D&D 5E (2014) Poll: Which Official Adventures Have You Run or Played in To Completion?

[pukunui]

I don't own it so.i assumed it was a setting book with one adventure in it, like Eberron.

Nope. The adventure covers levels 1–10.

 

[jdrakeh]

Curse of Strahd (as DM), Lost Mines, Curse of Strahd (as player), and Dragon of Icespire Peak. In that order.

I liked the 2 starter sets and are about to start the Stormwreck one. We completed PotA and half of Yawning Portal before levels got too high.

I ran Mines to completion, it was much enjoyed (also the only one I marked).

I've run Ghosts until the end of the old U3 part, and we wrapped the campaign up there.

I was in a Tomb game and we got deep into the last part but we've hung that game up (good riddance). I've been perusing the book and I'd like to DM it, properly this time.

Several others I've run or been in portions of, but nowhere complete. Characters are powerful in 5E, but deaths and TPKs still happen, which accounts for not completing at least three of the adventure paths.

I'm on my third attempt to get a group through Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, which has become the Moby Dick of 5E for me.

Interesting 4x the number of people finished Princes of Apoc compared to Out of the Abyss! We found OotA quite good, at least from a player perspective. And I have heard PoA is sort of... bad?

In my game, we've gotten as far as Vanrakdoom (floor 18) so far, and the PCs just hit 16th level. The drow on the 3rd floor TPKed the first party, but the players wanted to continue. I've been running it as a basic "beer and pretzels" game. The lack of a plot is a feature for us rather than a bug. We needed a break during covid from the more story-heavy campaigns I'd been running previously. My players are also keen to make it to 20th level at least once, and this seems like the easiest way to do that, so I think we'll stick with it till the end.

I ran several of them to competition as the guy running my FLGS' Organized Play system for ten years. My favorite is also my most-modded -- I ran a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign where I moved it to 1659 Port Royal, Jamaica. It was fantastic, the scenarios fit very well. I did add in a few scenarios to pad out the Salvage Operation chapter, since it doesn't give enough experience, but that worked, too, since I got to add a few Freeport scenarios.

Odd to include compilation books in the list, since these are not single stories with a beginning, middle and end, and therefor have no "completion".
