D&D 5E To much 5th edition content?

Out of the Abyss and Avernus are both this.

I've run OotA and it didn't scratch that itch for me. Avernus seems like it would have a similar vibe.

I guess it depends on just how fantastical a setting you want.

I remember an interview with an author long ago about whether they played or DMed any more (it was obvious from their novels that they used to play). Their response was that couldn't DM any more because the players never did what they wanted.

It seems the reverse is more common: The Expanse books came out of home-brewed space RPG created by one of the authors I believe. And the Raymond Feist Midkemia books were inspired by their D&D adventures.

We are the complete opposite! We have played every hardback AP, the Starter set, Essentials, lots of the AL stuff and loads Guild Adept and 3rd party stuff and have completely run out of content! Having to convert Night Below at the moment whole we wait for September. There's no shortage of releases at the moment if you setting source books etc but we are severely lacking adventure material! (Few levels in the back of Wildemount and Theros etc but I mean APs)

Lacking in adventure output? The last time there was this much first party adventure material D&D was owned by TSR. Third and fourth didn't have nearly this many sizable first party adventures.

I mean, by any relative measure the adventure output this cycle is far greater than in the last 25-ish years.

I never use published adventures, so I can never run out of content on that end.

This level of achievement never ceases to amaze me. I have more adventures than I'll ever get to run, I feel.

Every group has a different play style. I know a guy in one group who had a non-combat six-hour Avernus session last week. Whatever is fun for people.

Ideally, WotC would release more material I do want and less material that I don't want.

Yeah, I keep telling them to make just the content I want, but somehow they never listen to me. What a shame!

That is not true for 3rd edition at least. In addition to 30 official adventures of varying lengths, there was Dungeon Magazine and tons of free adventures on the Wizards website. Even including the AL adventures 5E falls well behind 3E in this regard.

If you're including Dungeon magazine, sure. Though I was more specifically talking about sizable hardback/ box set releases. I know 3E had quite a few smaller saddle stapled releases as well.
