D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

The D&D/Magic The Gathering crossover book Lorywn: First Light has been released over on D&D Beyond.

Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is a MtG plane which switches between its night and day aspects ever 300 years. Lorwyn is the 'day' aspect and has strong fey influences and does not feature humans.

The digital-only release includes the Lorwyn Changeling (which differs from Eberron Changeling in interesting ways) and Rimekin (an ice-person) species, and two new elven lineages: Lorwyn elf and Shadowmoor elf. Feats are Shadowmoor Hexer and Child of the Sun (tied to Lorwyn Expert and Shadowmoor Expert backgrounds).

You can grab Lorwyn: First Light on D&D Beyond for $14.99.

Travel from the Forgotten Realms into an all-new fey realm with this Magic: The Gathering crossover!

Journey beyond the Forgotten Realms to the beloved plane of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor, where eternal sun shifts into eerie moonlight. Here, you’ll discover new Fey-inspired character options, a rich gazetteer of mystical locales, monstrous incarnations of nature, and ready-to-run adventures.

I think one of the challenges WotC face with MtG isn’t it isn’t very casual friendly. It’s not like Cluedo or Monopoly, something you can pull out and play with the family at Christmas. When players stop keeping up they tend to drop out of playing all together.

I mean, quite the contrary, the game being pretty pick up and go is a big reason Magic really isn't having problems.

Commander has pretty much completely taken over kitchen table magic.

True, though the ad hoc nature of kitchen play means all sorts of wild things are provavly going on. Commander is perfect for casual social play, and for kitbasbinf something out of random packs bought at Walgreens.
