Update: Goblins have snatched our devs! But not to worry, adventurers have been dispatched to save them! Until then, Lost Mine of Phandelver will remain free to claim until October 10. On that day, we’ll also release Intro to Stormwreck Isle.

About Intro to Stormwreck Isle
Intro to Stormwreck Isle is the perfect experience for new Dungeon Masters to run for a table of players looking for a short, accessible introduction to D&D. It includes two encounters, Voyage to Stormwreck Isle and Drowned Sailors, that tie into the beginner-friendly Dragons of Stormwreck Isle adventure.
- Voyage to Stormwreck Isle is set aboard a ship en route to an island known as Stormwreck Isle. When the vessel encounters a foe during a raging storm, it’s up to the players to save the day! This encounter can be run with minimal preparation and includes plenty of text for the Dungeon Master to read aloud, as well as pointers for handling the different decisions players may make.
- Drowned Sailors is from the first chapter of Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, and it follows the events of Voyage to Stormwreck Isle. In this encounter, the players disembark their ship to discover that not all is well on the island. They’ll face off against new enemies, which they’ll find are not so good at staying down.
Continuing the Adventure With Dragons of Stormwreck Isle
If you and your players enjoy Intro to Stormwreck Isle, you can continue the fun with Dragons of Stormwreck Isle! This beginner-friendly adventure explores the secrets of this fated island. Your players will fight monsters, loot treasures, and contend with dragons.
