    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    Same here! If they do go the full 60 - 70 pages like other recent releases, there's plenty of room for all sorts of monsters to make a comeback! My hope is that one of the DLCs is Cormyr getting the mini-setting treatment. It's irked me that Cormyr, being pretty much one of the main pillars of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    I've always found the tiny 6 by 6 inch box of treasure to be the most hilarious part. It's the draconic hoard equivalent to a penny jar.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    I was thinking similarly, at least in part. They may also be a mix of locations and adventurers.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Oh, sorry, I must have been editing when you quoted the post. As I said, it's nothing like the old 1e - 3e spirit dragons, which didn't possess wings.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    The closest thing I can find is the emerald dragon in Bigby's, which has roughly the same coloration (dark green on top/back, pale on the bottom/stomach), but the horns are definitely not a match - an emerald dragon's horns are floating crystals, and not branched. I was also possibly thinking...

    Sorry all, I've been busy the last couple of weeks. Should be posting these again here soon!

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    People are reacting as if the covers are portraying an act of torture or the like. Or like a 3-year-old with just 4 clashing crayons available created them. Yeah, they aren't my favorites, but they're just merely OK, aggressively mid-tier. Not something approaching horrifying self-eye-gouging...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    Good to know. I wish they mentioned how far south it went - FR setting maps waver between going all the way to the south coast and cutting that part off. At least with Thay mentioned, it's definitely going far enough east. Does the article mention how much text coverage will be given to the...

    Also, have we heard anything about poster maps for these? I'd have to imagine that we'll see at least one, although one for each book would be nice.

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    I read somewhere that Alias will be the narrator for the Dalelands section. Hopefully we'll see them in action together again! But in any case, if she is the narrator, that does make at least a bit likely that the Lost Dale and its inhabitants will be described, as she and Dragonbait were the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    Spelljammer, Planescape, Bigby's, and Fizban's all had 60 -70 page bestiaries. It seems to be the standard for releases like this. Just throwing in a few dragons will start moving the needle on the bestiary page count pretty quickly! Beyond the spirit dragons, yellow and brown dragons are old...

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    It's not highly speculative. We've had these before for multiple other releases. Planescape, Spellljammer, and so on. They've been either extra monsters or short adventures. For Spelljammer, for example, it was one of each, and for Planescape it was a short adventure.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    That's supposition, not proof. Can you prove that those aren't for a 2026 product? All UAs so far have gone into actual print products, as long as they weren't outright rejected.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    The books together will be 380 pages. So, if there wasn't enough room for this stuff in something with that large of a page count, then, yeah, we'd probably wouldn't be seeing it at all outside a digital release.

    OK, I was skimming the previous posts and just overlooked that then.

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    There are 50 mini adventures, so I would guess that each big region would likely get multiple. A guess would be that each mini-setting would get 4 (so 20 overall) and each big region would get 3 (so 30 over all). Although honestly, reading back on this, there's nothing that has been stated in...

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    The Outer Planes are Planescape, the Forgotten Realms are the Forgotten Realms. They still connect, but the Outer Planes aren't part of the Forgotten Realms in as much as it is shared by all. Like it was in 2e.

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    I think having the direct verbiage might clear this up. Can someone with access to the article post exactly what they said about the 10 regions and their relationship to the five mini settings (if anything for the latter)? The main reason I would currently argue that the 10 regions would all be...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    There will a magic item section, so let's give it about a third of the length of section in the DMG at around 30 pages. If we give 15 pages to the 5 mini-settings, that's 75 pages. That gives us around 100 pages left. If the book is this length, I very much lean towards much of that balance...
