Dracula on steroids!
My gaming group currently consists of my roommate, my fiancee and our 10 year old. My roommate is along for the ride and will play whatever I throw at him but my fiancee and 10 year old were clearly getting bored with chasing bandits in The Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure. LMoP had the downfall of not drawing you in with teases to the greater storyline. It starts with a goblin ambush and a frontier town plagued with bandits. Though I loved the idea of a sort of Old West type town in D&D, my girls were not so enthralled. So I bought this. My fiancee loves horror and the kid loves vampires.
I chose the first adventure hook offered in the book, having them enter a tavern in Phandalin, the town of LMoP, as a light mist drifts into the night air. Whilst in the tavern, I ran the adventure hook and when they exited later, the mist was now a thick fog, the town of Phandalin was gone and as soon as the tavern door was closed behind them it disappeared as well. They three were now alone on a road in the middle of the forest with a single dilapidated sign pointing West labeled Barovia. From this moment, they were hooked.
Anything beyond that would be spoilers so I will just say I have scared them multiple times and we are only just in the town of Barovia, at the beginning of the book, and they are LOVING it! This adventure is so apart from any other I have read or run and has a lot of amazing moments. The writing is superb and it ACTUALLY approaches the entire adventure as if the DM were running D&D for the first time, which I like. A plethora of useful tips, hints and information is provided here the level of which is rarely found in other published adventures. I am thoroughly impressed and cant wait to see how my group's story unfolds.Read full review...

5E's Best Adventure. 10 out of 10. Play this.
Best Adventure for 5E and Tabletop. Very RP heavy, there is combat(DEADLY COMBAT), in the extreme. Compared to the other adventures this one has a lot of talking and declensions you have to make compared to combat. This is a big sandbox, so your characters could be going into a level 99 area at level 7 if you know what I mean (TPK). Its an amazing world, a demiplane, to play in and become a hero. You could also try Princess Mode or Diplomacy mode, and actually try to help the antogonist, sad story, very interesting twist. The amount of supplemental material the online community has made for this is AMAZING. Lots of extra bits you can add to this adventure Read full review...

In very good condition. Works as intended (it’s a hardcover book so I can smash some bugs with it if I have to) No torn pages and looks great even if it’s just laying around on a table. Great adventure and am enjoying it with my kids. Thank you ^_^Read full review...

The best adventure for dnd.
Strahd, the first vampire, leads a small empire, and our adventurers have to face many difficulties trying to deal with the Master.
Good luck!

A must-play or run for 5e D&D.
One of the best Adventure paths published by WotC - the newer version in the boxed set is even better,
