DDAL Lost Tales of Myth Drannor: DDAL's "Secret" D&D Book For Gen Con 50

Lost Tales of Myth Drannor is an official D&D Adventurers League book containing six adventures for characters of levels 1-20. It is billed as a promo for Gen Con's 50th anniversary, although it will eventually appear on the DMs Guild -- from DDAL's Greg Marks: "It is a book that is a promo for GC50 and cons the admins are invited to. It will eventually appear on the DMsGuild."

It will eventually appear on the DMsGuild."

Greg also added that "When initially released some are being distributed by BMG at Gen Con (I can't speak to how) and some by admins as promos" and that its appearance on DMsGuild would be "some months later.... PDF and possibly POD".

He added later that "I can't speak to what the BMG folks will be doing with their allotment, but the admins that are there will have some as well (myself, Claire and Alan are attending). The first print run of Super Secret Project 76 (not its real name) will be used by the admins as a promo item that we hand out at cons we go to (an actual book is a pretty awesome promo!). It will eventually go up on the DMsGuild as well, though not immediately. I will continue to tease more info on my twitter (@Skerrit7h3green) up until it is released on August 17th."

I like this idea.

Giving out free adventures at GenCon is okay, but putting them in the Guild later is great. Especially if they're PoD.

People printing their own doesn't make getting it as a rare exclusive less cool. Getting one at a con is still exclusive and exciting. But people who couldn't make it to a convention due to work or family (or losing the GenCon housing lottery) aren't losing out and forced to troll eBay.

Or living in another country...

WOTC donated the cover art and IP at no charge, but truthfully they never budgeted for this so I wouldn't expect them to pay anything. We are grateful that not only did they give us Myth Drannor, but they even gave us the beautiful cover art. This was an idea the Admins a bit last minute, so we asked if we could do it and not only did they say yes, they actually gave us a more valuable area to play in than we requested because they were so supported and happy with our initiative.

As for if we will recoup anything from the DMsGuild, we haven't decided. Its possible, but we might also put any profits into an account so we might do something like this again in a few years when we build up enough money. Once we work out the possibility of POD, we'll decide what happens with anything else after that.

Is this Lost Tales of Myth Drannar Canon or Fanon?
 



I'm jobless and my car was recently stolen so, I won't be making GenCon this year but, I just wanted to let you admins all know that this was a really nice gesture on your part. You all really go out of your way to help the community and especially you Skerrit, have always taken the time to answer questions about Adventurer's League. To work so hard in what you all do and be able to have this wonderful Myth Drannor book for GenCon is just leaps and bounds above anything we expected.

Thank you for contributing so much to the community. Having organized and played since Raven's Bluff and Living Greyhawk I personally feel that AL is one of the reasons 5E is so popular now. Not to mention accesible. You admins had a lot to do with that especially taking all of our feedback to make many positive changes as the seasons went on. It's improved gameplay greatly here in Madison, Wisconsin.

Looking forward to the future of AL and D&D!
