The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

Tomb of Annihilation is in the Forgotten Realms set in the Lost Continent of Chult - Away from the Sword Coast (the hosts of the live stream are very interested with undead dinosaurs). Acererak is, as many predicted, the source of this plotline as the Archlich is more or less "eating" resurrection magic from the rest of the Forgotten Realms and causing a zombie apocalypse. Pendleton Ward from Adventure Time is a creative consultant on this adventure.

More updates will be coming through the Dungeons & Dragons marathon live stream live on Twitch throughout the weekend.

Did you happen to get screenshots of the new minis? I can't find any images from the stream

No, this was just a selection of the set of minis coming out by GF9. They showed others, but I didn't catch them.

I'm starting to see some possible plot points/adventure locations if this is the case. Chosen of Ubtao (the deceiver, whose symbol is the maze) had to survive an ordeal within the temple that was never specified. I bet it was some sort of maze dungeon. Ras Nsi was exiled there and maybe still is stuck there somehow or attached to it. He used undead and undead dinosaurs as slaves. I bet he's a sub-boss in a portion of the adventure when we have to explore the ruined temple of Ubtao.

Your advaserial tone is entirely unneeded

A funny comment, coming from the person intently and aggressively demanding fine details over a mug.

Because I want to know where to get them next time! I needs my mug and dice, man. I need to be ready.

About when did they talk to GF9? I missed that interview.

I didn't manage to get shots during the stream, but now that the video is up (see my previous post), here are some shots. They did not have clips of the t-rex or velociraptors, but they discuss them in the video.

(In the video, you can see how the goblin minis stack to form a totem pole kind of structure.)

If you correct Jester you are an adversary? Is this how the forums work?

Of course, my answer was an analogy and the issue with implications are they are subjective. Fact is, if you aren't stating a particular setting, WotC (and by extension, any reasonable person playing 5E) can safely assume you're in the Forgotten Realms/Sword Coast.

I have a feeling that, while we will likely probably stay in the Realms for the majority of the APs, we're going to start veering away from the Sword Coast more and more, like we are in this adventure. There are a lot of unique and different regions in the setting (like Chult) that will break up the "typical D&D fantasy" that the Sword Coast brings us. People may complain that the Forgotten Realms is a "kitchen sink" setting, but that's more a strength when it comes to creating adventures in unique locations...
