A few people have gotten the new book and are showing some stuff.

Newbie DM goes in depth

Brandes Stoddard also has some stuff on Blusky but that does not embed

This also gives us the ToCs

So either all the monsters are page 175 and after, or they're all scattered among the various chapters in the book. Sort of interested in how the cards will work as a random adventure generator.

Scattered from the look.

It seems that Magic Items and Monsters are scattered by theme, but that there is a master table for each to aid navigation.

As expected, thus is the most oddly structured 5E book to date.

So, essentially 22 modules of various sorts averaging like 8.5 pages each.

Gardmore Abbey returns. Looks like they might solve The Void as a gamebreaker by offering the other players new PCs that also drew the Card, to roleplay through the Dungeon.

I’m way more excited for this book than I ever expected to be.

What a cool, unusual book.

I had a feeling there this would end up being one of the wildest and out there 5E books, and it looks to deliver.

What's funny is this is, essentially, how I planned out my last campaign. I created cards representing important places, events, and NPCs, and then had the characters pull them randomly. It was a really fun creative exercise as a DM.
