To be fair, I haven't given that one a serious read but what I did see didn't impress me. I like the writers behind this new one, so I'm looking forward to it.
We focused only on the areas that were pertinent to the adventure as a whole (which itself doesn't take place entirely in the dungeons).

 Return To The Barrier Peaks: The Campaign   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Twenty years ago a group of adventurers took up the challenge by the Grand Duke Of Geoff and other local groups to undertake an Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and uncover the source of the terrible monsters that were raiding and destroying the formerly warring baronies in the foothills.
In the mean time, the adventurers fell victim to the strange radiations of the space craft and within ten years nearly all sickened and died.
Fearing the worst, that strange radiations from the space ship had killed the expedition members and affected their offspring, they sought them out to give them aid, and perhaps to recruit them to return to the ship and find what dangers may yet lurk.

 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Tues Oct 8th, 9pm Eastern - www.ezboard.com
And, as such, I have decided to hold an Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
Anyway, as people have asked me how they can RP better, I was thinking that the Expedition wouldn't be hunting, so much as it would be OJT for people to get ideas on how to role play, things to do to flesh out characters, how to "get into the zone" and that sort of thing.
I would enjoy joining your expedition and learning a bit of how you manage to make Norrath come to life so well in your stories, as well as how you manage to fit it inbetween the nonstop battles.

Adventure Peaks has been successful on every previous Cho Oyu expedition In 2006 we put ten people on the summit.
However, Cho Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world and, even though it is regarded as a technically straight forward 8000m peak, its altitude is a serious undertaking and requires careful preparation and a high level of fitness.
There is one steep serac barrier to negotiate at 6800m,where necessary, fixed lines will be placed to aid us on steeper sections.

 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks: Logbook date 2 - www.ezboard.com
I can't really post this on Sat/Sun, as most of the Sats are taken up by events already (at least according to the calendar), and I don't really want to compete for people.
As such, I was thinking that we could continue with the first Expeditions lesson (which we did get sidetracked from) and also start with lesson two, that of how to describe things.
Now, that's not to say we won't adventure or hunt at all; you do need some practice with all the new skills, but for now, in order to include as many people who want to participate, the Expedition is more just an elective class.

Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (Advanced Dungeons and Dragons module S3)
I didn't really like this one, I am a bit conservative with my campaign, and couldn't really take it seriously; Sci-fi is great, but not (for me) incorporated into a fantasy setting.
There is enough fighting for the hack and slash players but it is overall a thinking game.

S1-4 "Realm of Horrors", which contains some nice ones like "White Plume Mountain" and "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" to name 2 of 4 (of which I am personally familiar with) although I am positive that the other two will provide excellent reading as well.
I also scored a copy of "The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun", a nice old one that I've never read, but is probably quite good along with FRC2 "Curse of the Azure Bonds" which is in an entirely different campaign world.

 Re: barrier peaks
In a message dated 97-08-03 10:19:57 EDT, you write: << I remember an old module called expedition to the Barrier Peaks where the PCs find a crashed spaceship and fight robots and get laser weapons.
I was wondering if anybody has ever thought about how this ultra-techy module could have remotely fitted in with Spelljammer and how anybody would do it.
I hope the same reasoning will be used for the new Tales of the Comet box set.

I've been reading Expedition to Castle Greyhawk and I think its one of the best things Wizards of the Coast has put out in a long time, but maybe that's just because of the involvement of the fine authors associated with it.

If you could come up with one module that we could all agree that we loved, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks would probably be at the top.
We weren't even thinking about doing that as a 30th Anniversary thing, we just thought it would be fun to revisit the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, but it just didn't work out.

It's virtually certain at this point that there will be an Expedition to Castle Greyhawk (they showed the cover at Gen Con, and I can't think of another Expedition module that would have a picture of Castle Greyhawk on the cover except maybe Expedition to Mordenkainen's new house which is right next to Castle Greyhawk).
Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk is a 224-page DandD super-adventure that revisits Castle Greyhawk and the classic dungeon beneath.
