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.

Yeah, very delayed. The original plan was to bring the D&D set out at the same time (there were leaks).

Yeah, I don't know if tha tiantrue. WotC made vague indications something D&D was coming with Lorwyn in February or Marxh, and we made all kinds of assumptions based on prior releases. But previous result are not necessarily indicative of future performance, and all that. Not sure theybevwe did plan a bigger project.

WotC made vague indications

They didn’t say anything officially, someone who was on staff at the time jumped the gun, including images of a boxed set and a date. Then there was a frantic effort from WotC to delete all mentions and images.

It’s just occurred to me that it’s possible I got more time to see the stuff before it was gone because I’m on UK time.
