Dungeon Delve is a collection of thirty short adventures or "delves" for the 4th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game that was published by Wizards of the Coast (WotC) in 2009.
At early games conventions, small adventures designed to demonstrate a new role-playing game were called "delves."[1] Dungeon Delve is a collection of mini-adventures for D&D characters of levels 1-30, with one adventure for each level. The adventures are designed to provide a gamemaster with an "instant adventure" that can be completed in one session. These would be either for sessions where the gamemaster does not have anything prepared,[1] or to supplement the gamemaster's campaign.[2]
Each adventure takes up six pages,[2] with an introduction to the player's mission, the actual adventure, maps of the various encounter areas — and advice on how to adapt each map to WotC's Dungeon Tiles — and hints on how the gamemaster can flesh out the adventure. Each adventure includes three combat encounters with standard D&D monsters. Tactical advice on how to handle the combat is also included.[2]
