Dungeons & Dragons 5e | The Dragon of Ice Spire Peak (5e, beginner friendly!)

About the adventure

The small town of Phandalin, located along the Triboar trail and near the Sword Coast, is in peril. The town's mayor Harbin Wester is certain that recently, dragons have been spotted... a bad sign indeed, for the town is not equipped to defend itself. You, a traveling group of adventurers arrive in Phandalin unaware of the mayor's perdicament. Instead, you are looking for work, and find yourself staring at the town's notice board... "help needed with dragon"... This beginner-friendly adventure can be an amazing introduction into D&D, where your characters will unravel the mystery of Phandalin! In this adventure, you will find: 📖 An intruiging and fun story that breathes Dungeons & Dragons! 👋 A friendly and somewhat forgiving story to help you learn the ropes. 👤 Compelling characters that you will interact with, each with their own agendas. 🧌 Dwarves, Gnomes, Orcs, and more... even those pesky undead. 🐲 ...and potentially a Dragon?! 🎵 Beautiful effects, music, and sound to bring the story to life! 🗺️ Maps and tokens designed by me with the source material in mind! 🎭 A Dungeon Master with a love for storytelling, voice acting, and special effects ;-) 💰 The Session-0 completely free of charge!
