The best D&D module right now isn't even on D&D Beyond, and it was written by the creator of Baldur's Gate

Cover of the hardback Chains of Asmodeus book against a gray background.

I've said here before that Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus ranks among one of the best D&D 5e modules out there right now; a frenetic, bombastic adventure that drags players down to the Nine Hells of Baator in the hope of saving a lost city, a fallen angel, and more besides. Although it was originally sold as a prequel to Baldur's Gate 3, it ended up evolving into its own entity – a madcap adventure through the battlefields of the damned. BG3 isn't so much a sequel to that as it is a kind of elaborate spin-off that occasionally invokes the consequences and context of Descent into Avernus. A true sequel to Descent into Avernus has yet to exist… at least officially. But unofficially, there's an adventure out there that might be one of the best 5e modules around: Chains of Asmodeus.
