Face the Might of Dragons in 10 Epic Adventures
There’s nothing quite like the moment a dragon appears before your players’ characters. Even while still growing, these primordial beings wrought from the very fabric of creation are mighty, majestic, and terrifying. When they reach the pinnacle of their power, they could be the greatest foes a party will ever face.
With Dragon Delves, your party will contend or ally with these draconic forces in 10 dragon-themed adventures for characters level 1 through 12. Each of these ready-to-run adventures is set in a distinctive location with a dragon lair, unique regional threats, and plot points designed to pull your players into the intrigue surrounding the dragon’s territory.
Your party will find themselves exploring pirate coves, frozen caverns, and bread-making bakeries in their adventures as they seek to hunt, help, or hinder the draconic denizens included in each story.
DMing Has Never Been Easier
Each adventure in this book opens with a new page designed to help DMs run their session smoothly with minimal preparation. This overview section highlights the key plot points of the story, outlines the steps you’ll need to get ready—including a list of any Monster Manual stat blocks required—and provides a table of important NPCs, summarizing their names, roles, locations, and relevant stat blocks to keep everything organized during play.
Whether you’re a veteran Dungeon Master or a player who’s running their first session in the DM’s chair, you’ll have everything you need to prep and run your adventure!
Expedite Your Prep with the Maps VTT
The D&D Beyond digital version of this book also comes with Stickers and 22 play-ready maps for use on D&D Beyond’s virtual tabletop, Maps. This allows Master Tier subscribers to generate a digital playspace complete with monster tokens, fog of war, and stickers with a single click!
An Adventure for Each Type of Dragon
While silver dragons may be the consorts to rulers, red dragons are more apt to burn their kingdoms to the ground.
Within each of the adventures in Dragon Delves, your party will encounter a different type of dragon—and the tone of the quest very much depends on the type of dragon it spotlights. Your party may request the help of a copper dragon to reclaim a lost verse, or they might have to navigate the dangers of a corrupted cove ruled by a cunning black dragon.
Craft a Campaign or Drop in a One-Shot
The modular adventures in Dragon Delves are a flexible resource for your game night. They can be run as standalone one-shot adventures or dropped into an existing campaign as filler episodes. The book even provides multiple options to help DMs link the adventures together to form a full campaign that takes characters from level 1 all the way to an epic finale at level 12.
A Trove of Dragon Art and Lore
See dragons in a new light with striking and unique art styles from 10 accomplished illustrators and 7 cartographers. This art reflects each adventure’s distinctive tone, from fairy-tale gingerbread men to retro black-and-white epics and psychedelic githyanki.
Each chapter also kicks off with a history of the art of that particular dragon through the annals of D&D history. You’ll come across art and lore from the early days of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and behind-the-scenes looks at the dragon redesigns in the new Monster Manual.
These presentations not only show the evolution of dragons through D&D’s history, but also points of continuity that distinguish each type of dragon from its peers.
