D&D 5E 3 Of The Adventures in Candlekeep Mysteries

Candlekeep is a 'hub' full of portals to different adventures, each portal being a book, in the upcoming Candlekeep Mysteries adventure anthology for D&D. Here's the names of three of the adventures according to iO9. The adventures are standalone. A ghost dragon lives under the library, and the PCs can interact with her.

The 'codename' for the book was 'Microwave'.

• The Canopic Being (Jennifer Kretchmer, disability advocate) -- jars of internal organs in Tashlua, a trade city in Tashalar, and a deep 3D dungeon crawl full of elevators and ramps.
• Zikran’s Zephyrean Tome (Taylor Rehman, game designer) -- a genie in a book in Candlekeep asks you to free it in exchange for a wish. The genie has an evil former master.
• Kandlekeep Dekonstruktion (Amy Vorpahl, comedian)-- a stolen book contains blueprints of Candlekeep. A comedic adventure. Includes mechanical creatures called Skitterwidgets, which have babies called Kittiewidgets.

The Canopic Being sounds interesting. I am interested to see the map on that one.

A big dungeon crawl is always welcome. But the comedic adventure also sounds fun.

Alternate cover is million, billion times better than regular cover.

Like the idea of the genie one with the evil master* and finding a way to free it.

Also giving a party one wish is a good way for the DM to sit back for a few hours and relax as the players debate the best use.

*Realistically all masters who enslave a genie are evil.

I agree.

Well, now I’m even less interested than before (0), so it’s somewhere in the minus range..

 

[John R Davis]

Cover looks great. Comedic adventures (ugh).

#@$&!

I started buying the alt covers with Volo's guide and it just became a habit. It was easier/cheaper when maybe one book per year had the special cover; I was really hoping this one would just have the standard cover and would save me a buck or six.

Sigh. C'est la vie.

Book is sounding better with each article. Come March, I may be buying it.
