D&D 5E (2014) Keys from the Golden Vault

[Rhineglade]

Per the Amazon website for this upcoming product in February 2023: Keys From the Golden Vault is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure anthology with a heist at the center of every tale.

This is all that is known for this book at this time.

I wonder if it is some type of movie tie-in, since the toy line is being branded as "Golden Archive".

Hopefully it's really heists. Can't wait to get more details on this.

I wonder if any of the heists are for 1-2 PCs and not a whole party. May be cool if it sets up like in the movies where one is breaking into the room, another distracting guards, and another getting the get-away boat ready. Likely not with a mixed party and needing the fighter to persuade someone and the mage driving a land vehicle.

That would be really cool. I'm very skeptical of the book embracing this possibility, but I like it quite a lot

 

[NiClerigo]

It would be interesting if not all heists involve the retrieval of valuable objects for profit's sake -e.g., some adventures could deal with retrieving blueprints of weapons to be manufactured by a rival nation in Eberron; recovering a holy artifact, etc.

These adventures could really vary quite a bit in style - you could have a trap-filled dungeon crawl, an "art heist" from a museum, a "con job" in a noble's estate, and so on. Any guidance on how to run an adventure that encourages the party to split up would be ideal for this genre, too.

Hey, WotC! Dragonlance has hit the streets! Where's my Golden Vault info?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Strange. For a book supposedly out in February, as a retailer, we haven't been offered it for preorder yet. There's some accessories showing at my distributor, but no book. Seems odd to me.

Also: Why is it Keys FROM the Golden Vault? I couldn't find it at first because I typed "TO". Keys TO the Golden Vault seems more apt to me.
