I would like to run one of the campaigns up to 5e and can't decide which one. I know most of the ones released by the end of 2019 and I'm not thrilled. I've tentatively chosen 3. One from earlier and 2 from recent years that I'm not familiar with. Please help me with my choice.
Some background information on my preferences. Favourite campaigns are Enemy Within for WFRP, Throne of Thorns for Symbaroum and Horror on the Orient Express for Call of Cthulhu. Favourite adventures for D&D are Hellbound, Dead Gods, Harbinger House. I'd most like to run an interesting story with a medium amount of combat (or an adventure that doesn't lose much if I give up a lot of encounters), room for role playing, difficult choices, surprising plot twists. I'm not keen on dungeons.
Below are 3 campaigns I'm thinking about.
1) Curse of Strahd - I ran Ravenloft and House of Strahd years ago. That's why I never thought of running Curse. Is the new version a more interesting story or just a lot more locations around where you have to kill legions of enemies?
2) Sahadow of the Dark Queen - it doesn't matter to me if it's a good or poor introduction to Dragonlance. All that matters is the adventure. Again, more than hundreds of battles I care about an interesting story to tell. Of course, I know that this is an adventure from the War of the Lance, so a lot of clashes are to be expected....
3) Icewind Dale - all in all, I would like the same as from the others. First and foremost, an interesting storyline.
Thank you in advance for your help,
M
