What does this all mean exactly?

What does this all mean exactly?

You’ll be able to write adventures that can be used in AL. I suppose the primary motivation is to be a part of the campaign and I’ve heard that AL content sells well on the DMSGUILD.

Oh! I didn’t notice it but Eberron and Ravenloft wil be made available under the Dungeoncraft initiative.

Eberron and Ravenloft will be receiving Dungeoncraft support, and we plan on supporting additional D&D worlds as they release in the future. Each world will receive a separate Dungeoncraft document. We expect both Eberron and Ravenloft Dungeoncrafts to drop by late September. More to come this fall!

Alright I’ll bite when the Dungeoncraft docs drop in a week or so for Spelljammer. I like AL, and I hope the revisions they’ve done with the Dungeoncraft program improve on designer flexibility. Last I looked was the Frostmaiden Dungeoncraft, and I did not find the presented hooks to be engaging (from recollection, a lot were more “cutesy” than “adventurous”). Here’s to hoping!

Also note that there won’t be a main AL set of adventures either other than the lead in ones already in DnDBeyond.

I wonder if that was on purpose to offset the very grim tone of the adventure itself.

Oh, wow.

 

[darjr]

Oh, wow.

I think they want to focus in the hardbacks and the campaigns of GameHoleCon and BaldmanGames. And the Dungeoncraft

I think it’s the biggest change yet.

Looking in from the outside, that sounds like the biggest change in 5E history for ghe AL.

So Academy and Light are the only 2 adventures. Academy can be ran in 2 4.5 hours sets. It looks like Light can be ran in six hour sets of four parts.
