed the last T$R module I bought and liked (part of ^__^).

Castle Wolfmoon itself has not yet been published. It's been in development a long time and is rumored to be a real monster. I suspect it won't get published unless TLG steps in. Hekaforge isn't able really to handle the big adventures.
I have "A Challenge of Arms" but I've barely read it.

I don't know if it technically counts because 1) it's in a magazine, not a standalone module, and 2) it's an add-on to an existing older module (WG5), but RJK's "new" level of Maure Castle in Dungeon #114 -- The Statuary -- was really first-rate, the best 'new' module material I've seen in a long time, and more than made up for the lackluster 'revised and expanded' treatment the rest of the module received at the hands of Mona and co.

If you go with only TSR stuff (which would discount Rob's CU endeavors), and 2e stuff (which, FWIW,I don't really consider AD&D), I would probably go with WG6 Isle of the Ape as the last good AD&D adventure.
If you include generics, I'm with everyone else and would count Rob's CU efforts. If you include d20, I loved Maure Castle and Dark Druids. Dark Druids is among Rob's best modules to date, though if the Maure Castle levels continue to be as good as The Statuary then WG5/MC will likely remain my favorites of his works.
I'd LOVE to see what Len's cleaned-up version of Deep Dwarven Delve looked like, along with L4 and L5, and also the rest of Rob's unpublished levels....

My bad, I referred to the issue with Maure Castle as #114 above, pulling the number from my memory without double-checking. If Maure Castle was actually in #112 that's the one I mean (it's the only issue of Dungeon magazine I've ever bought). Rob hasn't (to my knowledge) had material in any of the susequent issues since that one, but there are persistent rumors that he might be doing more MC levels and/or other material for the magazine in the relatively near future... |

Yep, Rob's only published the one level, but he's definitely under contract for more, so we'll get to see additional levels as time passes!  Rob didn't have anything to do with the GH map being published in four parts in issues 118 - 121. |
