[QUOTE="SuperTD, post: 7196311, member: 6776899"] Really depends what type of game you're looking for. Do you want a linear, more plot driven adventure? Hoard of the dragon Queen/Rise of Tiamat. If you still want a plot but a more sand-boxy, I'd recommend Out of the Abyss of Storm King's Thunder. If you want something sand-boxy and more just about exploring a small region and clearing dungeons, Princes of the Apocalypse and Curse of Strahd fit the bill. Finally, if you want a set of small unconnected adventures that you can drop in and run, Tale from the Yawning portal is the only official hardback offering. In a month Tomb of annihilation will be dropping, which seems like it's going to be an exploration based sandbox like Curse of Strahd (although a different theme) or, from what I've heard, Isle of Dread. Personally I've only ran Princes of the Apocalypse. It's good if you just want to explore reasonably cool dungeons, but has very little story to it. I ended up ripping the meager plot it had out and replacing it. I've read all the adventures though, and I'd say Curse of Strahd looks like a very fun one to explore, and Out of the Abyss seems much better than the Tyranny of Dragons books if you want more of a story.
