For me its a tough call between Carrion Crown, Reign of Winter, Wrath of the Righteous, and Iron Gods. I have run or played through the early modules in each and have not finished any of them.Carrion Crown is fantastic gothic horror, starting off with strong ghost story, Frankenstein, werewolf, zombie themes, then a Cthulhu one that looks like it would work or not depending on whether you have been integrating mythos stuff since the beginning. The first two in particular give some great investigation options that hit a gothic horror D&D bullseye for me. The last two as written are OK, the last one in particular losing a lot of gothic horror aspects for the Lich deadlands module climax, though with some good latent potential beneath for story stuff. There are really weak links from story to story particularly for the big bad of the whole thing unless you look on the paizo boards where there is excellent advice on tying them together from session 1.Reign of Winter is fantastic Dark Fairy Tale D&D with all sorts of room for Narnia White Witch, Baba Yaga, Changeling the Lost unseelie fey type stuff to riff off of. A consistently great first three modules, but my group TPKd in 3. 4 looked OK, maybe a Pern type takeoff thing, 5 looks amazing where you go to earth to assassinate Rasputin in World War I era Russia. The last one squanders a huge setting mystery plot element of former queen daughters fate into a generic monster fight in a room scene.Wrath of the Righteous I played through a bunch of modules and it was a ton of fun. Punching demons in the face and going mythic is the superheroist of high magic adventure paths. Was great through the parts I played through (1-4? out of 6) but no idea how much was the modules or the DM riffing, or whether it would stick the landing of the AP climax.Iron Gods I am running now in 5e, it is D&D in a setting with an ancient crashed Sci-Fi space ship and a Thundarr the Barbarian vibe. Mad Max Bartertown, an order of corrupt wizards monopolizing most tech recovery, wasteland mutants, there is plenty of gonzo D&D to dive into and love.I have also been tempted to run conversions of a number of Call of Cthulhu mega adventures in D&D for the long term plots ever since reading Michael Tresca's review of running <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/81957/Tatters-of-the-King?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Tatters of the King</a> for an Arcanis setting D&D game in 3e.</blockquote>
