I’m looking to run a prewritten campaign for 3-4 people, because I think it would improve my DMing as well as work on some of the basics for my players. What adventures do y’all like that start at lower levels (not level 1)? Ideally on the longer side, but shorter campaigns are fine too.
Oooh ok good to know. CoS caught my eye in any case and one of the employees at a local game store has run it multiple times since the 90’s (including in 5e), so I’d have a great source of advice there
As a Player I didn’t like it as much as CoS but that might be personal taste. Our DM said there’s not much detail given sometimes and less external stuff to cover that fact.
What do you mean by “on the longer side”? Do you just mean “no one- or two-shots” or do you mean “big adventure that will last for like a year and go from level 4-10”?
In that case, you’ll need to go with only a couple of publishers. In fact, the only publishers I’m aware of who do such long adventures are Paizo and WOTC. If you want something from WOTC, I can vouch for Curse of Strahd being quite good. I can also vouch for Paizo’s Abomination Vaults, but only the story. They publish it for both D&D and Pathfinder and I’m currently running it in the latter.
Just don’t do what my DM did and forget to tell us how the light sword works after we found the hilt. We assumed it was broken and we needed to find the rest of it. And he didn’t correct us. We ended up spending several levels on a wild goose chase before he was like, “oh by the way, it’s like a lightsaber”. Still though we went to lots of interesting places in that time because there’s so much to explore in Barovia.
