D&D 5E What Are Your Favorite Short Adventures and Collections for 5e?

[SlyFlourish]

In response to the thread on Matt Coleville's take on large published campaign adventures I found myself wishing he had instead focused on some of the more recent and excellent short adventures written by dozens of 5e publishers.

What are your favorite short adventures, publishers of short adventures, and collections of short adventures for 5e?

I'll offer a few of mine:

• Arcane Library
• Kobold Press's various Lairs books
• Jeff Steven's 5e Adventures
• Raging Swan's 5e adventures
• MT Black's Adventures

IMO, Ghosts of Saltmarsh remains the absolute best adventure material released by WotC for 5E. It creates a fun, engaging setting with a great diversity in adventures that lends itself both to episodic play and a total campaign. Its a shame that it is the only book managed Kate Welch, as she revealed she has a high level of acumen for bring projects like this together and highlighting their best parts.

I've had a blast with Arcane Library's scenarios; they're so intricately crafted and immersive. Also, Jeff Steven's adventures never fail to keep my party on their toes with unexpected twists. If you're looking for quick but memorable sessions, these are golden picks! What I love about short adventures is their versatility; they fit snugly into busy schedules and can be great for introducing new players to the game.

I've recently gotten use out of MCDM's book of lairs from "Flee, Mortals!" ... "Where Evil Lives".
Also, "Fantastic Lairs" by Sly Flourish has been helpful. (I'm guessing you've already heard of that one.)

The Forest of Lost Children is a good, dark, fairy tale adventure.

Another shout out for Ghosts of Saltmarsh; it was very easy for me to insert several of the provided scenarios into an existing island-themed campaign.

Not 5e specific, since it's made for any system, but Trilemma Adventures is great.

You beat me to it! They're not exactly adventures, they're adventure locations.. which is just PERFECT for me. Actually some of them have adventures, or adventure hooks
I love Michael Prescott's stuff so much.

Do you have any favorite Quest of Doom adventures? I have many from kickstarters but haven't them thoroughly.
