This article refers to the STAP preview and therefore is full of SPOILERS. Consider yourself warned...
It seems to me that Savage Tide is already nostalgia heavy.
X1 Isle of Dread, of course (adventure four through seven)
C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (adventure three)
Could you crank up that further?
In adventure one, you attract the attention of Lavinia Vanderboren after unraveling the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (U1).
In chapter eight, before you can power the gate engine (in adventure eight) and travel to the Abyss, you must retrieve a critical missing component aboard a crashed transdimensial starship long ago buried in the Barrier Peaks (S3).
In chapter eleven, Iggwilv will help only if you rescue her sleeping daughter, Drelnza, from imprisonment in the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (S4).
The City of Broken Idols (Adventure 7) seems a natural marriage with the yuan-ti infested Forbidden City (I1).
To safely traverse the Wells of Darkness (adventure 9) you must learn secrets long ago recorded in that damned volume of forbidden lore "Lament for Lost Tharizdun". The only surviving copy lies in the dark cyst beneath the Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (WG4). But beware the tome was written for only purpose -- to free He of Eternal Darkness...
And to recover the Iron Flask of Tuerny the Merciless you will find it along side the skull of the demilich Acererak in the Tomb of Horrors (S1).
Any I missed?
