DotMM's dungeons are better-then-average, but for now they are the only ones produced for high level, so I use them a lot. On the contrary, if I need a low- or mid- level dungeon, I have plenty of choice and the PotA ones are left unused.

Warning: SPOILERS!! I'll defend my opinion about Descent into Avernus. About the epic scope, it's easy to see: you can interact with many VERY important, legendary NPCs and even Artifacts. You can change the destiny of two cities in the Prime, and even the destiny of the First Layer of Hell and...

My rankings: 1) Descent into Avernus 10/10 Fantastic planar adventure, with multiple paths, open-ended, epic in scope; the best planar adventure ever written 2) Tomb of Annihilation 10/10 Perfect sandbox in the jungle, with undead, dinosaurs, and very interesting and fun encounters. The time...

In my opinion, the meaning of the setting is really different. In Wildemount we have two empires at war. The first is humanocentric, traditional, lawful but narrow-minded, doesn't accept diversity, and thinks of other people as "evil" "monsters". Religion is used to enforce this traditional...

This. I bet on this: Lantan and Spelljammer

You are not the only one!

I went straight from 3.5 to Pathfinder, following Paizo and their APs. Never tried 4e when it was in print. Some years later, after 5e and becoming myself a collector, I acquired some 4e books. I tried to make a PC using the 4e guides found on the internet and I was overwhelmed by the sheer...

D&D 3e, 3.5, Pathfinder... What a great edition! The main problem, in my opinion, of both BECMI and AD&D2e was inconsistency. The lack of a coherent frame led to a proliferation of rules for particular cases. It was a mess, seriously. D&D3e solved the problem in a brilliant way. The d20 system...

Easter is a religious celebration for all Christians. Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, Who lived a Real Life some two thousand years ago, with His death and Resurrection, repaired the original sin of humanity and reopened the Doors of Heaven. He is truly risen, he really Is the Redeemer and...

I started with BECMI. The edition I played the most is AD&D2e. My favorite setting is Dark Sun, the original boxed set, for AD&D2e. My favorite adventures are Age of Worms and Savage Tide, for D&D 3.5, from Dungeon Magazine. But the best edition for me is D&D 5e. Given retrocompatibility, I can...

After BECMI, we switched to AD&D2e. We were in high school and this was our Golden Age. The settings were incredible, and the art that breathed life in our games was stellar. Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Dark Sun (really the best one), Planescape, Birthright. What a time! Just now, for...

Curse of Strahd, 4th session. 5 PCs: Human Paladin of Devotion, Half-Orc Rogue, Human Necromancer, Dwarf Cleric, Dragonborn Barbarian. They ended the last session in the Town of Vallaki. They had recovered the Tome of Ravenloft but could not read it. A disguised Rictavio tried to steal the book...

5e is, in my experience, the best edition for high level play.

The Eye of Traldar. Rahasia. Against the Cult of the Reptile god. Caverns of Thracia.

I started with the Mentzer Red Box. The system works, and it's very simple; the problem is the inconsistency of certain rules. Also, the system breaks after a certain point. I'll say that the published modules are a strong point in favor of this edition. The setting is also excellent (the...

The problem with multiclassing was that it contributed to make the game too complex to manage. The problem with multiclassing was not a problem of balance. Actually the base classes were VERY unbalanced in 3e. Wizards, Clerics, Druids ruled; a single-class Wizard was basically omnipotent at high...

Finally, in 5e we have the Paladin class that we wanted. In 2e and 3e this holy warrior was sub par. But now... Really High Nova DMG. (You can also keep Str at the initial 14-15 and take Gauntles of Ogre Power/Girdle of Giant Strenght ASAP) To strengthen your entire party: Auras. Aura of...
