Can I request this get pinned? I think it's a great resource and could save a lot of new folks a fair bit of searching if it was just pinned at the top. Maybe a mod could create one and then the community could add to it? I just think this is something worthy of hanging out at the top of a page somewhere.

the problem with the last three is that they're limited time promos - SJA is no longer free. I'd expect both Prison 13 and Star Forge to go that route also.
I've been writing a blog, Dragonencounters.com that creates combat encounters for each monster. I use the monsters' natural skills and tendencies together with whatever terrain, traps, or whatever else seems relevant to create truly challenging encounters. Also, suggestions for which monsters to use in combination with each monster.
(I also make a point of making the encounters easily playable, suggesting how the strategies employed will affect the game wherever it seems necessary, and providing the details of any traps and puzzles needed to accompany any giver monster.)
While this isn't exactly the same as a campaign, it gives DMs what they need in order to create campaigns much more easily. (It seems to me that the plot is the area least needed, given how many ideas I find online.) As a plus, my encounters can be plugged into a campaign as well as used on their own, if you like your ideas or the campaign you're running but want to give it something extra.
I've started at the beginning of the Monster Manual, and am currently in the middle of devils, with over 50 articles already up.

Also, suggestions for which monsters might be found together (for people tired of dungeons full of one humanoid race, and perhaps a few beasts and undead.)
Brother, I as a new player and even more brand new dm Thank you wholeheartedly!
Can't wait to start playing! Thanks so much for this!

Thanks so much for doing this! I'm a new DM and I want to create a memorable experience for my players. This helps so much! Thanks again!
VOTE PEDRO!!!
Why does HotDQ only have 3 of the 8 chapters?
That's likely just the sample of the adventure.
There is also the NASA one "The Lost Universe" and there is a Lego one "Red Dragon's Tale"
Hope these are helpful!
Thank you for posting this! I'm about to look at these, and torture my players with them once I shift the plot a little.
