D&D 5E Exclusive D&D Next Campaign available at Gen Con Only

[smerwin29]

Is this material related to the DnD Next mini-campaign at Gencon (the multi-day event) they were promoting a couple of weeks back?

Yes, I believe so. The All-Access event will feature content from the book. The Candlekeep Delve event is completely different.

I don't know why anyone would want it honestly. Pay 30 bucks for an adventure whose rules will be out of date soon after, no thanks.

Anyone that completist should get themselves checked for OCD.

Adventures can be played with any rules system (usually with minimal conversion).

Bruce Cordell has a pretty good track record as an adventure writer (4e possibly excepted).

I am hoping this is not related to the multi-day next event. I have missed many events ranging from past Gencons to Encounters seasons and told that they would not reprint the material -- because they want it to be a unique treat to participants. If I signed up for an event, scheduled and committed ahead for the limited event and found out that it would be sold as a book the same day... I would be annoyed. That is petty jealousy, though. I would have no problem if they reprinted the material (or posted it online) 6-12 months later; as I wish they would do with Encounters.

However, if they sell a book of adventures during the same weekend as the event itself -- that would be a BIG mistake.

I like the art, but I keep thinking "what are the characters doing? Is the dwarf hitting the air? What's happening with the eyes of the two figures with staves? What is the elf aiming at? Is the fighter ordering a charge off the cliff? Who is the rogue dodging?"

Have you forgotten the title? It's Ghost of Dragonspear Castle

I think the image is indeed a wraparound cover, the back half depicting the red dragon that shows in the News page.

I don't think I've got the angle quite correct. Also there are still missing pieces.

 

[jonesy]

I don't see how the angle could even be correct. Those pictures are in a weird perspective. It's like the dragon is attacking from their side, and they are just looking at something else off camera (paintbrush) in another direction.

I think there are other dragons we can't see yet. That dragon is OK for at least one of the characters.
