[H]as anyone grabbed the Hoard if the Dragon Queen?
I picked it up recently. I haven't entirely gone through it, but I suppose in this case we're all new to it by definition.
I know you said you have issues with Forgotten Realms and the adventure is theoretically set there, but I'm not too familiar with the setting so it'll mostly just be some geography and place names (although I s'pose we'll use the FR deities unless someone objects).
If that suits you, I've put a game together
here.
(When you say it's monster stats, are you referring to the pdf? That's a supplement to the adventure, which is a good-sized hardcover. It includes all the generic monsters that appear since the MM isn't out yet. The adventure itself only has six pages of statblocks, and all but three of 'em are named individual NPCs.)
