D&D® ADVENTURERS LEAGUE

DUNGEONCRAFT DESIGN GUIDE

Effective Date: May 2025. Version 1.9b
You can create your own Dungeons & Dragons® adventures for many of the D&D Adventurers League
Campaigns. Each campaign has slightly different selections of Resource books, useable monsters, and magic
items rewards. However, there are some aspects that are the same for all Dungeoncraft adventures. The first
section of this document addresses those issues, followed by sections unique to each campaign. To create your
adventure, you also need the adventure template and style guides used for the Dungeoncraft program.
Familiarize yourself with the D&D Adventurers League Player's Guide and D&D Adventurers League DM's
Guide.* D&D Adventurers League Resources & Links can be found in the D&D Beyond forum. Community
members on the official D&D Discord server have early access to guidance updates and an opportunity to review
documents before their release on D&D Beyond.
