[QUOTE="5Shilling, post: 6885345, member: 6849897"] I say do what you're doing - read blurbs, check reviews and talk to your group to see what type of thing they would like too. You're going to get a lot of very personal recommendations from here - so here's mine: I would not recommend Rise of Tiamat, as the first book (Horde of the Dragon Quen) is not very good.

I hear that Princes of the Apocalypse is good, but very dungeon-crawl based. I've also heard good things about Rage of Demons, if you like demons and the Underdark (me not so much). I found Primeval Thule to be a lot of fun and feels very fresh - but your players will need to really buy into the Conan style swords and sorcery. My favourite 5E product so far is Curse of Strahd.
