The adventures linked from this page are older adventures that were released during calendar years 2008-2010. These adventures were compliant with the core rules at the time they were written, but have not been updated to comply with the many rule changes and improvements that D&D 4th Edition has undergone over the years. In general, the Year 1 (1-X) adventures were written with the original 4E rulebooks, and the Year 2 (2-X) adventures were written after the first major wave of rules updates that came with DMG2. You should double-check these adventures when it comes to things like Essentials DCs, MM3 damage expressions, and so forth. DMs are empowered to adjust older adventures as needed (particularly where monster stats and skill DCs are concerned) to ensure an enjoyable play experience.
This page is an attempt to accurately and completely chronicle every LFR adventure that has ever been released or that has ever been scheduled for release (not every scheduled adventure makes it to completion, for a wide variety of reasons). If an adventure is listed on this page, but there is no link to download that adventure, the following status codes apply:

These adventures are designed to be played by groups where most or all of the PCs at the table are members of the same Adventuring Company. (For more information about forming your own Adventuring Company, see the LFR Meta-Organization Guide.) We also classify Battle Interactives as Adventuring Company adventures.
Adventures with the code ADCP are restricted to public events only (such as conventions, game days, and retail store events); they are not sanctioned for private (home) play. To obtain these adventures, you must contact the campaign staff using the LFR Public-Play Adventure Request form. For more information, see this blog post.

Mini-Campaigns are designed to serve as an entry point for new LFR players while also offering something interesting for veterans. We recommend that you create a new 1st-level character when starting a mini-campaign, but you aren't required to do so. The Year 1 mini-campaign is set in Returned Abeir; the Year 2 mini-campaign is set in Ravens Bluff. The two mini-campaigns are not connected, but within each campaign, you should make every effort to play the adventures in the order listed, because the story of each adventure assumes that you have played the previous adventures in that series.

My Realms adventure packets allow DMs to create and run their own adventures as part of the Living Forgotten Realms campaign. Each packet includes blank story awards (including a form-fillable version). Please remember that only the author of a My Realms adventure is permitted to run it - these adventures may not be published, offered to the general public, or distributed.
Effective 20 April 2011, the Year 1 (MYRE1-X) and Year 2 (MYRE2-X) My Realms adventure packets have been retired. They are replaced by MYRE3-1 (which covers the entire Heroic tier) and MYRE3-2 (which covers the entire Paragon tier). Older My Realms adventures should be updated to the new guidelines, converting the high/low tier from the previous level bands to Adventure Levels (there are five ALs per tier). To be clear, a My Realms adventure is not required to include support for an entire tier of play! The supported ALs are entirely up to the author (chosen from the normal ALs for each tier permitted by the campaign rules). Regardless of Adventure Level, My Realms tables still have to be legal according to the rules for choosing to play a particular AL found in the LFR Campaign Guide.

Note: The physical RPGA Rewards Cards unlocking these quest adventures are no longer required for LFR play. However, each character at the table must have completed the prerequisite tasks in order to go on the Quest Adventure. Please refer to the LFR Campaign Guide for details.

Special adventures (sometimes referred to as Core Specials) are designed to be challenging, but fair and fun, experiences where the players must work together in order to successfully complete the entire adventure within the time limit. These adventures always premiere at major conventions, so the real-world slot time is usually a significant design consideration (as a rule of thumb, we put in about 120% of the content that a normal LFR adventure of the same length would have; the idea is that a group that is really on their game can make it through, but less-effective groups might not). Special adventures generally give greater rewards (in terms of XP and treasure) than other LFR adventures do, and are generally more difficult than a typical adventure (this might be due to harder combats, more combats, or other elements of the adventure that pose challenges of a different sort than those normally encountered in LFR).
Special adventures are sanctioned for both public and private play, and it's up to each individual group whether or not to faithfully follow the restrictions in a given Special (such as a real-world time limit). The LFR police aren't going to come to your house and take away your dice if your group prefers to spend 12 hours so that you can fully experience all the potential encounters or maximize your rewards from what was intended to be an 8-hour Special with a hard stop. Just don't go bragging about your accomplishment. :)
The rules for replaying adventures in LFR are a little bit confusing when you compare adventures that support multiple tiers of play (such as ADCP1-1 and ADCP2-1) with those that are based on the same theme but where the different tiers are broken out as different adventures (such as SPEC1-3 and SPEC2-1). If a single adventure supports multiple level bands or tiers, it is not legal to replay that adventure with the same character (but you as a player can play it multiple times with different characters). For example, ADCP2-1 The Paladins' Plague supports the H1 through P2 level bands, but it is one adventure (the H1 encounters are the same as the P2 encounters, other than different stat blocks), so each character can only play it once. SPEC2-1, on the other hand, is really five different adventures (the H1 adventure is totally different from the H2 adventure, which is totally different from the H3 adventure, and so forth). The five SPEC2-1 adventures take place at the same time from a story perspective, but the rules of the campaign do not prohibit the same character from playing each of the five SPEC2-1 adventures (assuming the character is of the appropriate level when each adventure is played). The way you can tell whether same-character replay is legal is simply this: if the adventure is delivered as a single file and there are multiple sets of stat blocks in that single file, you can't replay that adventure with the same character. If there are separate adventure files, you can play through each of those individual adventures with the same character, if you want. If you have questions, please post on the LFR Community Forum.
| SPEC1-01 Shades of the Zhentarim | by Shawn Merwin and M. Sean Molley | Levels 1-4 (H1) | Download (ZIP) |
| Note: This is a two-round (eight-hour) adventure and should be played before playing SPEC1-2 if at all possible. | |||
| SPEC1-02 Zhent's Ancient Shadow | by Shawn Merwin and M. Sean Molley | Levels 7-10 (H3) | Download (ZIP) |
| Note: This is a two-round (eight-hour) adventure and is intended to be played as a sequel to SPEC1-1 (with the assumption that some time has passed in both the game world and the real world, obviously). There is (at least) one encounter in this adventure that has become rather infamous among LFR players. Feel free to use DME as needed, or run it as written so your players can have their own stories to tell about it. For an excellent but spoiler-ific dissection of this encounter by one of the two authors responsible for it, read this blog post. | |||

| SPEC1-03-P1 Ghosts of the Past: Dark Portal | by Dave Kay | Levels 11-14 (P1) | LFR Adventure Archive |
| Ghosts of the Past comprises four separate adventures, each of which represents a mission upon which the PCs are sent by the ruler of Myth Drannor. Story-wise the most likely situation is that all four of these adventures occur at the same time, but we deliberately included a reward that PCs can only get by playing the different versions of this adventure at different level bands. Some players choose to play each version of SPEC1-3 with a different character, others choose to play each new adventure with the same character as that character reaches the appropriate level band. The choice is up to you. | |||

| The five adventures that were collectively released as SPEC2-01 are intended to be played as prequels to the Battle Interactive ADCP2-1 The Paladins' Plague. Story-wise they all occur at roughly the same time and the intent was that any given character would only play one of these five adventures (but a single player could play all five, using a different character for each). Unlike SPEC1-3, there is no reward for playing more than one of the SPEC2-1 adventures, and as we were not particularly clear about how the series was intended to work at the time we released the SPEC2-1 adventures, many players have chosen to play more than one of the SPEC2-1 adventures with the same character when that character reaches each appropriate level band. No real harm is done by this, so it's up to you whether to accept the temporal paradox or not. | |||
