There are quests! Dungeons! A Dragon! What more can you ask in a D&D adventure?
Hi, I'm opening up a campaign for 3-6 1st level characters.
Your character will be someone who has traveled to the booming frontier town of Phandalin, hearing of its need for fresh adventurers after the Heroes of the Mine left the area.
Any WotC published stuff is good although the Phandalin area may not have seen some of the newer races.
Standard starting Equipment by class and level, or roll for gold in thread and buy everything.

Hearing the rumors, Rohani set off for the town of Phandalin.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Class(Subclass or Intended Subclass if Applicable): paladin - probably oath of glory
Background: Uthgardt tribe member
Brief Backstory: Syr Proserpina is stoutly built and, while more handsome than pretty, there is a certain charisma about her despite a claw mark scar across her face, and the line tattoos of the northern tribes. She stands head and shoulders above most of her fellow humans. She was chosen from among her people by the great Silver dragon Frynderssur, to be one of her knights-errant. "But, I must prove I'm worthy of her choice."
Class(Subclass or Intended Subclass if Applicable): Clockwork Sorcerer
Background: Guild Artisan
Brief Backstory: Thufir is old for an adventurer -- even for a Dwarf. He spent his life in his family's jewelry business. While he was a fine craftsman, he was an even more skilled salesman, persuasive and charming -- rare among his people. While working on designs he stumbled across some strange texts full of complicated geometric forms. Upon viewing these texts something in him just clicked and he realized the power and importance of order in the universe. He left his home to search the world for evidence of the divine order of the universe
Character Name: Void Race(Subrace): Tiefling Class(Subclass or Intended Subclass if Applicable): Shadow Sorcerer Background: Failed Merchant Ability Scores: (If rolled only, if using point buy or default array, notate that.) Used point buy
Brief Backstory: (1-3 Sentences.) When Void was younger he would help the general store owner around her shop and swore that one day when he was old enough he'd open his own shop and hopefully do just as well as Estelle (the store owner) did. When he wasn't helping around the store he would sneak off to one of the abandoned houses in town and attempt to brew various types of alcohol, although most attempts to do so failed miserably until a man named Vladimir showed up and offered to teach him a thing or two. As time passed Void and Vladimir started to work together, Vladimir would make the product and Void would occasionally give out free samples before selling their concoctions to nearby Inns and Taverns. So when Vladimir fell ill their initial business didn't take that long to fail but Void promised to find a way to help keep food on the table for his family.
Class(Subclass or Intended Subclass if Applicable): Sorcerer (Aberrant Mind)
Background: Courtier
Ability Scores: Ability scores: 15161291214

Character Name: Gar Bloodhowl Race(Subrace): Hobgoblin Class(Subclass or Intended Subclass if Applicable): Battle Master Fighter Background: Criminal (Mercenary) Ability Scores: Ability scores: 7714121314
Backstory: Gar was once a member of a warrior clan. Due to his father's status in the clan, his family was deeply trenched in various politics regarding who would become the clans next leader. In the end, he volunteered to fight on his father's behalf as a proxy, and during the fight he was forced to use dirty tactics to win due to an old injury. He defeated his opponent, but he did so without honor. His father ultimately became the new leader of the clan, but promptly exiled Gar citing him as a coward due to his conduct. Gar has traveled the world ever since, looking for mercenary work from whoever is willing to hire him. He cares nothing for honor. After all, what good is honor if you're dead?

Character Name:Intervener Race(Subrace): warforged Class(Subclass or Intended Subclass if Applicable):Fighter (cavalier) Background: city watchmen/retired soldier Ability Scores: point buy 16 14 17 10 8 8
Brief Backstory: Intervener or Inter to his few friends was a soldier built during the last war, and he saw endless conflict on the front line. The only warforged in his unit he was tasked with defending his weaker flesh and blood counter-parts and was well suited to the task. Unfortunately the war dragged on for years and no matter how many times he intervened and saved one comrade he could never save them all. One by one they perished until he alone followed out his units orders. The wars end was a mixed blessing, no longer forced to watch comrades die but left without the purpose fresh orders presented. The question remained what to do now, after hearing a city watchmen ordering his subordinates Inter signed up immediately, and was enrolled just as fast when the watch captain realized his utility as a night watchman.
