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

Perkins was talking about the 9 Hells...

I don't think he said no to Planescape, just Spelljammer. I guess we find out tomorrow.

Definitely just "no" to Spelljammer. However, since he makes it a point to keep mentioning it, I'm pretty sure he's just trolling the hell out of us.

Here's something interesting: there's a placeholder up on Amazon advertising tomorrow's stream.

They might count the miscellany set as one of the four products: it might even be the mentioned box set.

So, guys, today's Dragon Talk had a Lore You Should Know talks about the Blood War, and it was very interesting.

Perkins goes into how the Devils need to collect souls to fight the Blood War, and nonchalantly drops the example of how on Avernus an entire city might be sucked in from the material plane for troops.

He then later mentioned how they at one point planned a counter-balance to Out of the Abyss where Asmodeus offered deals to surface cities to protect them from the demons in the Underdark.

I predict that the AP will involve a Diabolical plot to suck Baldur's Gate straight into Hell... descending into Zariel's realm, as it were.

 

[Parmandur]

Maybe a PDF, but not a physical book. Personally I think it won't happen till we get another Psion update from UA.

Oh, yeah, I mean a playtest PDF.

I always thought "accessories" would make up at least one of the four. I think the box set will be a board game version of the main "Decent" AP. I think the adventure will go to Sigil and several other planes, but there won't be a full Planescape setting book. The fourth is most likely something Eberron.

That last line....I love the idea of that!

I disagree on that. WotC has put out several D&D-related board-game based on their APs, but those have never been counted as part of the releases for D&D or taken up a slot in the D&D production schedule. Whatever the boxed set is, if it's being counted as one of the slots in the D&D production queue, then it's an actual D&D product.

It should be noted that this LYSK segment is very old. It’s from Jan 2018 and they are replaying it on the eve of the stream, for obvious reasons. It was originally promoting Tome of Foes.

Also no, none of the four big announcements will be board games or accessories. They are books or box sets. They have done board games and dice sets for all the main adventures two years running and those have never been pushed as big product announcements. No reason for that to change here.

 

[CapnZapp]

The big adventure being announced will be focused on the Bloodwar and will have a heavy focus on Zariel and her fall. This is also likely the followup to Out of the Abyss that Perkins mentioned in an interview last year.

If it actually is, as in you start the adventure at level 12 (?) or whatever, I'll happily eat your hat.
