D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

[Sausages]

I reject the premise. A D&D TV should be mid level characters pulling dungeon heists and getting into classic scrapes.

NOT a campaign.

It’s an issue with so-called prestige TV to drag out one story over a whole season, or sometimes multiple seasons. The pacing is often so slow. or, if the story is told over one episode, the next episode has to have new characters and a different premise. I miss the days of having regular characters and a new story each week.

Definitely Murder in Baldur's Gate...

If GoT taught us anything it is: dragons sell. Go with the “Rise of Tiamat.”

I don’t think it’s the Dragons to thank for GoT popularity. More to do with Martin’s writing and the execution (both of which dropped off the later seasons which are mixed at best in reception)

Doesn’t the OP say and campaign for any edition? So please nominate a Paizo adventure!

PF and Golarion are not D&D or owned by WotC. So I assumed out of bounds for this. Though I think the PF iconic sand basis of Pathfinder Society would make fertile ground got a series.

Planescape: Dead Gods. I would love to see Sigil and the planes on the screen.

I think both Saltmarsh and Enemy Within would be great choices.
Personally, I'd go for;
Series 1; Against the Giants
Series 2 (hopefully, and with a bigger budget following success of season 1!): D1-3

The G series would involve three very different scenic environments, with hints of a deeper plot, and the environments in the D series would make fantastic TV.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage would fit very well for a TV format, IMO. It highlights a boatload of different monsters, doesn’t jump around different locations since it’s all in a dungeon, and yet that dungeon has tons of variety. Each level carries with it its own story making it very episodic in nature with Halaster and his apprentices as overarching baddies to carry through the series. I think it’d work well. You even have stuff like Delicious in Dungeon as a kind of roadmap for how a series like that could work, even if that was anime.
