[QUOTE="l0lzero, post: 6897989, member: 6855137"] Not familiar with those adventures (not huge on the published adventures myself, just like the conceptually), but I don't see why you couldn't if you spent some effort looking at the timelines, and overlap of regions. If you go through the books, taking note of what takes place where, you could probably pretty easily construct a timeline letting the events unfold simultaneously (or sequentially, however you want to run it). Sequentially would let you better control what happens, but simultaneously would make for a more vivid and alive world where characters would have numerous choices to make as to what they want to do all the time. It seems to me like that'd be a super fun campaign to play in, and you could easily get a party to 20 with it just by having them do most of the content. Maybe the lost mines of phandelver have a hidden entrance to the underdark where some drow come in and capture the party, then they escape and make their way back to the surface after a bit of craziness, start having to deal with giants, before returning to the udnerdark to stop demogorgon. Dunno anything about ToD, so, I can't really add anything relevant to that. If you have a plan for the order, it would be rather easy to up the encounters in the other adventures by just looking at the monster CR calculator and then adjusting the monsters numbers accordingly so the content is viable at any level the party encounters it at, and it's not like you even have to up them all that much, you could just refluff a similar creature at a higher CR, and call it whatever it was supposed to be. It'd be funny seeing a party of 13th level characters captured by the drow, bust out, start casting their magic, and all of a sudden escaping slavery is trivial, but now the drow are also right about that level too, so suddenly the party thinks, "Oh, I'm just going to fly off..." and Ilvara is like, "Dispel magic, bruh" and they just kind of plummet.
