New WotC D&D Adventures?

[Ogrork the Mighty]

Has there been any word on when the first of these will come out?

 

[BvS]

Other than the Eberron adventures that have already come out, I didn't even know Wizards was releasing any new D&D adventures. Cool.

AFAIK, the only other WotC adventure on the schedule for this year is the first adventure in the new Forgotten Realms adventure path. WotC has it due in September, I believe.

Three are coming up; two 16 page adventures and one 32 page adventure.

[size=+1]Fane of the Drow (Fantastic Locations #1)[/size]
author Gwendolyn F. M. Kestrel, Rob Heinsoo
$14.95, 16 pages, ISBN 0786938471

Fane of the Drow features two double-sided poster maps designed for roleplaying and miniatures skirmish play. An accompanying 16-page adventure can be dropped into any campaign. Enemies consist of creatures from various D&D miniatures. Miniatures skirmish scenarios are included for additional play options, written to allow Dungeon Masters to seamlessly integrate D&D Miniatures into the adventure. The two poster maps, which are scaled for tabletop play, can be put together to form the temple of the drow, while the reverse sides feature other fantastic dungeon locations players can explore.

[size=+1]Sons of Gruumsh (Forgotten Realms Adventure Path #1)[/size]

This adventure showcases the classic high fantasy for which the Forgotten Realms setting is known. Sons of Gruumsh features an epic quest to prevent war between the orcs of Thar and the cities of the Moonsea. Though set in the Forgotten Realms, Dungeon Masters can place this adventure anywhere in the Realms, or easily adapt it for their own D&D® campaigns. This adventure features encounters written to facilitate the use of D&D Miniatures and is designed for 4th-level characters.

[size=+1]Hellspike Prison (Fantastic Locations #2)[/size]
author Matthew Sernett, Rob Heinsoo
$14.95, 16 pages, ISBN 078693848X

Hellspike Prison features two double-sided poster maps designed for roleplaying and miniatures skirmish play, plus an accompanying 16-page adventure that can be dropped into any campaign. Enemies include creatures from the recent Underdark miniatures expansion. Miniatures skirmish scenarios are included for additional play options. The two poster maps can be put together to form the fiery underdark cavern known as Hellspike Prison, while the reverse sides feature other fantastic underdark locations players can explore.

Cool! They all sound pretty good, although I think $14.95 might be a bit too much to pay for a 16 page adventure. I will buy Sons of Gruumsh though.

The two 16-pagers include poster maps and miniatures.

This is going to seriously damage my gamer cred, but...

Hellspike Prison sounds familiar, but I just can't place it. What is it?

No miniatures, just nice maps for use with miniatures (and skirmish DDM).

 

[The_Gneech]

I just hope there's actual adventures in them, not just a bunch of miniature skirmish scenarios.

Yeah if you got the minis that would be affordable, but as jody said, if it is just maps and skirmish encounters it might not be worth it to me. Not when you can get so many good adventures via pdf for next to nothing and there are some great 3rd party adventures with suitable maps.
