I was at a local convention this past weekend (Gary Con) and had an opportunity to play some 5E Adventurer's League. It was my first exposure to 5E as I haven't played since v3.5. That said, I was a huge RPGA player and have played a little PathFinder so I'm familiar with Organized Play to some extent.

I was told at the convention that you can play these Adventurers League adventures at home but the site isn't too clear on this. I was able to find some old postings that indicated they'd be available with new releases. Does this mean I am just buying the module at a store and then referring to the supplemental material online for character creation? I assume there are certificates like existed with RPGA but I haven't seen these. Are they provided with the purchased modules?

My confusion stems from the fact that I was told we could download modules from their site and use them at home. I have not been able to find these. Thanks for helping an old DM get reacquainted.

The article D&D Adventurers League Content Open To All announced where and when they are releasing Adventurer's League content to everyone, not just organized play.

From the above link:

We also listened to the D&D fans who wanted more bite-sized adventures to pick up and play with their group in a pinch. All of the adventures created for the D&D Adventurers League going forward will be available to all fans of D&D. The Dungeon Masters Guild is now the hub for distributing D&D Adventurers League content. You can download PDFs of the adventures released periodically for a just a few dollars. Check out what’s available right now from previous Adventurer’s League seasons at dungeonmasterguild.com.

You can purchase previous content at the Dungeon Masters Guild website.

As well as having all previous Adventurers League content available to buy from the Dungeon Masters Guild, there have been a few released for free through the Dragon+ online magazine.

  • DDEX3-1 Harried in Hillsfar in Issue 3
  • DDEX3-2 Shackles of Blood in Issue 4
  • DDEX3-3 The Occupation of Szith Morcane in Issue 5

As far as certificates and official recognition of home play, I'm not sure. I know the Beginners Box adventure can be used for AL advancement, but I am unsure about any others. Before this recent release of AL content to all, it was a condition that AL play be done in a public forum (eg store, convention, online).
