I am sure this question must have been asked already, but I can't seem to find it so here it is possibly again.
Aside from Lost Mines of Phandelver, Hoard of the Dragon Queen, and Rise of Tiamat-- are there any other published adventures available to general players who didn't have the means to go to Gencon?
I play "Enconters" at a store, but truthfully, we've played the first two chapters from Hoard of th Dragon Queen, just moving into Chapter 3. The DM only has material to the end of this chapter. To be honest, I am new to Encounters, so I am not sure if we are meant to finish the adventure or only get to a certain chapter with the intentions of enticing players to purchase the adventure to continue on.
Nonetheless, While I know that 3 Published adventures can be considered to be a lot of adventure, considering the length of HotDQ and RoT, but I was hoping that maybe there were more published adventures for 5th Edition, that I could possibly get ahold of.
Any information would be really helpful.
Last question: Does anyone believe there will be a published adventure for The Sundering?
Edit: With my luck, this question has been answered a hundred times and I am just late to the scene.
I believe there was a sort of demo version of HotDQ for Encounters that did indeed only cover the first few chapters. Aside from the Tyranny of Dragons and Starter Set adventures, though, there's nothing else official for 5e. You could take a look at some of the earlier playtest adventures, though.
Speaking of which, they are the published adventures for the Sundering. They are Murder in Baldur's Gate, Legacy of the Crystal Shard, Scourge of the Sword Coast, and Dead in Thay.

Try roll20, even though you can use this as a plattform very well, you can find players there, too.
I would even suggest playing there tbh and maybe using skype only for talking. Really great site. ;)

I feel like they lost a majority of their fan-base, because of the abundance of material for 3.0 and 3.5 from 3rd party publishers. I feel that it saturated the market and made it difficult for casual Dungeon & Dragon players, because of the amount of information that was out there. It didin't help that 3rd Party Publishers were releasing material, and then that was it. For example, you'd gain a new class with some features in one book, but then there would be no support for that class.
I also feel that 4th edition didn't make it any easier. To be honest, I find 4th edition to be extremely confusing for a new player. It felt confusing to read through the PHB.
On top of all of that, it's in my own personal opinion that WotC is putting more and more effort into MtG, and it's cutting back on the Dungeons & Dragons portion. I'm thankful that it is still around, and that people like Ed Greenwood, Erinn Evans, R.A. Salvatore and numerous others are doing what they can to keep The Forgotten Realms alive after the saturation of 3.0E, 3.5E and 4E.
This is all my personal opinion.
M:tG is - and always was - WotC's bread and butter.

I bought and read through "Glitterdoom", and it looks like a fun and challenging adventure, though a bit short for the cost. I like the custom monsters and it even has a new background and dwarf subrace. Haven't ran it yet though, and might not- I have a lot of homebrew stuff to work through first and the party might outlevel it before I get to it.
Can't really voiuch for any of the other stuff.

At the moment, not many publishers have done stuff for 5E... that's mainly because the D&D team has still to release offical rules when it comes to 3rd party products, compatibility and such. Those who already sell 5E stuff on Drivethru risk to get sued. Once we have an OGL-like document, you can expect fan content and online PDFs to literally swarm the net 
I have never really gone for published adventures in my 25+ years of DMing, make your own, always more satisfying.
