[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6885473, member: 6775477"] I have only ran LMoP, but I strongly encourage you to start here. It's actually a really good adventure, and can be used as a springboard into either your own campaign or one of the other published adventures. I have heard (at best) mediocre things about Tyranny of Dragons. I read the first chapter and quickly decided against it. From what I understand, it takes a lot of existing Realms knowledge to make it worthwhile. I know several DMs that have run at least part of Princes of the Apocalypse, and they've all praised it. When I looked it over, I saw a few flaws in the way I run games (players are supposed to clear out part of dungeons, then return later to clear out the rest... without the lower level enemies apparently aware of the destruction of the upper levels...). Might need a bit of DM modifications to suit your tastes. I'm currently in an Out of the Abyss game, and I can't say much about it. It seems too railroady, and our actions seem to have little impact on the events (other than our own survival). I only know 1 DM who has Curse of Strahd. It's more sand-boxy than previous adventures (which is good IMO), but it also only goes to level 10. Whatever you choose, best of luck to you (and welcome back to the DM club :) ) [/QUOTE]
