D&D 5E What is your Favorite non-WotC 5E Supplement or Adventure?

[Stormonu]

You prefer this to SotLW? Interesting.

Sorry, I've had the books forever, but just started getting interested in running/playing Eberron of late. I meant "Exploring Eberron", not the Wayfinder's guide.

 

[DarkCrisis]

Odyssey of the Dragonlords is bar none the best adventure I've ran and/or played in for 5E WotC should try to mimic this.

Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master from Mike Shea has been a literal game changer for me.

A better DMG than the official DMG.

I’m really enjoying DM-ing Scarlet Citadel from Kobold Press, though I admit to being a bit of a lover of old-style dungeons.

I've been thinking on this, as I dont have much 3PP stuff at all.

Best Psionics?
Best "DMG"?
Best Monster Book?
Best Warlord?
Best Adventure?
Best Crafting?
Best Magic Items?
Best Kingdom Building?
Best Subclasses Addition?

I dont know if those things all exist, or need to exist, but its something I've been thinking about looking up in more detail.

I have gotten the most use out of Kobold Press's first two 5e monster books Creature Codex and Tome of Beasts and they are some of my first go tos in my current online 5e Fantasy Grounds game which I have been running for the last three years.

They have interesting monsters with fun stat blocks that are generally more than bags of hit points or spell platforms and are easy to reskin. For instance I used a clockwork dragon as the stat block for an AI monster truck boss fight in my conversion of the Pathfinder Iron Gods spaceship crashed in D&D land adventure path.

They also manage that without being overly-designed or finicky, which for me is a problem with some alternate Monster book designs.

"Off the Beaten Path" series that I found on DrivethruRPG

Each PDF provides encounters based on terrain type. These can be a single large encounter (e.g. bandit ambush) or 1-2 page adventure (e.g. A cursed ghost town filled with undead). Great for developing random encounters that go beyond "2d6 goblins." Below is a link to the Desert Encounters, but they have ones for different terrain types (including urban)
