A new D&D anthology with twelve adventures for tiers 1 and 2 is now available on DMsGuild!*

This anthology is perfect for introducing someone—or a few people!—to D&D. Though the adventures inside were not written for duets, you can check out our suggestions here for scaling encounters for one-on-one play.

Many community content creators worked together to make this project a reality, including one of our DnD Duet authors!

The anthology is available for $14.95 on DMsGuild.*

Roots of the Elkmire

Among other incredible adventures in this volume, you’ll find one of Beth’s two favorite adventures she’s ever written: Roots of the Elkmire.

And friends, this one is dark! (In a really good way!)

If you enjoyed In the Heart of the Forest* and would like a similarly atmospheric adventure with an even more challenging villain, then Roots of the Elkmire is for you!

In this level-seven adventure, the party enters a remote village in the distant mountains where ancient lore and superstition still hold sway. There, deep inside the Elkmire Forest, a consummate hunter enacts the forest’s will in service as its spirit guardian—the leshen.

Will they be able to save a young girl sacrificed to the forest and return her safely to her desperate brother? Or will they join the ranks of those the Elkmire has taken for its own?

The Anthology Includes:

  • 12 blood-themed adventures across multiple genres!
  • Over 40 new creatures!
  • 16 new magic items!
  • 6 new bloody spells!
