Having run all 5 of the DMG one page adventures, I think they count as adventures. There’s just enough there to kill 2-3 hours, depending on the adventure in the DMG. Haven’t got to run this one yet, but I did play through the 5 they previewed at GenCon and those all filled a solid 2 hours...

In Quests from the Infinite Staircase, the group patron of the party is Nafas, a Noble genie with official 5e stats. The book says this about Noble Genie: “Nafas is a noble genie, a rare type of genie endowed with the power to reshape reality. A word uttered by Nafas can transform a pauper...

It isn’t just “Oath of Genie,” it’s “Oath of the Noble Genie.” Noble Genies are reality shapers, the equivalent of an Archdevil or Demon Lord for the Elemental Planes. Yes, they aren’t deities exactly. But they are close in power to a minor god, so it isn’t that far fetched that they could...

Yes, these books make heavy use of the Renown mechanics in the DMG for both Factions and Religions in the FR. We knew that gaining renown would give benefits for those, but apparently part of that is also adventures.

You may have to claim it first if you haven’t already.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2084-claim-your-copy-of-the-tenebrous-stone-adventure Beyond posted a preview adventure from the books. Interestingly it is listed as a “DEITY (ILMATER) ADVENTURE” so seems the 50 one-page style adventurers are not exclusive to the regions.

I know Joes involvement makes everyone jump straight to TV or Film, but remember he has consulted on books for WotC before. This could very well be a Dragonlance setting book and not the TV show. Or it could be both. Or neither. But it’s hopefully something.

After closer inspection, I found two “new” monsters mentioned. One adventure mentions the “Drow Priestess of Lolth” and another part of the book (not an adventure) mentioned the “Spores of Moander.”

Nerd Initiative on YouTube previewed the new Forgotten Realms books with Mackenzie De Armas in this short video, including a quick flip-through of the Adventures in Faerun book. During the quick flip-through, he shows off blurry but mostly readable pages from the Dalelands section of the...

I just thought about this, but based on the preview article, the two spells that can be circle cast for greater effect both require the casters to spend spell slots. Monsters in the new Monster Manual do not have spell slots, meaning this really isn't usable, RAW, by NPCs. Which means enemies...

Circle Magic preview.

It’s very easy to just say “Halfling Characters can communicate telepathically in Lorwyn” as a general setting rule without needing to make an entire new variant. Also, reminder that the original reveal said “guidance on running species” in the setting. That’s likely less “print a new...

The Extra Life page has been updated to show a Lorwyn focused live stream on November 8. People can donate to the four players to choose things like their class and species, with the following 7 species listed. boggart, shadowmoor elf, faerie, flamekin, kithkin, changeling, rimekin. Since we...

Expecting a new preview tomorrow, probably about the Subclasses.
