The Lost Mines of Phandelver for D&D 5th Edition

GM: Richard Bouchard – I started roleplaying with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition in 1993, and currently play and run games using the current 5th Edition system. I’ve run games for all ages and love seeing the creativity and ingenuity that new players bring to the table.
Game: I’ll be running the first part of a larger adventure called Lost Mines of Phandelver, a great introductory Dungeons and Dragons adventure set in the classic Forgotten Realms setting. This adventure can be run for up to five players and will use pregenerated characters so that we can quickly jump right in. The module is written for players of all experience levels and is a great starting point for anyone interested in D&D or other role playing games. To start this adventure, your party has been hired by an old friend to escort a wagon of supplies to the frontier town of Phandalin. While the road ahead may be well-travelled, monsters, bandits, and magic are all perils that you face when you travel in the Forgotten Realms!
