D&D 5E What kind of adventure would you like to run/play? (quick poll)

[Blue]

Most of these feel a bit cliche.

I picked the first as the least overdone. It's always apes in jungles, but at least it's not a standard European terrain.

The desert was the most interesting part, the cult is a standard trope.

Future-Tech-in-D&D has a long half-life, just a little bit of it is enough for a whole campaign. (Unless the whole campaign is about it.)

#3, though I would prefer it to be advanced magical rune tech, as opposed to giants with flying saucers.

#2 could be written to feel like Dark Sun or Ancient Egypt or Lawrence of Arabia.
For variety, perhaps Navaho / Pueblo peoples seeking -McGuffin- left behind in some Anasazi ruin?

A crystal skull?

A crystal skull?

No, but only because the only scene from that movie for which I can quote dialogue has Zambezi Falls in the background - not very desert-y.

 

[Zardnaar]

Already running a desert game Egypt themed.

 

[The Green Hermit]

I chose number 2, because I'm not interested in apes or technology. All three settings sound interesting, though.

 

[Legatus Legionis]

I've done #1 several times; although with not-intelligent apes (based it loosely on Michael Chrichton's 'Congo" novel). And with evil dwarves, a mad elephant-ish demi-god, prehistoric lizard archmages, dimensionally lost Romans, and other assorted oddities. I was always a sucker for 'lost city in the jungle' stories...

Combine 1 and 3. Giant ruins in a jungle.
