D&D 5E Recommended one-shot adventure as an anniversary game?

[Duo Maxwell]

My friends and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary as a D&D group next year. We've played every edition (except 1st) and we're really enjoying 5e. Even though we're currently running Waterdeep: Dragon Heist right now, we're getting really close to the end. What would you recommend as a one-shot (preferably 1st-level) adventure to celebrate a quarter century of playing as a group? I have the Starter Set already, along with Tales of the Yawning Portal and we've run most of those early adventures when they were originally released. Perhaps something you'd recommend from the DM's Guild?

If you are up for a little updating I would recommend. Doom of Daggerdale (AD&D) - great little adventure about people in a town that are falling into sleep they can’t wake from.

It has nostalgia feel but has enough going on that is plays more modern.

I'll definitely read up on it. Converting monsters and NPCs should be easy if there's already an existing entry in the 5e Monster Manual.

Do you remember your first adventure? Maybe rerun that with new characters and in 5E.

B2. Need I say more?

Dragon of Ice Spire Peak how about that.

Dumb idea perhaps but here goes:

The week before you want to in fact run this game, call off your usual session and have everyone go to the pub instead - tell them the pub night itself is the 25th-anniversary celebration.

Take pens and paper with you. Once everyone's there, start talking at some point about what would be the greatest dungeon ever, and get people to throw in ideas. (at this stage, the drunker the people are, the better!)

At the end of the evening, scoop up the papers and take them home. During the week, try to make some sense of it all.

Then for the actual anniversary session the following week, run whatever they designed.

There is a good write up on it for Drive Thru and it’s $5. Adventure was written by Wolfgang Baur. It was the last TSR module to be be a code. Also the first module for the new campaign setting.

It has a good combination of dungeons, town interactions, good NPCs. If you enjoyed it, you could also follow up with the Sword of the Dales Trilogy that is located in the same town.

Converting stat blocks will be easy, there is one creature which will need a tinkering but very doable.

Lost mine of phandelver is good for new players and is relativly short but for just one session i would t know any

Maybe some sort of greatest hits dungeon? Take your best moments, biggest fights, etc. and put them into a dungeon that lets the players relive them all.
