edit note:
There was a big post about my line of work and how it pertains to this situation, but it's probably best not to advertise.
I'd delete the post but don't think I can.
So, here, have a nice meme:

I voted an 8.
But holy cow, did I love it. Seeing some of the locations and ideas I've loved my entire life actually materialized on film made me almost tear up.
Obviously, Chronicles was my intro into D&D and is very special to me for that reason.
I also liked many of the Eberron novel series, particularly the Thorn of Breland series and The Blade of Flame series.
Some of my best plot advances have come about from pointless encounters.
For example, my group is currently playing a hexcrawl. When they entered a hex, I rolled a random encounter; in this case it was a corpse hanging from the inside of a cabin out in the woods (I am using a random encounter...
If you can make $20 per player per session at 4 hours each with 5 players each game that's $100.00 per session.

The First Four are pretty easy:
Lore Bard.
Twilight Cleric.
Totem Barbarian.
Divination Wizard.
The 5th Spot is hardest. I could see any of the Wildfire Druid, Battlemaster Fighter, Hexblade, or Watcher Paladin making a good fifth.
I checked the Homebrew, Eberron, and Dark Sun options. My Homebrewed world that I used for 20 years was based off Dragonlance, FR, and incorporated some Eberron when it came out.
My new Homebrew is based off Dark Sun, late Bronze Age-early Iron Age historical civilizations, and...
No Warlord yet, which is my favorite class.
I went with Barbarian, Bard, and Rogue. The third one could easily be any of the Rogue/Cleric/Wizard/Fighter given how I am feeling that day.
Human, Half-Elf, Halfling for me.
If you asked my wife, she'd say the Cat People (Tabaxi), the Bunny People (Harengon), and the Dragon People (Dragonborn).
