WotC did the same with Spelljammer, with Volume 1 of the Monstrous Compendium.

Well, there's the whole FRC-1 Ruins of Adventure from 1E that covers Phlan from the Pool of Radiance video game...

Phlan and Phandalin are two different places around 2000 miles apart.

 

[R_J_K75]

Er, now that I look, it appears so. I thought Phlan and Phandalin were the same place, I see they're not.

Still, uproot that sucker and put it where you want, it's still in FR!

True its easily done.

Just curious, where did you check?

War of the Lance Sourcebook.

Ok so dragons of autumn will now be level 12-15, party splits and dragons of winter is 16-19 and most of spring is 16-19 as well, and temple of Ariakas is the level 20 capstone. Done and done, we got this let’s goooooo

Remember, Verminaard (and Ember) had just been attacked by Flamestrike before the Heroes fought him, so he was nowhere near full strength.

 

[R_J_K75]

Yeah, I thought that was R_J_K75's question...

A complete list of all the free stuff buried on WotC's various websites would be a lot more extensive. They tend not to delete content from their media server even when they delete the links!

The 3.5 archive page link I had no longer works and there was a bunch of free pdfs that came out on their site sometime between 2000-2003 I believe before 3.5 came out (I think) which you may be able to find if you fire up the way back machine. But I lost my bookmark for it.

Right in the books they were. In the adventures, that’s an option though not a certainty. I would highly recommend if people use these stat blocks to foreshadow the danger as best as possible and the options available.

Since this is DL related thread, can anyone tell when I should get my physical book & board game if I got the bundle?

I’m wondering that too. Hopefully, now that we’ve hit release day, we’ll get emails soon letting us know our physical products have shipped.

Personally I would have expected it to arrive yesterday or today. If I can get it faster and probably cheaper from Amazon, why get it from WotC?

I went with the WotC bundle so I could get the early DDB access. Also, with the free shipping to NZ, the cost for the physical + digital bundle was cheaper than if I'd bought the two items separately. I'm happy to wait for the physical book.
