WoTC adventures and settings were never good compared to the better 3PP stuff, their monster books after the MM were mediocre, and Tasha's made clear they had completely lost their way re mechanics/crunch. Fizban's was so awful - and I paid full price for it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> - I've generally avoided WoTC stuff since, though I did pick up Tasha's when I saw it on Amazon for £13.Edit: For 3PP so far, hm, probably the 2015 5e version of the Primeval Thule Campaign Setting <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> - though I do like Odyssey of the Dragonlords a lot. Kobold Press's 12 Peculiar Towers is great. And of course my friend Kimberly Pauley's amazing<a href="https://thetalesweretrue.com/" target="_blank"> The Tales Were True</a> will be a new peak, whenever it comes out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I like my 5e Barrowmaze campaign a lot, but the 5e conversion is so weak it doesn't really feel any different from running a Labyrinth Lord or OSRIC adventure & converting on the fly.</blockquote>
