Continuing a published adventure
Explore tips for customizing D&D published campaigns, grab my updated adventure, and join my online session!
I, like many other DMs, got started running campaigns using officially published D&D books. One of the most popular of these for 5th Edition is Lost Mines of Phandelver, which was in the Starter Set and also available for free on D&D Beyond.
But just like a lot of DMs my aspirations went beyond playing other people's adventures. I wanted to make my own! That can be a daunting task, so I did a bit of both with the first few campaigns I ran. I started from a published adventure and expanded on it with my own ideas, quests, characters, and locations.
In this post from my archive I broke down a few tips on doing this in any published adventure as well as some specifically for Lost Mines of Phandelver. Take a read here:
Trouble in Waterlily on DriveThruRPG
I've updated my first adventure Trouble in Waterlily and uploaded it on DriveThruRPG! It's a beginner-focus D&D 5e adventure and should also be straightforward enough for new GMs to run.
It's totally free and comes with maps and both a PDF and Markdown copy. The adventure is also still available as a web version on the sidequesters.club website.
Go grab it at DriveThruRPG!

Deck of many links
I'm getting into zine printing for some future adventures so did a test layout and print of Trouble in Waterlily in a zine format.
So this weeks links are some resources about zines!
- DIY Guide: Making a High-Quality Saddle-Stitched Zine at Home
- How To Make A TTRPG Zine!
- The Easiest 1-Page Zine You Can Make
That's all for me this week!
