The Encounter modules for each Season are the beginning of each books, normally enough of the book is made free through Encounters to get characters to 5th level. But if you want to continue the adventure after that, you have to buy the book.

This is why, btw, I do not let Adventurers League characters easily switch back-and-forth between Expeditions and Encounters.

No more why does this published mod take place in this town that was entirely destroyed last season in OP sorts of situations.   Greg Marks Associate Resource Manager
