This was a decent adventure. When my party played it, they quickly made it through the adventures in less than the 5 hour times. This is a great adventure for new players what with the rests after each combat. The adventure was not overly difficult though there was some struggle in the 2nd mini adventure if I remember correctly.

A generic but flexible intro to 5E.

The module consists of five short mini-adventures, each running in about 60 to 90 minutes.

We used this in our home group as the module we ran on the same night as character creation, knowing that rolling characters would take most of the night and therefore we could play as many or as few mini-adventures afterwards as we have time for.

The mini-adventures vary in quality. There's three traditional very short dungeon crawls, which are all about standard for this kind of thing. There's a mystery/investigation plot, which would be good except that the underlying mystery is disappointing and random. And there's a plot which sees the players running a sting operation on an illegal dragon egg sale, which is the best of the bunch by a fair margin with lots of opportunity for comedy, suspense and action.

Despite the underlying theme of the mini-adventures ("something is going on with dragons"), they're all very low stakes and don't exactly create an epic feel for the ongoing campaign. None of the NPCs here get used again in the adventure path, and there's not a lot of opportunity for players to have a personal stake in any of these outside of their faction contacts. Nor is anything that happens particularly memorable - there's a strong sense of having done all this before in D&D many, many times.

That said, it's solid, it's easy to run, it's flexible, and my players had fun.

Easily one of the most fun new character modules I've run. Each of the 5 parts featured varied enemies (undead, bandits, goblins, etc) as well as differing challenges (Puzzles, social challenges, combat).

A wonderful introduction to D&D and I look forward to running it for my players again!

These were nice adventures for introducing players to DDAL and the Tyranny of Dragon season. There's a good mix of combat, role playing, and getting draconic flavoring. My players are still laughing over some of the role playing. Worth the time and money!

Ran this via PbF @ RPGGeek. Easy to DM, lots of places to either get way into the RP or slim it down and just concentrate on the combat. Group choice. Excellant intro module.

This is a good introductory adventure. It's written as five short mini-missions that can each be played in about in 45-90 min. This adventure sets up the story line for the first season of Adventurer's League. If you're looking for something you can play in "little bites" in order to introduce new players and new DMs to D&D, this is a great choice.

I enjoyed running this adventure and my players had a lot of fun. 5 different mini adventures with a variety of styles, each one introducting a different faction. The fifth one contains one of my favorite monsters to run so that's always a plus. If you're not sure where to start this is a good taste of what is to come. :)

Wish I would have started DMing with this one. The mini-missions can feel overwhelming to a time-crunched table, but if this is your first time-and you have plenty of time to run these-they're great.

My players really liked the Harper adventure in this module. The interaction with the spy can go many ways and pretty much any way it can go is going to be fun for the DM.

Overall I really enjoy every portion of these 5 mini adventures, which I have recently used as a part of my Learn to Plays I run at a local game store. The players seemed to really enjoy the variety of adventures and monsters they were able to fight. The Teakettle is a funa nd intresting jumping off point with a set of NPC's you are able to develop for your players throughout the process of running the 5 mini adventures.

My only complain is the 4th mini adventure the Feast at Evenfeast is a bit confusing and depending on your tables approach may make it hard to impossible to solve the riddle.

I enjoyed running this one for my group. It is an excellent introduction for players to 5e (and because we were using FantasyGrounds, an introduction to that as well). I highly recommend this to starting DMs.

As others have said, the 1-hour adventures can easily take longer than an hour; so try to limit the players roleplaying time or expect the session to run well over the limit.

This module provides an excellent introduction to Dungeons & Dragons in a neat series of short mini quests. It also works very well as a first module for a new Dungeon Master to try their hand at running, with the very well written DM instructions in each mission.

This has become the go-to introductory adventure set at my LGS. the adventures are small, manageable, self contained, easy to run, easy to play, diverse in genera and scope, and both intuitively fulfilling and mechanically rewarding for new adventurers.

The 1-hour play target makes them easy to run as drop-in pick-up-group games during a store game day, and the loosely connecting story arc rewards players who stick around for multiple adventures.

I'm not a big fan of the 5 part modules, however, this is the module I go to when I want to introduce new players into the Mechanics of 5th Edition. This is an all-around solid module that is pretty straight forward. I definitely would reccomend this for new DM's and new Players alike
