For 3.0 (no 3.5): Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is excellent I personally like splatbooks such as the Book of Vile Darkness, Deities and Demigods, and Epic Level Handbook, but some don't like them I also suggest Crucible of Freya, Tomb of Abysthor and the first version (in three booklets)...

Actually, I love high level play, and I can say that 5e is easier then all previous editions at high level. My favourite campaigns ever are Age of Worms and Savage Tide (D&D3.5), both ending at Lvl 21-23. Or you could try Rappan Athuk, Sword of Air or City of Brass, all from Frog god Games...

I like very high stats! When I DM 5e/3.0/3.5/Pathfinder, I give the PCs 18, 14, 14, 10, 10, 10 to arrange as they like. When I DM BECMI/AD&D1e/2e, I use this method: roll 3d6 and change the lowest die to 6, six times, then arrange as desired. When I DM Dark Sun in AD&D2e, I use the last...

1) Tomb of Annihilation 2) Curse of Strahd 3) Descent into Avernus Runner up: 4) Rime of the Frostmaiden

In my opinion BECMI, AD&D1e, AD&D2e, D&D3.5 had an higher number of 10/10 products

Nostalgia can obscure judgement, but not necessarily

Hi there! We're at the end of the first 5e cycle (2014-2023) and before the 2024 rulebooks are published, we can reflect on various aspects in the history of the edition. In retrospect, I still believe that the 5e ruleset is the best ever produced, but I'm really disappointed at the overall...

I suggested some modules with memorable, epic dragon encounters. On the contrary, there are some modules centered on a Dragon villain that are average at best. For example, IMO, Dragon Mountain and all the adventures about Flame. Or even Tyranny of Dragons.

Into the Wormcrawl Fissure for Dragotha Hall of the Fire Giant King for Brazzemal the Burning Kings of the Rift for Brazzemal the Burning & others Rime of the Frostmaiden for Arveiaturace Sabre River for Incendiarous Die Vecna Die! for Rhule Test of the Warlords for Old Smokynose Tomb of the...

Rappan Athuk is one of my two favourite Megadungeons, the other being Eyes of the Stone Thief. (I usually do NOT like Megadungeons) I love these two because of 1) the brilliant set pieces and 2) a clear overarching story (in RA's case, to kill Orcus). Indeed RA truly has a first-edition feeling...

Don't retroclone; get the books on eBay or get the pdfs. Personally, these days, when I want to use an adventure from past editions, I use the ruleset it was written for. For example, I use D&D3.0 when I want to play the Ashardalon modules (The Sunless Citadel etc) or the original Rappan Athuk...

Shackled City. Some interesting ideas and set pieces, but overall cumbersome. It's for 6 players. Age of Worms. My favourite. Really epic in scope, with many, many memorable characters and situations. A love letter to D&D tradition. Deadly. You have to experience this. Savage Tide. Pirates +...

Against the Cult of the Reptile God. Runner up: The Whispering Cairn.

As a Setting, the original Tal'Dorei. As an Adventure, City of Brass 5e by Frog God Games.

Journeys through the radiant citadel

4 20th Level PCs can easily take down an Ancient Red with Lair Actions, and you have 5 of them; giving the Dragon spellcasting isn't enough. I suggest using 2 Ancients; or maybe an Ancient with multiple and powerful allies of very high CR (Archmages, Liches etc)

Hi! My favourite levels to play are 9-13 (in all editions except BECMI: Lvl 15-18), when the players are really powerful but the game doesn't fall apart. Yet. There is a ton of great adventures you can try. Return to the Tomb of Horrors. Die Vecna Die! The City of Skulls. Have fun!

Lol ALL OF THEM!! Seriously, 5e is truly retrocompatible, so I can use most of my old material with 5e rules. But I am at a point in which I enjoy experimenting, using adventures of a given edition with a ruleset from another edition (for example, running 3.5 Age of Worms with AD&D2e Dark Sun...

Settings done well (in particular, when I want to play in Dark Sun, I have to use AD&D2e rules) Psionics Variety in classes, spells, items and monsters That said, I choose what rule system to use case-by-case

In my opinion, at the beginning! PHB, MM, DMG, original Starter Set, are all 10/10 products. Then, the only products that reached such quality are Curse of Strahd and Tomb of Annihilation. So the edition is, in hindsight, a bit of a disappointment. But still, the rule system is so good that it...
