Adventure Access If youre an organizer associated with a store, after scheduling events, the store will receive the site link and password to a resource center that will contain all currently available adventures.
If youre an independent organizer running your games at a non-store public location, you can contact Wizards to request support for your public event or convention. There, you can find all sorts of information, read about upcoming releases, and ask questions. Head to dndadventurersleague. Online streaming play is considered public play as well.
While the actual play group might be small, as long as the public is able to easily access the streaming content through a website or application, the benefits for public play apply to the group participating in the adventure.
Organizers with a streaming account should specify it in their request for adventure access if theyre not able to partner with a store. Find Dungeon Masters Youre probably going to need help to run your games, unless youre only planning on having one table at your event.
If you plan to have multiple tables at your event and youre organizing, it can often be a good idea to let others take on the DM duties. You can recruit DMs from your friends, interested players in local stores, or through online portals like social media and community groups.
Make sure that you discuss the specifics of your event with your DMs. Let them know what adventures youd like to offer, and if there will be any sort of rewards for their service. You can involve them on the adventure selection process if youd like. Dungeon Masters work hard preparing their games. Make it easier on them by providing them with links to the adventures at least a week in advance of your event. Let them know that theyre responsible for bringing the adventure and showing up prepared to run the game.
Advertise Your Event Make sure to let others know that youre putting on an event! Ask to put up flyers at local stores if they have a community board. Head to nearby universities and high schools to see if you can advertise there too. Social media and forums have made getting the word out much easier. Set up an event, and invite friends and fellow gamers to it. Remind people through regular updates on your events progress. Make sure to let others know the following basics about your event:.
Date Time Adventures featured and appropriate levels Cost Maximum number of attendees. You should set up a document to capture event registration. Have players RSVP with you for the games and times theyd like to play. Keep the list handy, and make sure to bring it to the event.
You can even collect any event fees beforehand, so players dont have worry about paying on-site. Run Your Event! Be a good host and greet your players. You or someone you designate should help organize players into groups, especially those that didnt come with a full group this is known as marshaling.
If you need to make announcements, do so at the start or end of a session if possible to avoid disruption. Make sure the DMs are pacing their games accordingly. Check on the tables and ask if everyone is having a good time. Be open to feedback and responsive to good criticism. Make sure you hand out any rewards like certificates if you have them. Its a good idea to set up an event headquarters area for this purpose and to act as an information point for your attendees. When the event is over, make sure you thank your players for attending, and give a special thank you to your DMs.
If theres anyone who went above and beyond to help out, single that person out. A little recognition goes a long way. All participants players, Dungeon Masters, and organizers are expected to adhere to the following code of conduct: Participants must not conduct themselves in a manner that is disruptive to the enjoyment or safety of others at the event. Participants noticing disruptive behavior should make those responsible for the behavior aware of their actions.
If a participant feels uncomfortable bringing it to the attention of the disruptive individual, the participant should notify the organizer of the event immediately. Participants who feel as though they are in an unsafe environment should notify the organizer of the event immediately. The Dungeon Master has the right to ask a disruptive player to leave the table and speak with the organizer.
The organizer has the right to remove a disruptive or threatening player or Dungeon Master from the play area or premises. No tolerance is given for theft or aggressive behavior. Theft and aggressive behavior are grounds for immediate removal from the play area and the premises.
Examples of Violations Organizers, DMs, and players alike should maintain an awareness of possible violations to the code of conduct. They can occur in-person or online. Organizers can allow DM preview sessions before the event as long as the table follows these rules. The session should occur at least 48 hours before the event. The game played at the session must be an adventure available for public play at the event. The table must consist of a majority of DMs for the event two DMs for a three-to-four person table, three DMs for a five-to-six person table, and four DMs for a sevenperson table.
Other players attending the event can fill the remainder of the table. All rewards earned are conditional upon the DMs fulfillment of commitment to run games at the event. The organizer of the event can revoke rewards earned if the DM fails to meet his or her commitment. You can play in only one DM preview for each session you run at the event. For example, you cannot play three DM preview games and run only one session at the event.
Excessively vulgar or profane language Throwing or breaking objects in anger Leaving excessive trash in the play area Talking over other players excessively Demanding more attention from the DM Talking on a phone excessively at the table.
Using racial, gender, or cultural slurs against another participant Taking inappropriate photos of other participants Harassing other participants Using social media to bully other participants.
Threatening to hit other participants Tearing up another players character sheet Pulling out another participants chair, causing the player to fall Intentionally turning over a table. Stealing books, miniatures, or other products Stealing another participants certificates Taking another participants dice without asking permission Stealing organizer or DM materials, such as table tents, maps, and adventure documents.
Organizer Response An organizer who has code of conduct violations brought to his or her attention should resolve the manner quickly and professionally, with minimal disruption to the event if possible. The responses given here are guidelines, and if the situation calls for a more or less serious response to resolve a situation, the organizer is empowered to take appropriate action. Disruptive behavior can be dealt with by the Dungeon Master upon first offense by issuing the participant a warning.
Upon being issued a second warning, the Dungeon Master should notify the organizer of the event. If the Dungeon Master is engaging in disruptive behavior, a player should immediately inform the organizer. Unsafe behavior is more serious, and the Dungeon Master or other participants have the right to notify the organizer immediately. The organizer should issue a warning for the first offense, and remove the player from the table or play area upon any subsequent offenses.
See a list of regions in the Links and Resources section of this guide. If youre interested in becoming an organizer for your region, please contact the administrators. Organizers serve as the primary facilitators of public events, from one or two tables at a small store to a huge convention experience with hundreds of players gaming at the same time.
They are often associated with stores or conventions, and are there to take feedback and make sure you have fun participating while at the event. In addition, organizers often appoint one or more among them as appeals staff in case a player challenges a DM ruling after a session has concluded.
The current team members are noted in the credits of this guide. The Wizards team doesnt usually involve itself on specific rulings, instead focusing on implementing broad changes and adjusting the system to fit the needs of the community. However, the Wizards team is always on the lookout for quality feedback, which can be sent to the contact information in the Links and Resources section of this guide, or through our Game Support team.
They communicate directly with the public, develop adventures, and make policy and rules recommendations to the Wizards team. Each administrator position occupies a primary rolecommunity manager, resource manager, and content manager. There is one person in each position, with another person as an associate administratora backup position to help out when the primary administrator needs it.

Regional Coordinators Regional coordinators are helpful, organized individuals who facilitate and promote play in their assigned regions. These individuals work with the administrators to help grow events and excitement in their regions.
The regional coordinators can direct interested players, DMs, and organizers to the appropriate resources and give them information on current events in their assigned areas. They also determine which public events receive regional previews of upcoming adventures. Dungeon Masters Dungeon Masters are an important link in the administrative chain.

Harpers The Harpers is a scattered network of spellcasters and spies who advocate equality and covertly oppose the abuse of power. The organization is benevolent, knowledgeable, and secretive.
Bards and wizards of good alignments are commonly drawn to the Harpers. If you like designing adventures, can work to specifications, and are able to meet deadlines, we might add you to our approved list of adventure designers.
Our adventure designers are paid for their work and as such, are treated like professionals. We typically give an adventure designer a couple of weeks to flesh out an outline from an existing concept, and then about six weeks to design the adventure.
Attention to detail, ability to create a fun and exciting framework for an adventuring story, and ability to receive constructive feedback are required. Our designer open call will be announced through social media and requires a design test, as well as a sample of previous work. Well keep the call open for several weeks, and then close it. Some number of designers will be selected from the open call to be added to the approved list.
Once closed, well reopen a designer call when we want to add more designers to our approved list. In the Forgotten Realms, five factions have risen to prominence.
These factions seek to further their own aims while opposing destructive forces that threaten the folk of Faern. Each faction has its own motivations, goals, and philosophy. Some are more heroic than others, but all band together in times of trouble to thwart major threats. Belonging to a faction sometimes means having responsibilities, but it also carries with it support and rewards for service. If you ever switch factions or leave a faction, you lose all ranks and renown with the old faction, and must start at rank 1 with zero renown with your new faction.
Gather information throughout Faern. Promote fairness and equality by covert means. Thwart tyrants and leaders, governments, and organizations that grow too powerful. Aid the weak, poor and oppressed. One can never have too much information or arcane knowledge.
Too much power leads to corruption. The abuse of magic, in particular, must be closely monitored. No one should be powerless. Harper agents are trained to act alone and rely on their own resources. When they get into scrapes, they dont count on their fellow Harpers to rescue them. Nevertheless, Harpers are dedicated to helping one another in times of need, and friendships between Harpers are nigh unbreakable. Masterful spies and infiltrators, they use various guises and secret identities to form relationships, cultivate their information networks, and manipulate others into doing what needs to be done.
Although most Harpers prefer to operate in the shadows, there are exceptions. The organization is honorable, vigilant, and zealous. Clerics, monks, and paladins of good and often lawful good alignments are commonly drawn to the Order of the Gauntlet. The organization is decentralized, hardy, and reclusive.
Barbarians, druids, and rangers of good or neutral alignments are commonly drawn to the Emerald Enclave. Be armed and vigilant against evil. Identify evil threats such as secretive power groups and inherently evil creatures. Enforce justice. Enact retribution against evil actionsdo not strike preemptively. Faith is the greatest weapon against evilfaith in ones god, ones friends, and ones self.
Battling evil is an extraordinary task that requires extraordinary strength and bravery. Punishing an evil act is just. Punishing an evil thought is not. The Order of the Gauntlet is a dedicated, tightly knit group of like-minded individuals driven by religious zeal or a finely honed sense of justice and honor. Friendship and camaraderie are important to members of the order, and they share a trust and a bond normally reserved for siblings. Like highly motivated soldiers, members of the Order of the Gauntlet seek to become the best at what they do and look forward to testing their mettle.
There are few, if any, lone wolves in this organization. Restore and preserve the natural order. Destroy all that is unnatural. Keep the elemental forces of the world in check. Keep civilization and the wilderness from destroying each other.
The natural order must be respected and preserved. Forces that upset the natural order must be destroyed. Civilization and the wilderness must learn to coexist peacefully. Members of the Emerald Enclave are spread far and wide, and usually operate in isolation. They learn to depend on themselves more than others. Survival in a harsh world also demands great fortitude and mastery of certain fighting and survival skills.
Members of the Enclave who dedicate themselves to helping others survive the perils of the wilderness are more social than others who are charged with defending sacred glades and preserving the natural balance. Springwarden rank 1 Summerstrider rank 2 Autumnreaver rank 3 Winterstalker rank 4 Master of the Wild rank 5. The organization is aggressive, militant, and political.
Fighters and sorcerers of lawful or neutral alignments are commonly drawn to the Lords Alliance. The organization is ambitious, opportunistic, and meritocratic.
Ensure the safety and prosperity of cities and other settlements of Faern. Maintain a strong coalition against the forces of disorder. Proactively eliminate threats to the established powers. Bring honor and glory to ones leaders and ones homeland. If civilization is to survive, all must unite against the dark forces that threaten it. Fight for your realm. Only you can bring honor, glory, and prosperity to your lord and homeland.
Dont wait for the enemy to come to you. The best defense is a strong offense. In order to seek out and destroy threats to their homelands, agents of the Lords Alliance must be highly trained at what they do.
Few can match their skills in the field. They fight for the glory and the security of their people and for the lords who rule over them, and they do so with pride. However, the Lords Alliance can only survive if its members play nice with one another, which requires a certain measure of diplomacy. Rogue agents within the Lords Alliance are rare, but defections have been known to occur. Cloak rank 1 Redknife rank 2 Stingblade rank 3 Warduke rank 4 Lioncrown rank 5.
Amass wealth. Look for opportunities to seize power. Gain influence over important people and organizations. Dominate Faern.
The Zhentarim is your family. You watch out for it, and it watches out for you. You are the master of your own destiny. Never be less than what you deserve to be. Everythingand everyonehas a price. A member of the Zhentarim thinks of himself or herself as a member of a large family, and relies on the Black Network for resources and security. However, members are granted enough autonomy to pursue their own interests and gain some measure of personal power or influence.
The Black Network is a meritocracy. As a whole, it promises the best of the best, although in truth, the Zhentarim is more interested in spreading its own propaganda and influence than investing in the improvement of its individual members.
Faction Advancement and Benefits As a character allied with one of the factions goes on adventures, he or she earns renown for accomplishing tasks that align with the factions goals.
This is expressed in the awarding of renown points at the end of an episode or adventure. Completion usually earns 0 renown no interest to the faction , 1 renown some interest to the faction , or 2 renown great interest to the faction.
