No module is totally useless as long as it has ideas for a DM to use in it. The worst modules, then, would be the ones with the ideas that are hardest to reconcile with the known ideas of The World of Greyhawk. Of all the modules, Child's Play is hardest to make fit in this world. HOWEVER, Return to the Keep on the Borderlands would be a close second, and should have been on the survey.

Personally I cannot believe that WPM & EttBP even made it into this poll.

Different strokes..

Hi all-
I voted for Barrier Peaks. Let me explain. First, Doomgrinder, tAB, BP, WPM and such are Greyhawk Modules. Childsplay, while the absolute worst modules ever, is not Greyhawk. It, like RttKotB has a Greyhawk Adventurers logo. The idea behind the module is decent, but it does not fit in Greyhawk. Neither really takes place in any Greyhawk country. You can't even take away the country names and insert their politics into an existing country. Both Puppets and Gargoyle however do at least fit within Greyhawk. Puppets takes place near the Wild Coast and Dyvers. Gargoyles, is in Yeomanry. While Gargoyles has a Thives Guild that has a sign outside stating as much, it is still better than Barrier Peaks becasue Barrier Peaks does not fit in Greyhawk. Barrier Peaks is Greyhawk because it was written during the orignial Greyhawk era. This is bad becasue it brings in the use of laser firearms, robots and such. This is what makes it the worst module, something that due to that fact has not been repeated since (unlike all the other crappy or psudeo-Greyhakw modules produced).
Give me the adventures from the Oerth Journal over this crap anyday. The fans of Greyhawk want other fans of Greyhawk to trust their work and put forth more effort in maintaining continutiy than that of TSR/WotC ever will.

I think I can vote in this one, since I don't know all of the modules (not owning or having read/played Puppets, Gargoyle, or Child's Play)....

I don't own some of the modules (the dreaded triad Gargoyle-Child's Play-Puppets and WPM), but I'm surprised for the absence of the Crypt of Lyzandred the Mad in the poll...
