New D&D Adventure Reveal On 17th May at 'The Descent'

Perkins was talking about the 9 Hells...

Can't wait, that's for sure!

descent. descent.
Hmm could be D1 Descent into Depths of Earth update. So. Maybe a underworld splat book.

"Major A. F."

A setting book would qualify as such, I think. But it could also be some concrete details about the movie, a videogame, and so on.

They're already teasing a post-Descent announcement. I started a new thread about it, but this link should take you right to the spot it's mentioned towards the end of the last Spoilers & Swag: https://youtu.be/-yatYFcetOk?t=3526

Baldurs Gate 3 gets announced...that a major A.F announcement. There was a tweet from Brian Fargo last fall saying he knew which developer was working on it. E3 falls in June...and they just did a lore you should know on Bhaal.

I rest my case.

If you want to talk Baldur's Gate, the cover illustration makes me think of Beamdog's Siege of Dragonspear. Sure, the antagonist is an Aasimar without pointed ears, but their plan is to launch an invasion of Hell in order to rescue lost souls.

"Major A. F."

It must be Chris Perkins' full head hair transplant.

What is Major A.F.

 

[gyor]

I wonder that too because I find 5e Adventures, for the most part, to be better than 80%+ of the past adventures, story-wise (a lot of them are not all that easy to run, but they have generally great plots, IMO.)

Aside from maybe not liking FR (not a huge fan myself, more neutral) what is NOT "steak" about them?

It's not so much the APs, it's a lack of proper setting books like FRCG and books for other settings.

Plus most of the books are such an unfocused mish-mash of material that they lack the "Steak".

A.F. = As (expletive).

Variety of material is not a lack of quality in said material.

We have two setting books now, and an idea of what they will look like in the future.
