One of D&D’s most approachable campaigns yet is available now
The latest standalone D&D campaign, Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, is now available from Amazon, and from your local games store with a very cool limited edition cover. The $59.99 campaign offers 226 pages with eight chapters of approachable encounters, making this an excellent option for novice DMs.
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk is an expanded retelling of an adventure introduced in the 2014 Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set, which kicks off on the outskirts of Neverwinter, and features enough content for roughly three or four sessions. The final, challenging encounters of the campaign are designed for a party of level 12 characters.

While this expansion provides an accessible platform for new DMs, the latest standalone Dungeons & Dragons campaign is full of monsters and environments that will be familiar to anyone who’s spent any amount of time traveling around the Sword Coast in Baldur’s Gate 3. For many players, Baldur’s Gate 3 is their first experience with the D&D 5e ruleset, and while we still wholeheartedly recommend the Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit for anyone looking to wade into the Forgotten Realms, Phandelver and Below remains an excellent initial campaign for starting players and DMs.
