Hmmmm….a Shadows of Sithicus mini-adventure.

My dilemma here is buying this or seeing what Beadle and Grimm comes up with.

Also, with 7 subclasses, I suppose it's a "see you later" for the Hexblade

4 Species (Dhampir, Hexblood, Lupin, Reborn)

I wonder how the 5.5e version of the Lupin are going to be portrayed here. The descendants of werewolves (like Level Up's Garoul heritage)? Werewolves who were released from their curse (similar to the Worgen in WoW)?

I noticed that all these physical products (book, map pack, screen, cards) simultaneously showed up on Amazon today (April 13) as well as Dndbeyond. They weren't on Amazon when I checked yesterday. I assume they probably also showed up at the same time on other online game/booksellers, although I haven't checked any other than Amazon. Obviously the big retailers coordinate their product pages with WotC.

The preview image released back at announcement was semi- readable. They are people who had a type of lycanthropy that didn't "take" or their descendants. They are stuck in permanent hybrid form and cannot shift to humans or wolves. That is actually consistent with one of the theories of how Mystara lupins came to be, so I appreciate the nod to origin.

Here's Lord Soth and the Dargaard banshees for the Dragonlance fans

Man, I like the idea of the ultimate bundle as I like the tie ins…something to think on before it’s an impulse buy.
