[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 8791474, member: 99786"] From what I have run and played: [LIST=1] [*]Lost Mines - good first adventure, have run twice, both times with new to D&D players. Both times to great success [*]Tomb of A - played, enjoyed the heck out of it. As someone upthread said - Tomb of 9 Gods is one of the greatest dungeons. Notwithstanding I had 2 characters die, still a great adventure. [*]Out of Abyss - the kickoff, the frame, the Underdark setting, Menzoborranzen, Blingdenstone - all great [*]Icewind Dale - solid stuff. Player decisions impact the storyline. Final setting of the city was super cool. Ended abruptly I thought. [*]Dragon Queen - am only 3rd level in this campaign, which my DM has apparently heavily modified. I'm liking what he's done with it so far. [*]Witchlight (currently playing, and I"ve missed at least 50% of sessions). Pretty good. We're still only 3rd level, so a long way to go. [*]Yawning Portal - have played Hidden Shrine, just wrapped up White Plume Mtn (ran it once in AD&D waaay back in the day). Solid games.
