WotC has released a trailer for December’s Shadow of the Dragon Queen, an adventure for character levels 1-10.

I don't think you can do a D&D war story with superheroes.

You definitely can!

It’s just the Trojan War, and you’re all on one side (or not, if you want that juicy pvp), against equally powerful characters on the other side.

An awful lot of BWAAAAAAAA in that trailer

Which side on the Trojan War had superheroes?

But where were the Hittite gods?!
(My outrage is purely comedic)

I do love that we're getting more cinematic trailers. MtG has had them for years.

One hero can take 100 troops in battle !!

...too bad the enemy has 40,000 troops.

I doubt D&D was designed to be a musou wargame, amond other reasons because it is not easy to find a right power balance in a player vs player. What if the players are warlord creating their own army? This would be too fastly destroyed if the DM sends a "boss".

I don't think you can do a D&D war story with superheroes.

Who's strong and brave here to save the Solamnian way?
Who vows to fight like a man for what's right, night and day?
Who will campaign door to door for Solamnia?
Carry the flag shore to shore for Solamnia?
From Edgerton to Hinterland?
The Star Spangled Man with a plan

Yeah, odd choice starting at level 1 for Dragonlance. Wish they started it at 3rd, and put out some free content like they did for Spelljammer (Spelljammer Academy) for those who want to fill in that 1st-2nd level gap without having to devote the space in the book.
