Just my two cents about Fate fo Istus. This out-of-print adventure is truly one of the best TSR ever did, it can be used in a campain, or just separated modules (i holds 12 of them).

I played and DMed it in the past, and it was always great fun. I udes it often to introduce new players to AD&D , because its more an adventures that relies o thinking and smart actions rather than on rulings and dice throwing.... the 12 modules are all "targetting" a particular character class, so it is cool for big groups or lots of multiclassed... a small disadventage is that some of the stories assumes the -ppresence of "defunct" classes (i.e. assassin and barbarian..).

Here's the very hard to find supermodule that details the horrific upheavals that wracked Greyhawk during the decrees of the Goddess of Destiny, Istus! This 128-page adventure includes lots of exclusive maps and info that are invaluable for any Greyhawk campaign - including Rookroost, Rel Mord, Jurnre, Elredd, Wintershiven, Leukish, Rauxes, Chendi, Hesuel Ilshar, and for you T1-4 fans, Verbobonc itself! From the wastes of the Bandit Kingdoms to the shores of Nyr Dyv, the Kingdom of Furyondy to the heart of the Wild Coast, this adventure will test your heroes for months. Highly recommended.
