Adventurers League

The Adventurers League is Wizards of the Coast's flagship organized play program for the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

The Adventurers League is a continuation of the D&D Encounters program that was part of the fourth edition experience. Stores that are members of the Wizards Play Network can submit reports on the results of adventures, just like they could during the Encounters program, but are no longer beholden to a weekly schedule.

Since the Forgotten Realms is the core campaign setting for fifth edition, the Adventurers League is set within that world. Designed to tie in with the published campaigns, modules made for the League have an overarching plotline that links to the campaign arc currently being focused on. Nomenclature for the module titles indicate that they will be released in seasons. Presumably, these will coincide with changes in the main campaign.

The Adventurers League reintroduces factions into the game - not seen since the Legacy of the Green Regent RPGA campaign. Players are encouraged to join one of five factions based on their class and alignment which will lead to special sidequests and rewards. The five factions are:


 * The Emerald Enclave
 * The Harpers
 * The Lords' Alliance
 * The Order of the Gauntlet
 * The Zhentarim

Modules
The current crop (at time of writing) of modules are related to the Tyranny of Dragons campaign and are primarily set in the city of Phlan, though there is also a module set on the Sword Coast.
