[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9657207, member: 6787503"] I'm not sure why this question is being limited to 5E. It seems to imply the question's about a published "campaign" rendered in a specific system, but the campaign concept applies pretty much universally to all versions of D&D and its variants. Since I'm currently running a 5E game which would be my first choice, I'll start with that and then list my other choices in no particular order. 1. My current 5E campaign is still at first level. There are six PCs: four humans, an elf, and a tiefling. They're exploring a sprawling, underground dungeon where they heard rumors of treasure to be gained. Of course the rumors have also attracted other groups including halflings, orcs, and a rival party of adventurers and their hirelings. They've also encountered and fought several large spiders. This is the campaign I would most like to play, so we could make progress towards advancing the story and reaching higher levels of play. Once they leave the dungeon and head back to civilization, we'll start fleshing out the rest of the world. 2. More along the lines of what I think the OP is asking, a "Grand Campaign of Greyhawk" is something I've wanted to do for a long time. It would string together a lot of the classic published adventures starting with T1 and/or B1 and B2, and then moving on to the A series and the GDQ series. I'd cap it off with a final confrontation with the Elder Elemental God who would be the bad guy of the whole campaign. 3.
