D&D General Are you content with what you have in DnD regarding physical/digital material?

I just recently started DMing d&d again, after a 20 year break. Started classic with FR chassis, homebrew campaign with a few stolen parts from adventures and campaign books from 2e, 3e and 5e. So I am in the market for inspirational stuff. Have 5.5 core books, want new physical books with maps, lore and story I can browse through. I want more monsters and NPCs you want to punch in the face. I want more annoying villians like Umbridge from Harry Potter, less of evil lich/demon/god/wizard/vampire no. 107.

Welcome to the forum!

I am with you on enjoying more grounded villains. Have you picked up Adventures in Faerun, the new Forgotten Realms adventure book? It has a ton of short (one session-ish) adventures that are really easy to fit into your own campaign, adjusting the encounter to suit your taste. One Shot Wonders also is great for having a bunch of easily adaptable encounters in each book. I use DnDBeyond and so purchased them there, but your FLGS should have at least the Faerun book, or be able to get it in.

Also, Morrus (the person who runs this site) has a new Kickstarter out that seems like it might fit your needs: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enworld/shortquests

If you back for the PDFs you should have them in about a month.

I want to be able to buy PDFs of Wizards Book releases.

Welcome to the forum. I agree that DnD needs more variety of villains.

I have the new Forgotten Realms Adventure book - the maps and the locations are great. At the moment I am running a Fey themed story arc in reworked Featherdale and Cormanthyr forest, until my players take an off-ramp. Do you know of any good Fey related books? My party has the option to enter into fey nobility politics because they reactivated some ancient elven and fey contract by accident. Flavour wise, I like my fey: folk lore medieval, feudal, dangerous, and weirdly rule abiding. Inspiration is Scandinavian folklore, Irish sidhe myth and Dresden Files atm.
