D&D Community Content
I create small, practical D&D 5e supplements for Dungeon Masters who want flexible side quests, campaign bridges, and table-ready complications for Forgotten Realms campaigns near Phandalin.
Start here:
- For Phandalin-based campaigns (Lost Mine of Phandelver, Dragon of Icespire Peak or Phandelver and below: The shattered obelisk):
- Final Contact
- The Cleric & The Wyrmling
- For campaign add-ons and side-quest
- Lycan Lockdown & Lunar Lunacy
Final Contact
Release date: December 2020 (as part of Write your first adventure workshop by the Storytelling Collective. Also part of this bundle.)
What’s happening: Your adventure group finds an old man protecting a young girl get back to her grand-parents after her parents were killed in the forest. As you travel back to the town of Phandomar, another town close to Phandalin, once being targeted by constant Wererat attacks, you’ll discover more details about the past of the old man and the guilt he’s been having for decades.
Contains: a 24-page one-shot adventure that can be inserted in a Phandalin-based campaign for 5th level adventurers, as well as additional wererat-based magic items, monster stats and map packs (with DM & player options)
The Cleric & The Wyrmling
Release date: March 2023
What’s happening: Sister Garaele is a great NPC in Lost Mine of Phandelver but is missing in Dragon of Icespire Peak. In this adventure, the adventure group can find out what she has been up to: Finding a wyrmling in an abandoned cave and helping them to survive.
What this adventure is for: This side-mission for your Phandalin-based campaign can be a set-up adventure that takes your original starter campaign and adds a potential backstory that helps the transition into a larger campaign such as Storm King’s Thunder or Tyranny of Dragons. This module gives you hooks and potential ideas to combine Sister Garaele’s whereabouts to the plot of the coming adventure as well as connections to Cryovain or Venomfang.
Contains: a 27-page document containing a one-shot side-mission, hooks to combine your Phandalin-based campaign with most of the adventures published until mid-2022, as well as magical items, monster stats, and map packs (with DM and player options).
Lycan Lockdown & Lunar Lunacy
Release date: May 2023
What this module is for: This module contains several gameplay options to put a town into a Lycan Lockdown mode, including town limits, nighttime curfews, lycantrophy testing centers and holding areas in case a creature tested positive for lycantrophy. The second part contains options in case of Lunar Lunacy, showing ramifications for towns that have been constantly dealing with outside lycantrophic attacks. This module can also be used as an extension for the Final Contact adventure and is PWYW.
Contains: an 8-page document with multiple lycantrophy options, as well as magic spells and magic items, as well as a map for the holding area (with DM and Player options).
Arvel’s Archives D&D Community Content Bundle
I’ve made a collective bundle for all the D&D Community Content that I’ve published and have combined them here. This bundle collects all three published adventures and modules that are described above.
Note: All titles are community-created content for Dungeon Masters Guild and are not official Wizards of the Coast products.
Background
I started DM’ing in mid-2020 and I started off with the insane idea to combine Lost Mine of Phandelver, Dragon of Icespire Peak and Tyranny of Dragons. When I started collecting the outlines of the overarching story, I noticed several connecting threads, as well as things missing in either campaigns. During this phase, I found the „Write your first adventure“ program from the Story Collective in late 2020. During this time, I wrote Final Contact, which is sort of a homage to one of my favorite Star Trek movies, First Contact, dealing with an old soldier who was once transformed into something else and performed atrocious crimes in that other form. Now, he finds himself trying to make amends with his past. This story made me think about the story structure of the campaigns, which led me to write the additional module The Cleric & The Wyrmling. Some ideas that I had after writing Final Contact and running it for my home campaign (as well as certain global events happening in 2020/2021) led me to write the add-on module Lycan Lockdown & Lunar Lunacy. So if you want to have options for lycantrophic detection tests with specific inclusion of specificity and sensitivity of the test, have a look at this PWYW module. Or I’d be very happy if you’d get the bundle that contains all offered products.
