Lost Mines of Phandelver, The Cragmaw Incursion

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

A speed run of the first chapters of the definitive Fifth Edition starting adventure. The goblinoid Cragmaw have taken your friends Gundren Rockseeker and his bodyguard Barry Bluejeans. Now you set out in a wagon filled with rotting produce to lure out an ambush party to find the goblins' hideout. In two hours of game time, the Cragmaw will turn Gundren over to The Black Spider to never be seen again. The turnips stink and so does this plan, but Gundren needs you and you need Gundren's money.

Game style

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Lots of bad guys and a reckless pace.

Gameplay details

The action movie equivalent of the TTRPG. You're buying a seat at my table, but you'll only need the edge. You don't have much time and you have to save Gundren and stop the Cragmaw tribe and they are ready for you.
