As a seasoned player and dungeon master, I’ve had the pleasure of running and playing through numerous pre-made adventures (formerly known as modules) over the years, each one providing its own unique challenges and rewards. These are adventures that were created by the Dungeons and Dragons team. In this post, I’ll be sharing my top picks for the best first party pre-made adventures. I prefer making my own adventures now but if you are a new Dungeon Master, this is a great way to get a feel for the game and have a bit more stress-free way to prepare.

First on my list is Curse of Strahd. This module takes players to the Gothic horror realm of Barovia, where they must face off against the infamous vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich. This module is perfect for players who enjoy a dark and eerie atmosphere, as they navigate a world shrouded in fog and terror.

Next up is Tomb of Annihilation which takes players to the jungle region of Chult where they must delve deep into the titular tomb in search of a cure for a mysterious disease. This module is packed with deadly traps, puzzles, and creatures, making it a great challenge for seasoned players.

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is another fantastic module adventure that takes players on a quest for a massive treasure hoard hidden within the city of Waterdeep. Along the way, they’ll encounter political intrigue, gangs, and dragons, all while trying to stay one step ahead of their rivals. This module is perfect for players who enjoy a mix of dungeon-crawling and social encounters.

For those who prefer a more classic adventure, Storm King’s Thunder is a must-play adventure. This adventure takes players on a journey to save the realm from rampaging giants, culminating in an epic battle against the storm giant king himself. This module is perfect for players who enjoy high-fantasy battles and exploring vast landscapes.

Last but not least, Out of the Abyss is a thrilling module that takes players deep into the Underdark, where they must escape from the clutches of demon lords and navigate a twisted landscape of caverns and tunnels. This module is perfect for players who enjoy a challenge and don’t mind the darker side of D&D.

In conclusion, there are many fantastic module adventures available in Dungeons and Dragons, each one offering a unique experience for players to enjoy. Whether you prefer classic high-fantasy battles or dark and twisted horror, there’s something for everyone in the world of D&D modules. So gather your party, grab your dice, and get ready for an adventure you’ll never forget
