General Information
Adventurers League (AL) is the official D&D organized play system (also called a shared campaign). It allows you to create a D&D character, play a game with one DM, then take that same character to another table and play with a different DM. That single character gains gold, levels, and treasure along the way.
Adventurers League is very popular at game conventions and local game stores. But there are also many Discord servers that host AL games too.

D&D Beyond Website
The D&D Beyond Website holds some Adventurers League resources. However, the information there is often out of date.
Legends of Greyhawk
It’s a separate organized play system and is not related to Adventurers League.
- Rules may be different.
- Characters cannot cross between the two systems.
- Again, it’s a separate and distinct system and has nothing to do with Adventurers League.
D&D Encounters
