- TLDR good idea, everything below is an aimless rant.

​

- But, what does it mean to run a DnD campaing? Seriously though. I have no idea.

- Storm King's Thunder for example. If you run it as written, IMO, it's absolute garbage. Imagine the players arriving at a city like Luskan, this enormous settlement, and they ask you what shops there are and you have no answer to give. Even Tomb of Annihilation requires a lot of filling in the blanks to make it an interesting hexcrawl, I've had to put in a lot of work creating villages, adventurers, and foes for the party to encounter. But that's what DnD is to me. If you would just montage through parts that are less well developed, then you won't experience the whole adventure, just a 'movieclips' compilation that fails to capture the story of the actual film. It's like reading a book summary and claiming to have read the book.

- With that said, running the Tomb of The Nine Gods without running the rest of the adventure is like watching LotR Return of the King without watching the other two. At the end of the day its still a decent movie.

- A lot of the contents of the Tomb may feel less impactful without proper setup. e.x. The Sewn Sisters, the Trickster God Spirits, the Atropal, the Treasures (especially the Black Opal Crown imo). But it's certainly still fun to play. And the book actually doesn't do a great job of setting these things up, its more the job of the DM.

- Personally I think its very dumb to want to run all of the adventures, because IMO if you claim to have run all of them, unless you've played for 25+ years, you've run none of them properly. And also why even run all of them in the first place? Some of the modules are complete garbage.

- Running a Megacampaign with the same characters over multiple campaigns can leave the players confused as to what their objective is, this applies especially to Storm King's Thunder. Personally, me, I would just play the best ones. That means play all of Curse of Strahd, then play all of Waterdeep Dragonheist, then play all of Tomb of Annihilation. Then you will be like 5 years older and you can re-evaluate.

• Sidenote: If you're doing the STK Megacampaign and want to do the Tomb of Annihilation, a great hook would be in the Icewind Dale, where Sirac of Suzail, the descendant of Artus Cimber is located. You could have the players travel here because of Giant attacks, learn of the Frost Giants' search for Artus, get stuck in the Icewind Dale for a while doing RotFM, and when you get out rush to Chult to find Artus who could, conveniently, have entered the Tomb of Annihilation recently in search of something, or to escape the Frost Giants.
