Cheers folks,
as we wrapped up our glorious To slay a Dragon campaign (mucho gracias to EN for that) I was casting for new things to play with that specific group. For logistical reasons, I was taking a closer look at the DDAL stuff and while I've been reading and digging on and off for weeks, there's a few basic questions left unanswered. So, here goes, in my usual jumble-brained unordered fashion.
We ended the last session right after the party downed Cirothe (EPIC fight). So, instead of having them monty haul carts full of treasure I'm contemplating dragging through the fog into Ravenloft (ok, I might allow them to return Ariadne home and be celebrated as heroes and THEN pull them over). Looking at
DMsGuild (yes, I'm capable of searching there
) the modules fitting them level-wise would be DDAL04-7 through 14. But, are they a somewhat connected story? If so, is #7 enough of a start, or would the party feel like they entered someone elses campaign halfway through?
Since we agreed to pause those characters for a while and start with a fresh bunch but come back to the old heroes later and switch back and forth: Would it be feasible to have two groups in the same DDAL storyline (Stradh, likely), some playing tier 1 others tier 2, with the same players? I was hoping for cool synergies where one party comes across something that the players will recognize and go "Oh, that was us with the other party. SHWEET!".
In closing, any other input you would give someone trying their hands on AL, purely for home table, basically as a series of losely connected single session modules?

- Is there a list of all published DDAL material? Just something like a list with names, levels and a link to the product on DMsGuild would do
- As for names, what's with all those abbreviations for those modules? DDAL is easy enough to figure out, but DDEX? There seems to be CCC as well, and EB, and light knows what else that I've missed. Is there a concise list of these buggers somewhere?
