Hoard of the Dragon Queen is a very hard adventure to run from what I've seen so far for a beginner dm...
At least chapter 1 has those "missions", Chapter 2 is basically giving a location, NPCs, and go!
Chapter 3 is a solid battlemap. Which I like but not when there are too much.
I decided to post when I read Chapter 4. I was like, "what?" I mean... this doesn't even give a location/NPCs like Chapter 2, this Chapter is entirely based on assumption that characters will do something- also there are a lot of cities that the PCs are assumed to travel- but very little description for it. I don't know what Baldur's Gate/Elturel looks like and it seems I have to construct a theme for both cities
Yes, on top of that, as published, the adventure suffered from being published while the ruleset and in particular the monsters were not finalised. To make it playable, you can however find a lot of nice resources on the web, for example here:
