D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple Coming to PAX East

A new Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in Eberron is debuting at PAX East this weekend. Wizards of the Coast has announced that D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple, a new D&D adventure set in Xen’drik, will make its convention debut at PAX East. The Level 3 adventure will feature premade characters made using 2024 Player's Handbook rules along with options from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.

As its name suggests, Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will update the Artificer class for 2024 5th Edition rules. It will also update all Eberron-specific species for the revised ruleset. The new rulebook comes out on August 19, 2025.

The full description of the new Eberron adventure can be found below:

Your group has been dispatched by Morgrave University to travel to Xen’drik and seek out the Crab Temple. It’s a race between your expedition and a rival to discover its secrets!

[wicked cool]

That warforged looks like something from Isaac Asimov robot visions

That warforged looks like something from Isaac Asimov robot visions

It reminded me of the androids from the I, Robot movie.

It is missing the wood beneath the plates. it took a second and a quick google, but that is what feels out of place.

Yeah. This one could be using their Integrated Protection trait atm. They bonded with a suit of Plate Mail armor and are wearing a helmet with a human-like face on it.

That new warforged design looks SICK

 

[mamba]

What is the problem. There has been a diversity of Warfroged appearance since the very first Eberron book.

not amphibian enough

 

[Misanthrope Prime]

Super eager to see what the Khoravar look like since that may be the closest we get to 5.5e "half elves"

 

[Parmandur]

Hopefully it will available later for home play

One of the few things we know ow about the book,l is thst it includes several Neo-DMG style Campaign outlines and minimalistic Adventures...and one of those campaign outlines is Morgrave University researchers. So, dollars to donuts this is based on something in the book.

Art noveau and 5 fingers? That's not a warforged, that's a robot.

Reminds me of the derigibles passed off as airships. Are they just abandoning Eberron's aesthetic in favor of art noveau more generally? Makes me sad/angry.

Not really sure how Art Noveau clashes with Eberron: seems more appropos than Aughts Dungeonpunk, honestly.
