D&D 5E lost mine of phandelver

I was sure it used to be free on their site along with the pregens and small selection of monsters but I could be wrong.

No, the adventure itself has never been available as a PDF. The basic rules included with the adventure in the D&D Starter Set is available on WotC's site: https://media.wizards.com/2020/dnd/downloads/dnd_starter_rulebook.pdf

Well, of course they do. It's appalling, the hoops we need to go through to run a free adventure to bring new players into their game. I don't really want to use my tablet to run a game, but oh well.

I've written and deleted about seven different responses to that. I just don't know what to say.

I remember that during the COVID Lockdowns it was available in PDF, but my memory is not perfect.

I'm sure that the Italian WotC gave it for free, in PDF form, for newsletter subscriber during the 2021 or 2022. I don't knwo if other languages had this privilege too.

I know. It's like when my boss at work told me to stop using the company printer to make color copies of the 300 page PDFs I found online pirated for free. The nerve of him. It wasn't like I was going to just stand by the printer and wait- I was going to do other things while waiting.

I only know what happened in the US; I don't know what may have happened in other countries.

Anyone know how/where I can download this adventure? Whenever I try on D&D Beyond, it directs me to Storm King's Thunder.

It's free.

It was briefly free on Roll20 as a sort of lockdown gift from WotC, not sure if that is still the case. Never seen is as a PDF or anything easier to access. You can still buy the original starter set that it was part of though and it isn't that expensive.

The rulebook for the Starter Set and characters are available as a PDF from WotC.

And if you want a dodgy PDF of the adventure it is easy to find on a Google search.
