D&D 5E (2014) Strixhaven: Orientation

WotC has released an overview of the upcoming Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos, as adventurers of levels 1-10 uncover a plot against the university. Teased are activities like tavern games, a magical frog race, an improv festival, and other social encounters. You can also take exams to improve your skills, join clubs, or get jobs.

Also included is a bestiary of over 40 new creatures.

The Bibloplex contains most of the information in the multiverse. Plenty of other locations fill the book, such as Captain Dapplewing's Manor, a mansion built for the university professors. One adventure has the PCs breaking into the manor. Another adventure involves the main Strixhaven student sport, Mage Tower.

Probably sit this one out. I also said the same thing about Witchlight and here I am, prepping to play it. My kids wanted to play and i figured Witchlight would be a really good one to start them on. This one will probably interest them since they love Harry Potter.

Oh! Yea! I think it would be a perfect following to Witchlight! Such a great idea!

Please note the legally distinct version of Quidditch there.

I hate the idea of MTG books in D&D (as they exist at the expense of other possible settings being published being the cynical cross-promotion exercises they are). But, I did end up picking up Worse Sigil Ravnica and Theros because there are bits and pieces that I found useful on some level.

I don't think that will be happening here. This will be first release I'm skipping. If this is your bag, then more power to you.

On come on, Quidditch is a ridiculously stupid game. It reads like a game made by and for 6 year olds.

Mage "kidnap" duels where anything except hurting opponents and mascots is a very different thing.

Yeah. Not for me from what I've seen. I think my purchasing of wotc dnd5 adventures is at an end. Bought them all up to Frostmaiden and no plans since. Luckily there's lots other publishers and create your own!!

I want to run a game where the players are the faculty.

but also I’m thinking a collection of university buildings and locations could be very useful in many other of my games.

It's OK they make things for people besides me.
