Defiance in Phlan

The Cult of the Dragon has come to Phlan, a lawless refuge on the Moonsea. Now, with no significant authority to stop the cult, other power groups in the Realms--the Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Emerald Enclave, Lords' Alliance , and even the Zhentarim--must untite to stop the cult from fulfilling its dark purpose in the city. Join the fight by participating in any one of five different missions aimed at stopping the cult.

An introductory adventure for 1st-level characters.

DDEX1-1 5E

Also included in the purchase of this adventure is a version specially converted for use with the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop software. The converted adventure features all the text and maps from the original adventure along with cross-linking of monsters, spells, magic items, equipment, and story elements, plus the powerful rules automation for which Fantasy Grounds is known.


We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

This remains one of my most frequently run modules. It is an excellent starter game for new players and one of the few modules to really showcase the various pillars of the game.

If anyone is interested, I did a full blog series on the lessons I learned designing this adventure. If you are interested in game and adventure design, or if you just want some insight into what I was thinking when I wrote it, where I feel like I could have done something better, etc., you can check it out here: http://www.encodeddesigns.com/news/lessons-learned-four-years-designing-5e/

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has purchased the adventure, DMed it for players, left reviews, or who have otherwise encouraged me and contributed through their participation in this great hobby!

Hey Shawn. Not sure if you'll see this, but the 3rd adventure resulted in some players ended up with an item that we can't seem to put a value on. Is there a means of contacting you to maybe discuss this?

I realize this material is old, but there seem to be links in the PDF that no longer are really links. Most are self explanatory but...

1 - Am I missing something, are the links working for others?
2 - Biggest now is pregen characters, is it referring to the pregen characters on WOC website?

5/5 stars.

Fun adventure to run. Good introduction to the season. The description doesn't match the map in the last mission, but it's minor; not enough to lose a star.

I really enjoyed running this. My players like to RP...A LOT...so we ran long on every mod but it made it even more fun.

Long rest between the mission was a nice way for level ones to recover.

I geeked out big time over the Tiamat reference with Madame Freona's Daughters.

5/5 Stars

This is a great module for introducing new players to 5e. I particularly like how each mission is given by a different faction which helps to give new players an idea of the motivations and goals of each faction. The missions have a nice balance of combat, stealth and investigation overall, which means everyone will be able to contribute something.

While each mission can be run in an hour, they can definitely run significantly longer if most of your players are new.

This was a fun and interesting mod. I ran it for a group of friends at the comic shop. They are new to 5E and they had a blast.

Excellent introduction to D&D. I used this for a school group and was able to complete each of the missions in a series of after school sessions. Players then had levelled up and worked out the mechanics. None of the story lines were overtly complex and so worked well.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
