For the first time in a while (almost two years), I’ve been updating my list of D&D 5E adventures – https://merricb.com/dungeons-dragons-5e-adventures-by-level/

It’s always an interesting endeavour.

Many of the DMs Guild entries tagged as “Adventure” don’t make this list. Mainly because (a) they’re for Roll20/Fantasy Grounds and they have a separate PDF entry or (b) they’re part of a bundle. (In which case, they should be there already. Or at least, they will be once I reach their original release).

That’s not all of the “not adventure” entries, although it is a lot of them. There are the products that aren’t adventures at all and are tagged incorrectly.

“100 adventure ideas” probably fits the DMs Guild definition of “adventure” (I mean, where else do you put it?), but it doesn’t fit this list.

Oh look! It’s a new subclass that is tagged as an adventure. Off the list you go!

My #1 request for blurb writers: Put the levels of your adventure in the blurb! You might think that tagging an adventure as “Tier 2” in the DMs Guild is enough, but that isn’t visible to anyone on your adventure’s page. (And it’s also quite inexact!)

I haven’t been paying attention to what the D&D Adventurers League has been doing, but in the past month of releases, we have just Dungeoncraft releases.

• 12 Spelljammer
• 1 Eberron
• 1 Ravenloft

In the general adventures, we have ONE level 20 adventure! “Clash with Kazgaroth“, the finale of a series set in the Moonshae Isles.

No idea if it’s any good. But it’s nice to see in the list!

In case you were wondering, I use a piece of software I wrote myself to help populate the lists, but they are significantly curated. I edit the titles, add the adventure level ranges (if known), and edit the blurbs, trying to get them to a reasonable length. It takes time – in about half an hour this morning, I got through slightly over a week’s worth of adventure releases. (Part of the slowness is due to me getting distracted or due to the lack of speed of my internet connection).

The updates are going to be a slow process – I’m hoping to add a week of releases each day. Which means I’ll be caught up… before the end of the year?

I need to get back into the code that displays the lists on my site and fix a few display issues – and bugs. I’m don’t code in PHP that much (I’m a C#, ASP.NET, and SQL person most of the time). And, at the time I wrote them, I hadn’t done a lot of website coding. I’ve done a lot more now – though not in PHP. Sigh.

I’ve got a review of Dragons of Mystery mostly done, as well as a couple of requested reviews of products I wanted to have done months ago. (The last three years have not been kind to my reviewing reliability).
