Keeping up with the theme of straightforward quests, The Black Road has players escorting a caravan on a desert road plagued by monster attacks. If players like, In the Face of Fear can extend into a mini-campaign centered around the party’s battle against Bane cultists. There’s enough excitement in this mod to give players a satisfying D&D session, but the true joy is how it connects to 7 other mods. They face hard travel, combat, and a test of character on the way. The player characters are hired by servants of the lawful god Torm to retrieve the Tenets of Bane, discs that carry an evil god’s power. In the Face of Fear is the perfect example of such a story. Then, if they want more, you can end the adventure on a cliffhanger, with their goal just out of reach. The best way to introduce people to D&D is often with a very simple story, a quest with a straightforward goal. Upon completion, players will also get a memorable reward that they will want to carry with them for the rest of their adventures.

DMs Guild modules are especially compatible with Adventurers League, the standardized organization of D&D play. But with so many different settings, hardcover campaigns, and play styles out there, it can be hard for both player and DM to pick the right first time game.ĭungeon Masters Guild is a great resource as it presents customers with a library of modules, mini-adventures made to be completed in one session. Or StartPlaying, in this case, as we have a friendly group of expert GMs ready to run a variety of beginner-friendly sessions. Dungeons & Dragons is more popular than ever, which makes it a great time to start playing.
