It has what so many people want from their first D&D game: it has both a dragon and dungeons, it includes a slimmed-down ruleset, and there’s pre-generated characters to get started with. Lost Mine of Phandelver is many a player and DM’s entry point into Dungeons & Dragons. I’m not alone in loving this setting and story. I love that its title is the Mandela Effect of TTRPGs: are there two lost mines or just one? Maybe there’s one officially lost mine, but the other (hence “Lost Mines of Phandelver”) is just like super lost. It’s the first thing I successfully DMed in fifth edition, and it’s the basis-however wildly interpreted-for The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins, my favorite arc in the popular podcast by Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy from My Brother, My Brother and Me and their dad Clint McElroy.
