When times get tough, adventuring with your friends and rolling natural 20s amid perilous encounters is a thrilling and nerdy way to escape the real world. At least, that’s how my new group of Dungeons & Dragons adventurers feels about our freshman romp through...wherever the heck we are. (I should have been taking notes.)


While it’s easy enough to find a free online crash-course covering the basics of Dungeons & Dragons, picking the right adventure is also critical. Whether you’re giving D&D a go for the first time or you and your group are questing about for fresh content to explore, make sure you’re hitting up Wizards of the Coast’s website all this week and next: The company is releasing free adventures and resources for players to use every single day—even coloring pages, if you’d rather illustrate a monster than battle one in a dungeon.


And don’t fret: It might be Thursday already, but you can still download everything WOTC has offered so far. The bounty of digital goods includes the following campaigns and other bonuses:

WOTC hasn’t said when it’ll stop offering the free goods; so far, they’ve advised checking in regularly through at least April 17 to collect your daily spoils. However, the company notes that certain offerings are time-limited, so it’s worth downloading everything right now, even if you’re already in the middle of a campaign (or two).

Additionally, plenty of other free D&D content can be found elsewhere. This includes the free Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure, which you’ll find on Roll20, as well as the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount. Do a little digging online and you’ll find plenty of other creative content, too—free adventures, free maps for your campaigns (and free tools to draw them), free character generators, and free tabletop gaming apps (for the time being).


In other words, there’s really no reason why you can’t start a super-fun Dungeons & Dragons adventure with your friends right now, and all for the low cost of nothing. Have your Dungeon Master make some miniatures out of Legos; pull up your favorite video chat software; and roll well, champions.
