@SJohnRoss What I like about MERP adventures is that they describe a status quo and give hooks to get the players involved, but do not proscribe a certain way to resolve the conflict.
My favourite scenario is "Adventure at Minas Anghen" from "Haunted Ruins of the Dunlendings". It was the scenario we played the very first time I played an RPG, and I have run variants of it many times. Each time is different.
