There is no purchase. Encounters material is not for sale. It's free to play for the players and DMs as a draw for people to come into their FLGS and play and buy D & D Products.

Also, here is an alternative: http://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Delve-Edition-Supplement-Adventure/dp/0786951397

I had the same problem. When my son was born, I had to change the game style.

In 4e, Wizards released a book called Dungeon Delve. The book brought back the idea of the mini adventure: the one-hour dungeon. It features a three-to-four encounter mini-dungeon for each level 1-30.

I adopted this style in my game. I've got about ten or twelve dungeon delves all written out for my players, levels 1-10. On top of that, I've got some non-combat mini-adventures, too. Mysteries the party can solve, that sort of thing.

All of these mini-adventures is based in a central quest hub. You can build it however you want, but I chose the Dwarven version of Key West. It's a campaign where you might have to charter a fishing boat, explore an ancient temple ruin, then finish off the night with peel-and-eat shrimp and a beer while listening to halflings playing pop-song covers where the lyrics are replaced with dick jokes.

On any given night, my party can start and finish an entire adventure. That was the whole idea.

Understood! THey have been adding more and more content that can be "Printed" each month; you might be able to find a used/new copy of dungeon delve by other legal means like through amazon stores https://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Delve-4th-Supplement-Adventure/dp/0786951397

I recommend that you pick up Dungeon Delve for getting started with pre-made encounters and Masterplan to keep it all together.

I've heard a lot said about buying a premade adventure. If you are running 4e, might I suggest Dungeon Delve?

It's a great way to get a bunch of basic encounters ready fast. Just jump in and play, and learn the rules as you go.

Just echoing what these guys are saying. Keep it simple for new players and the best way to do that is with a low level game.

In 4e they [made a book] (https://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Delve-4th-Supplement-Adventure/dp/0786951397) entirely of one shots. I don't own it but my DM ran a few of it for us while he was working on his own campaign. Even though it's 4th edition, it's easily adaptable and at worst inspiration.

They typically following the rule of Backstory + 3 encounters.

For example: "You're here in Countryville after being hired by King SoandSo. His daughter, Princess Superimportant is traveling to a neighboring city to broker a new trading agreement between the two kingdoms. The road that will be traveled is dangerous and goes through the mountains where Goblins reside. You're tasked with ensuring her safe arrival." That paints the scene for the players and makes clear goals.

Roleplay meeting the princess, loading the carts and making necessary preparations from taking off.

Encounter 1: 4 goblins are keeping watch of the entrance to the mountain on makeshift watch towers. As the PC's approach a horn is blown alerting their kin. They knock arrows and begin to fire down through the canvas roof of the cart. Roll initiative.

Encounter 2. Along the way they see some fellow humans chained up near in an alcove near the side of the road fixing to be fed to a bugbear, perhaps from Princess Superimportant's kingdom or the Kingdom she is traveling to. Princess Superimportant urges that we stop to save them, even if it's super dangerous. She tasks the players with cutting through the couple goblins and then dealing with a large bugbear beast before he's able to have his meal.

Encounter 3: The players have made it through the mountains, saved some allies and everything looks good. Until the driver of the wagon notifies the princess something is tailing them. They look out of the wagon behind them and there's 3 goblins riding on wolves and one goblin chieftain riding a dire wolf chase after. Perhaps they shoot an flaming arrow to the back of the cart and set it ablaze. There's a hide speed battle while moving to the city which should make a memorable fight.

Bam - there's a one shot.

Just follow the formula of:

Backstory

Encounter

Encounter

Encounter

One of the encounters can be a roleplay encounter should you choose or roleplay between the encounters to mix it up.

If you have the 4e Character Builder from WotC, then you don't need to read "a bunch of books for various benefits or character creation," because everything is in there.

Sadly, if you want to play D&D and have a long term campaign, someone's gonna have to suck it up and be the DM. With the DM, you could find the Dungeon Delve book which is just a series of adventures organized by level. You could just run through that with the same characters, and level up each game.

I found a copy of the dungeon delve. It does not provide enough exp to get through the whole level.

Part of this campaign is to see how much time actually needs to be spent to get from level 1-30.

It is a great place to start. Do you have more recommendations?
