Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Act 1

Welcome back to Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk! Since this is an off week, in an effort to make things as organized and easily accessible as possible, I've decided to create a post that compiles the entirety of Act 1 for Phandelver and Below. Each link takes you directly to the DM Notes. The Complete Collection download has every single file from parts 1-5. This will be accessible only to Heroes and up in order to make your lives easier and to thank you for being a part of this growing community of Heroes, and Legends! Thank you all so much; without your support, none of this would be possible!!!

Campaign Info: As of March 2024 I've officially completed Act One of Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk! I've discussed this on Discord as well as answered a few questions and thought I would clarify some information here; campaigns are super time intensive, so I have to choose wisely which ones I prep. The first half PaB:TSO is just an updated version of The Lost Mine of Phandelver which I had already fully prepped; so I thought I would go through all my prep and update it to match and help all those who are starting to run the campaign! I may one day prep the second half; however, I'm trying to focus on the more popular Campaigns such as Curse of Strahd, before I work on others.

With what I've released, you'll have a great kickstart through most of the campaign and there are plenty of helpful members on the Discord that can guide you along the rest of the way! I hope that with what I've prepped so far you can have a truly Amazing campaign!!!
