A module in Dungeons & Dragons is an adventure published by TSR, the term is usually applied to adventures published for all Dungeons & Dragons games before 3rd Edition. For 3rd Edition new publisher Wizards of the Coast uses the term Adventure. For a list of published 3rd Edition Adventures see List of Dungeons & Dragons adventures. For description and history of Adventures/Modules see Adventure (D&D).

List of modules

The modules listed here are in three separate lists of official TSR Dungeons & Dragons modules only. The coded modules (1992 - 1995) are listed by module code. Modules made after the code system was dropped (1993 - 2000) are displayed in alphabetical order. Note: There is considerable overlap caused by the transition period and early pre-advertising for some modules.

Coded modules (1978 - 1994)
