Hey, This Is A Really Cool Red Dragon’s Battle Sword From Medieval Collectibles

Dungeons & Dragons: Lost Mine Of Phandelver – A Great Beginner Campaign
"The Lost Mine of Phandelver" is a great Dungeons & Dragons campaign for beginners. Don't believe me? It's included with the D&D Starter Set for a reason. It offers an interesting story, challenging (but not too hard) combat, and just enough hand-holding to be...
