Hello! 

The newest D&D Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle contains an adventure that spans levels 1-3 and serves as a perfect introduction to D&D play. It's also available for Adventurers League play; presented below are the adaptation notes.

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Adaptation Guide

There are no changes to the information presented in the adventure including the rewards. However, we have some guidance on breaking down the adventure for sessions of play - you can schedule each of these as separate 2-3 hour sessions or use this to schedule week-to-week play. 

This adventure is for characters levels 1-4. Characters higher than 4th level cannot participate in this adventure. It is ideally a great place to start a new 1st level character and play through each session successively. Notes below are provided on ideal levels.

This adventure is part of the Forgotten Realms Adventurers League campaign. 

Session 1: Dragon’s Rest

This part of the adventure is designed for 1st level (new) characters. Run "Welcome to Dragon's Rest," exploring the village and run the "Drowned Sailors" encounter. Have all groups head to Seagrow Caves next. If you're running a single table through the whole adventure, it is recommended through not required that characters do not level at the end of the session. Otherwise, you may award a level. 

Session 2: Seagrow Caves

This part of the adventure is designed for 1st level characters. Award a level at the end of the session. If you're running a single table through the whole adventure, have the group head to the Cursed Shipwreck next.

Session 3: Cursed Shipwreck

This part of the adventure is designed for 2nd level characters. Award a level at the end of the session. If you're running a single table through the whole adventure, have the group head to the Clifftop Observatory next.

Session 4: Clifftop Observatory

This part of the adventure is designed for 3rd level characters. Award a level at the end of the session. Once this chapter is concluded, the adventure is over. Play other D&D Adventurers League adventures as a next step!
