As it's Saturday night I thought I would pose a question which is : What is the FM's you always go back to even when you've compleated them? (even on expert being my case)
For me mine would have to be
The Rebellion Of The Builder (Gort) T2
The Mystery Man (Doaal) T1
Mansion Of Chaos (Sharga) T1
Rowena's Curse (The late great Lady Rowena) T2
The Trickster's Gem Mine series (Belboz) T2
Karras Diary (Thorin Oakenshield) T2
Elevator Mission (JIS) T2
and there is quite a few more I really enjoy playing again especially those Slacky Missions.

Above all, there are some of Sensut's creations,mainly the Bathory and Dracula campaigns (and sometimes the single missions which were later put into the campaign in modified form). These fit a certain mood perfectly. When I sit there in autumn and think of past times, it's a bit like Elizabeth Bathory telling Gellert of her human life long ago which made her what she is now.
Then, there are missions with certain environments - mostly snow and fog. That was the reason to play "Raid on Washout Central" again as well as "Kingsbridge", "The 7th Crystal", "Horns of Canzo", the "Sturmdrang Peak" campaign and a few others. Most likely, I'll also visit the swamp again in the recently released "Godbreaker". Also, missions with large places abandoned by mankind may attract me much and draw me into a certain mission repeatedly. The ruined hospital and especially the undead-infested graveyard in "T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age" have made me play the whole campaign again once or twice. "The Inverted Manse" and "Curse of the Ancients" are other examples of that.
"Rowena's Curse" was another favourite of the later part of the summer period in past years, although I skipped this one last year. The mansion with its gardens and hedges looks and feels like a mansion's garden should feel in the not-so-hot days of waning summer. However, the wish to replay Lady Rowena's other masterpiece, "The Seven Sisters", is slowly growing. One day I'll go after these witches once again, I'm sure. Too bad there will not be any missions by the Lady anymore.
There are other missions which I play again long after I played them the first time, such as Yandros' "The Mask of Agamemnon", which basically is a "Tomb Raider" level created by means of the Dark Engine. The "Ruins of Originia" campaign, "What Lies Below", "Willow Island" "Cult of the Resurrection" and "Autumn in Lampfire Hills" fall into that category, for example. A few months ago I started playing "The Order of the Vine" once again, and every now and then, I go a bit further there. Something similar has made me start "Mixed Messages" once again. In many of these cases, I can't say what makes me play that particular mission again. Sometimes, it's just a memory of a certain situation or place which I want to visit again.
And for a reason I don't know, I play Ricebug's "Strife" campaign about once a year. Maybe I'll turn that into some family tradition.:p The ways of the mansie fools are mysterious and difficult to understand...:cheeky:
I go for "A Brawl in the Tombs" every few years just to lure one group of enemies into battle with another ever and ever again. It's so satisfying to stand in a corner and watch the undead blow up in Hammerite crossfire, or the Hammers getting an undead version of a "righteous pounding" for once.:ebil:

The classic rooftopper/city exploration missions, from Trial by Night and Calendra's Cistern through uncadonego's Thieves Highway and Powers of Suggestion to odd gems like Augustine's Revenge and modern classics like Home Again, Shadow Politics or Endless Rain... and I think a few recent missions like Godbreaker's Mission 4 or Morbid Curiosity will also get on the list. I also replay other missions now and then, but what can I say, I like climbing. :D

I replay T2X now and again along with original games.
As for standalone FMs, I like to revisit Broken Triad (although I usually end up playing it over the course of several days due to it being huge!), Calendra's Cistern, and Saints and Thieves (this mission needs more love!)
I also play classic-style missions from time to time, mostly Disorientation, Endless Rain, and The Chalice of Souls.
CoSaS missions and, especially, Equilibrium have a very high replay value in my opinion.
Of the new missions, I am pretty sure that I'll be playing Behind Closed Doors and Godbreaker more than once.

I've played Rowena's Curse quite a few times. Same with Calendra's Legacy. But my most played would be A Thief's Holiday, which I play pretty much every December.
Renault on 23/2/2017 at 22:11
I probably play Broken Triad and The Inverted Manse once a year. And I always end up going back to missions by Melan, skacky, HipBreaker, nicked, and Haplo.

My biggest problem with replaying missions comes from the fact that I've tested so many of the missions over the past 8 or 9 years. That means I've played them at least a dozen times, and usually many dozens of times. It's hard to get the desire to play them again after that. So most of the ones I replay are from before 2008 or 2009. I like to replay Calendra's Cistern, but not Calendra's Legacy. Once was enough for me. I have revisited the Rocksburg series more than once. My favorites to replay are probably The Seven Sisters and Rowena's Curse. The only one I consistently replay is A Thief's Holiday, because that's become a yearly tradition. Other than those, I try to replay whatever I happen to be in the mood for at the time. I've probably replayed 75-80% of the missions up to 2009 or so at least once, and many of them more than once. There are some from recent years that I haven't replayed, but fully intend to, all of them missions I haven't tested.

I agree with Tannar, there are too many good missions out there, which I like to play frequently...... And the list is too long to post :)
Of course, all of Lady Rowena's missions (Rowena's Curse & Seven Sisters are a yearly thing)..... Can't wait until Drk has Rockborg out, as I got to perform an alpha test a few years ago on it. There have been many changes to it, and it will be worth it to add another chapter to that saga.. :) All of Sensuts missions (Dracula & Bathory campaigns), Saturnine's Rose Cottage and never forget the original mission from him. Inverted manse, Ruins of Origin, this list keeps going........ Black Frog, God Breaker......
