D&D Expeditions

This page contains a list of adventures and synopsis' which are part of the D&D Expeditions adventure range within the D&D Adventurer's League community gaming programme run by Wizards of the Coast. These adventures are only available to convention and gaming centre organisers.

Wizards of the Coast describe D&D Expeditions as follows:

"D&D Expeditions sessions are typically the length of one of these adventures – usually about four hours. They’re a great way to get involved in a more “campaign style” game in an episodic manner. Each storyline, we’ll release many adventures that are available to be run in public. If you’re an experienced DM, running D&D Expeditions is probably a good fit for you."
