I don't want to lose track of this thread

Ok, 6 adventures that haven't been in any other 5e adventures so far. Also assuming that big multi-part adventures probably wouldn't be used, as they would make good fodder for future entire adventure books or take place in areas WotC doesn't currently seem to want to develop (Slave Lords, Shadowdale/Cormyr, Sword of Dales, etc)

Village of Hommlet (OR! Keep on the Borderlands)
Dwellers of Forbidden City
Shattered Statue (to honor Jennell J)
Tsojcanth
Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun
Barrier Peaks

Too many Greyhawk adventures, this invovles the infinate stair case so likely will visit multiple settings, given the staircase moves folks between planes and worlds.

The D&D One moniker also feels completely obsolete.

Funny we're discussing this in the One D&D (5.5E) subforum - which contains only labels that never ended up being used by WotC...

More accurate would be to have the 2014 and 2024 subforums, but of course this subforum will eventually be merged back into the main D&D forum once the edition hoopla settles down.

I don't care about what calls, I not typing in 5e 2024 every time. I'm going with 1D&D, you folks know what I mean, and One D&D is what they called it at first so its completely reasonable to call it that to avoid confusion, and keeping it effient.

Assuming players play the big archmages just to have them die off in the opening scene again (this was the set-up in Vecna Lives), this will have been the schtick in 50% of all published Vecna books.

Now, if WotC wanted to be really brave, they'd let groups play (and kill off) the Circle of Eight.
