I don’t think we have any real idea as to how long Deadfall will be yet, so can’t say if it’s better value than dragonheist. Forge of the Artificer was 112 pages, exactly half as long as Dragonheist.

I was wondering about the significance of the dots. That would be CR 14, so suitable for party level 10.

If you read it and you are familiar with the setting you will know what was wrong with it.

I don’t know if there is any official lore on this, but my headcanon tells me they are hatched as adults and neither grow nor age.

Did you read it?

It just needs to cook for a little longer. Remember that UA wasn’t very satisfactory.

One thing with Dragonlance - remember the lunar sorcerer? That didn’t really match the lore at all. 5.5 has a much better way to do wizards of high sorcery - using three backgrounds and accompanying feats. And that wouldn’t go through UA. You might be able to tackle Solomanic knights the same way.

But no one mentions it until it is well on in development, for it to have been mentioned then it must have started at least a year earlier.

The “Red Wizard adventure” was first mentioned (by Perkins I think) about three years ago. There is a freebee sample on DDB.

The novels put him back on Krynn, they trashed Sithicus in VGR (because no one understands that stuff about Krynn elves), and he has appeared in two recent WotC products - in Krynn.

I hope it isn’t Dark Sun, because if they think it can be summed up as “Champions” they have really very seriously failed to understand the setting! But it has to be an adventure, since 5.5 will be two years old at that point and only have one and a half adventures, and none of significant...

They were working on the red wizard adventure long before they started work on the new FR books. It got put on hold in the rush to get the 2024 rules out on time, and has now been repurposed to accompany Arcane Unleashed, a core rules supplement focusing on arcane magic classes. Neither product...

There is nothing to connect Arcana Unleashed to that region aside from the use of a word that is slightly more common in D&D than “the”. It’s a crunch book not a setting book. Deadfall mentions Arcana Unleashed, but Arcana Unleashed makes no mention of Deadfall, or Thay, or the Forgotten...

I think you are reading way too much much into that. Unless it means Thay has already conquered the entire region. It’s not like “arcane” isn’t a word that is used pretty much all the time in D&D. Funny you should mention that. Read the background for the Covenant of the Grave faction (bottom...

Infinite Staircase has shown that the current staff can do really good updates to old adventures.
