D&D 5E 5-Part Forgotten Realms Adventure Coming Next Week

From Polygon comes a report that WotC is releasing for download an anthology of five adventures for character levels 8-10 on June 29th to celebrate the Magic the Gathering: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms card set.

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed set of cards for Magic: The Gathering, is introducing something special — and free — for fans of D&D. A substantial role-playing adventure will be made available for download starting around June 29. Wizards made the announcement earlier this month during a private press event.

In the past, new sets of Magic cards have been heralded by some excellent digital fiction — lengthy and well-written short stories that set the mood for the coming cards. This time around, publisher Wizards of the Coast is taking a different tack. Instead of short stories, it’s releasing a module for characters level eight through 10. Meris Mullaley, world-building and narrative design manager at Wizards, said that there would be five adventures. Each will run between 15 and 20 pages in total.

That's a pretty interesting level range -- presumably to make traveling the planes at some point in the adventure easier. And at a total of between 75 and 100 pages, it's a pretty significant work.

The idea is you interact with it for a few minutes when taking a dump or whatever

Hey, that's Hearthstone's market!

It requires less skill or brainpower than Hearthstone, but I guess it gives some people that sweet dopamine hit...

I have never understood the appeal of the Idle Champions game. I tried. It's just characters walking and fighting . . .

Idle Clicker mobile games are way more popular than they have a right to be. There are a bunch of them out there now and many were out before Idle Champions came along. There is also the way overdone Merge mobile games and I am surprised there is not one of them yet for D&D.

As much as I would love for that to happen, I'd rather have Goodman Games handle the D-Series of modules.

Man now I want the new Drow Subraces/Lineages to be involved in this release on the 29th.

Yup. Goodman Games has been creating great content in recent years. I also like that they produce classic softcover modules in addition to epic hardcovers.

This isn’t the James Wyatt project I hope

Pretty sure in one of his tweets, Ray confirmed that the Wyatt project is the mystery October book, while this is releasing in a few days.

The other Polygon article showed another Module Land Art Card, but its not a new card to MtG, its Evolving Wilds as a Module. There are 9 Module Cards in AFR including Den of the Bugbear and Evolving Wilds. To be fair FR is one of the few D&D setting where this card makes sense, Spellplague, Time of Troubles, Sunderings, etc...

They also said more mechanicS, so its more then just Dungeon/Venture + 1. Minimum 3 new mechanics. This could really amp of the complexity of standard. Its awesome so far, but not nearly noob friendly as I thought, I would hugely recommend trying this set on Arena first to get used to it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what other mechanics the set will have.
