I am consider, maybe I want to DM an official 5e adventure here on PBP. I have DMd LMoP twice online and enjoyed both.
But before I purchase any new adventure I would like to know if there would be enough interest and if anyone could recommend me one.

Context:
1. I do not want to run LMoP, CoS (I'm a player currently in one)
2. I do not want to run super long scenario on PBP (so I chose to split Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat)
3. I do want, desire and am able to fix any problematic scenarios
4. I would prefer running a scenario that has a lot of pre-written flavour texts as my (absence of) literary talent is my weakest DM's perk.

Prerequisite/what I can offer
- I want to run "1 post per day", meaning I am pushing story forward any day regardless of any players ability to post during that day.
- I know DnD rules well and will enforce them
- As stated above I do not have talent to describe environment or NPC emotions in good English. I will try to use visuals and technical language instead. I may name NPC feelings rather than demonstrate them in their speech.

If you still think you would like to play the game DMd by me despite of above please recommend me an adventure or vote any of those I've listed

If you're looking for shorter adventures, you could always do a series of smaller adventures like those in Ghosts of Saltmarsh or Candlekeep Mysteries. I haven't read them, but from what I understand they can be much shorter than a regular full-size module.

EDIT: Just to avoid confusion, just offering up ideas, not saying that I can play the game.

1 post pr day is a frequency in comfortable with. Including weekends?

I would have liked to make more than one vote as I also would have liked to join in a Tomb of Annihilation and The Rise of Tiamat game

I think the books with shorter sub adventures might suit you best, or I think some adventures have short AL subsections? I've never played them.

I haven't played any of those adventures, id be interested in all of them honestly

To add to what the others have said about shorter options like the AL stuff there's also one of the adventures from tales from the yawning portal that would be shorter.

However if you want to run one of the above I've not played in any of them and would be interested.

I remember reading the premise of Out of the Abyss and being super interested but I don’t know if its long. Alas, I’d like to join (I’m currently running two LMoPs, one PbP one live) and would like to play one if I have the choice.

I'm not sure I'd want to join one of those, but I'll offer a couple of related thoughts.

I ran Dragon Heist, and had a blast. However, I found some of the logic in the story doesn't makes sense as written, and the climax is kinda weird. I made a few changes along the way to "fix" it to my liking. Someone has an even more extensive fix online (link here) if you want to read it.

Tomb of Annihilation is most interesting to me of the options presented, because of the distant jungle setting. Again, I'm not sure I'd play even if it was on offer - just expressing my thoughts.

Thanks for suggestions so far, it helped me a lot. Special thanks for pointer to adventures from tales from the yawning portal, I did really miss that and I believe it would be super suited for PBP, but i just realised what I love about DMing LMoP I will most probably miss in the shorter scenarios.

Anyway, unless anyone will manage to point me other direction I will further research Tomb of Annihilation and will do recruiting in a week or two.
And yes, I agree I need to do the game with only one or no posts over the weekend.
