One thing I love about Waterdeep: Dragon Heist (and intend to use) is the break in the middle. You could run Blue Alley, the Umbral Aristocracy trilogy, or any number of other adventures before getting into the second half of the book. Or just a 5 to 8 year Waterdeep campaign. ;}

Why rush? Stay awhile! Heh. In the "home" Realms campaign, continuous play in Waterdeep has been going from the early spring of 1978 until now, and shows no sign of faltering or relocating.
