D&D 5E Tomb of Annihilation Guild Adepts: product list and bios

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Not sure why no one else caught this when it went up on Tuesday, but here is the link to the list of products coming from the new DMs Guild Adept program, along with bios of the first group of Adepts:

There are some interesting products coming to the Guild along with the ToA release, including this one:

Ruins of Mezro

"Ancient Mezro lies silent and ruined, her treasures plundered by foreign explorers. Flaming Fist mercenaries have staked a claim to the site, but they aren’t the only ones seeking to unravel its hidden mysteries. Other, darker powers have set their sights on its secrets. Ruins of Mezro is a complete Dungeons & Dragons adventure site for characters of level 1-15, providing everything you need to run freeform adventures in the ruined city."

There are several other adventures listed, including one for levels 11-16.

There will also be a bestiary of additional dinosaurs, of both the living and zombie variety.

This hardcover plus Guild material sounds like it is going to work out really well.

It's getting playtested as we speak...

Ah, the advantages of short lead times in digital publishing!

If anyone can direct me to a review or analysis of any previous high-level design of Lysa Chen, I'd be interested.

Ohhhh im very much looking forward to this. Even though I have literally every other adventure to play through

Good problem to have though I suppose!

Surprised more ToA goodies haven't been released before now...

I recall (if memory serves) before CoS came out there were a few goodies released early - namely Death House, shots of poster map of Barovia, table of trinkets.

I'm mainly vexed as group has started, and I'm stalling running a few one shots before the book comes out . . !

Between the AP and some of these products, it looks like the lack of dinosaurs in 5e will be corrected. Plus zombie dinosaurs.....

"Return of the Lizard King

In Chult’s Valley of Dread, warring tribes of lizardfolk have kept each other in check for centuries. As the tribes slowly fall under the sway of a new leader, omens point to the return of an ancient threat. Adventurers from a far-away realm find themselves in the middle of the fray. Their heroics could save the land from terrible evil, or could play a part in bringing about doom!

Return of the Lizard King is an adventure for characters level 1-4, playable as a lead-in to Tomb of Annihilation. Report your players’ decisions, and see how they affect a forthcoming high-level adventure in the same setting! The adventure also includes new playable races, class archetypes, backgrounds, feats, spells, and monsters designed specifically for this adventure and for Tomb of Annihilation.

Will the races, feats, spells, and archetypes to AL legal and will Return of the Lizard King be concidered your PHB +1?

No, I've been told these, as awesome as they are, will not be AL legal. I'll get em any way.

Can someone double check me on this? I don't see Monica Valentinelli's name on any of the products, but she's listed as an adept. I only see Satine Phoenix listed on the Encounters jam project. I wonder if Monica was accidentally left off of the Encounters author list. I'm also curious if those two will have projects that come a little later (maybe not day one) or if this is the extent of their involvement. That seems odd to me for an initial offering. I was expecting every person chosen to put out a product.
