Dungeons & Dragons Announces Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall, New Adventure Book Featuring Red Wizards of Thay

[Paul Farquhar]

LEVEL 20!

Notable that the characters from Honor Among Thieves who fought one of Tamm's lieutenants were roughly 9th level.

Will this thing start late tier 2?

Given that it’s about 1/3 of the length of a 5.5 adventure, it would either have to have ridiculously fast levelling or start around level 15.

This looks like an adventure I won’t be buying.

 

[Sulicius]

That actually sounds interesting to me. I have a group who will finish their campaign in early tier 3, maybe I can run the adventure after.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

I guess I'm currently feeling a bit jaded about high level, having been running a high level adventure for what feels like ages. I would like a good solid tier 1-2 adventure at this point!

For some reason I've never been keen on Red Wizards in anything other than supporting roles, so the prospect of Thay doesn't particularly excite me either. It sounds a lot like Dead in Thay Redux.

Would prefer a Rashemen adventure.

LEVEL 20!

more of a warning sign than anything for me… guess that kills any interest I might have had for the adventure

First the darklords, now Szass Tam. The heavy hitters in Hell and the Abyss had better watch their backs in 5.5.

Who do you think is orchestrating the elimination of their evil rivals? Muahahahahaha!

That's the only thing that tempts me to buy it.

 

[Retreater]

Okay, okay. I'm normally pessimistic and down on everything out of WotC. I'm impressed that they're attempting to go to Level 20. I know that the last time (Vecna: Eve of Ruin) it wasn't received positively. I'm hoping for better this time.
If it gets good reviews, I might pick it up to read out of curiosity. I don't run D&D anymore, but I can appreciate a good adventure to read for inspiration.

to each their own. I wasn’t particularly interested to begin with, but high level 5e is so not what I am looking for…

 

[UngainlyTitan]

I am interested in how they do it.

I am interested in how they do it.

Same. I have run high level several times already and know how to do it. I'm curious how they go about it.
