As nominated, and often described and/or justified, in this thread: D&D 5E - Nominate Today's Top Adventures for Use in 5E
It is now time to vote for the best adventures for use with 5E.

The poll will be open for 14 days and you get 3 votes.

Please remember:
Criteria:
Best adventure as written that can still be used with today's expectations. This does not mean that some DM additions or modifications can't be done, but extensive preparation should not be required.
The adventure does not need to be written for 5E. DM updating of NPCs, magic, and loot is fine.

What to Avoid:
Fond memories: this is not about the best adventures from our youth, but what adventures if you had never seen before and picked up today you would be thrilled with.
Not adventures that the DM turned into a great time, let's look at the best adventures As Written (not as a great DM ran them for you!)

Hussar

None of the above.

Although three down-votes for CoS for being the most overrated adventure that doesn't actually work.
Really? Wow. I would put this as probably the best module I've played in, like, ever. This was a fantastic adventure. I am always a bit sad that we never got to finish it - our DM ran into real life issues and the campaign fizzled. But, before that, one of the most interesting campaigns I've ever played in.

No rule is inviolate
I'm going with the ones I know, but really it's highly subjective. A good DM can take a weak adventure and turn it into quality entertainment. A good DM can take a great adventure and make it something classic.

The original ratings were largely based on novelty in design, whether it be introducing new map concepts or things like new monsters. While some of those adventures didn't age well, you can often see their influence in products decades later.

I'm the Straw Man in your argument
I love Nights Dark Terror. I've run this module twice and have used pieces of it many times. That being said, they needed an editor before they published it.

Age of Worms
The Enemy Within
Way of the Wicked

The three best adventures for 5e I’ve seen… ironically as none were written for 5e.

Age of Worms is the definitive classic adventure path that is one of the best examples I’ve seen of onion layers being peeled back. It can be adapted to any setting easily, features excellent villains and balances town, wilderness, city and dungeon adventuring.

The Enemy Within is a master class in mystery adventure writing and has more depth than the next 2 best adventures combined. Full of player choice and amazing scenarios.

The Way of the Wicked is refreshingly… well… evil. With chance to do something that most campaigns don’t - bring down a kingdom of pious zealots. Lots of fun.
