This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hoard of the Dragon Queen, review/thoughts?

However, if was the long set piece combats that turned you off looking at this module wouldn't have helped.

Indeed. I think any of the three work well as a base to run some other version though.

I can't talk of any of the other modules, but Thunderspire Labyrinth is a quite nice site, though it has some kinks, iirc.

Yep. Ignore the tactical encounter maps and you can run KotD just like the Caves of Chaos, Thunderspire like D1-D2, and Gardmore Abbey like T1-4. Mearls and Co designed a bunch of 1E AD&D style dungeons for a system where each combat should be a special and climactic encounter. Crappy for 4E. Great for versions with simpler and faster combat, or supportive of hit and run tactics.
