YOU CAN KEEP YOUR BORDERLANDS: Adventure Suggestions for Those New to the OSR

While many assume the OSR is dead, you would not know it from the discussion on Bluesky generated by Yochai’s OSR starter packs feeding into the OSR Feed. Among the discourses that have cropped up in recent weeks, one was very useful in triggering responses that act as a measure for the current state of the non-AD&D focused, BX-leaning, and OD&D-inquisitive post-OSR (?) portion of the OSR. That question was: What’s a good starting module for players new to OSR play (and I don’t like Keep on the Borderlands)?

What followed were several suggestions. Given that social media is ephemeral, I wanted to solidify this list in the petrifying gaze of a blog for ease of reference and sharing. This would also constitute a Christmas post as it's a list of things you can buy in the month of December. [edit] I've expanded the list to a even 20 so if you can't decide what to run/buy just roll a 1d20 and consult the table below:
