Has WotC saturated the published adventure market or are the two latest adventures not very popular?

[QUOTE="Mepher, post: 7528659, member: 61277"] I have come to the hard realization that published hardcover adventures are just not for me. I own PoTA, COS, SKT, OOTA, DH, and DOMM. I have never run any of them until Dragon Heist because I just didn't like the scale of them and the amount of work needed to run them well. I don't see any of them as adventures to just pickup and run as written. I like the stories of them all and in the future hope to mine parts of them to use, but I doubt I will every run any of them as is. I am wrapping up Dragon Heist here in a couple sessions. I ended up adding 2 DMs guild adventures to my Waterdeep campaign as well as made all of their faction quests into smaller encounters instead of skill checks and full "heists" to get each of the 3 vault keys. Before running Waterdeep I had preordered DOMM and now that I am wrapping up DH I really don't think I will be running DOMM as a mega dungeon. Instead it will be a bunch of forays into Undermountain to retrieve items or complete quests. Harpers need help retrieving this macguffin or Emerald Enclave needs help rescuing a member stuck on level x. I am pretty sure that I am don't collecting adventure books. On top of that I am struggling with all of the "source" books that they keep putting out. I have them all and I find most of them fairly worthless. I didn't find much use for SCAG, rarely open Volos. I just bought MToF and haven't even looked at the book yet. The only one I have actually used so far has been XGtE. That is $200 of books at retail that I find little use for. The player options they add to the books are generally available through Unearthed Arcana. The monsters I enjoy but I hate that they sprinkle player and DM materials through all of those books forcing me to buy them all if I want it. I am getting fatigued. I love to collect books but unlike my 1E and 2E collections, I am not finding much use for many of the 5E ones I have bought. [/QUOTE]
