D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming 2024

Just revealed by WotC, a multiverse spanning adventure which goes up to level 20 and features cameos from famous D&D characters. More info when we have it!

Update--WotC has taken down the promo image and replaced it with one without a release date. See more here.

someone made a huge mistake, particularly with the lead designer (Crawford) being completely unaware of it.
I don't think that intern works for WotC anymore

That's not a huge mistake.

given that there is a whole thread about the video I did not think it was necessary


starting at about 7:45

So it sounds like WotC is backpedaling on the release date,

no, they are telling you again what they said then, that the dates on the slides were a mistake

The dates were not on the slides, only a quickly taken down Social Media post.

Been wracking my brain where I've seen an image like this before....

I know it was somewhere in this vast multiverse...

Oh snap, I just remembered...

It must be my neighbor's Power Glove.

Vecna's gauntlet is one infinity stone missing

Well, that's a pretty creepy half-black dragon spider thingy.

Because D&D has always had a multiverse (since 1e), but the D&D multiverse is about multiple planes of reality (Prime, Inner, Outer, etc.) not alternate realities (earth 56, etc.). So a D&D multiverse adventure is essentially a planescape adventure, not a marvel or dc alternate reality hopping affair

The D&D multiverse has always included alternate Earths/Oerths/Yrths/etc. In fact, if I remember right, the 1e Manual of the Planes even had an appendix about them, though my copy is at my house and I'm not, so I can't check. Certainly, the 1e DMG had conversion notes for both Gamma World and Boot Hill, and Gygax had at least one Dragon article talking about the subject and even lightly detailing several alt-earths (Aerth and Yrth, if I remember right).
