D&D 5E 5-Part Forgotten Realms Adventure Coming Next Week

From Polygon comes a report that WotC is releasing for download an anthology of five adventures for character levels 8-10 on June 29th to celebrate the Magic the Gathering: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms card set.

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed set of cards for Magic: The Gathering, is introducing something special — and free — for fans of D&D. A substantial role-playing adventure will be made available for download starting around June 29. Wizards made the announcement earlier this month during a private press event.

In the past, new sets of Magic cards have been heralded by some excellent digital fiction — lengthy and well-written short stories that set the mood for the coming cards. This time around, publisher Wizards of the Coast is taking a different tack. Instead of short stories, it’s releasing a module for characters level eight through 10. Meris Mullaley, world-building and narrative design manager at Wizards, said that there would be five adventures. Each will run between 15 and 20 pages in total.

That's a pretty interesting level range -- presumably to make traveling the planes at some point in the adventure easier. And at a total of between 75 and 100 pages, it's a pretty significant work.

Did someone make a spoiler thread for discussing these adventures? I thought I saw one but now I cant find it.

D&D 5E - MtG Adventures in the Forgotten Realms - Adventures for 5E

It looks like instead of stories that WotC is putting out Adventures for the MtG set AFR. The first is for 4-6 characters of level 8, and the last page of it teases the name of the follow-up. Spoilers likely beyond this point! Part I...

I didn't put a spoilers warning in the top post yet, but am going over to do so now.

Putting out a sequel to Witchlight before Witchlight comes out feels odd.

Indeed. It's exactly the kind of timey-vimey oddity you have to be ready for when dealing with the Feywild!

I wonder what Green will be? Elves, Trolls...?

I wonder what Green will be? Elves, Trolls...?

I don't know enough about MTG to make an informed guess, but a card like "Fen of the Troll King," would be pretty fun!

Trolls are pretty iconic in Green, for sure, and there have even been Troll lands before.
