New Forgotten Realms setting.

Caves of Chaos starter set?

 

[Zaukrie]

Caves of Chaos starter set?

Dreamer. I'd go with nentyr vale, like the chaos scar, but they won't.

 

[Weiley31]

Another Starter set? I feel like it's both too soon AND too late (2025) to release another one.

 

[Parmandur]

Caves of Chaos starter set?

Yup.

• Starter set is a redo of Keep on the Borderlands, looks to be headed by Justice who did Quests from the Infinite Staircase
• "Dragon Amthology", 10 new small Adventures focused on Dragons (presumably one of each major type)
• DM's Guide to Faerun (namedrops Dalelands, Calishman, Baldur's Gate, Moonshine Isles, Icewind Dale)
• Players Guide to Faerun: new subclasses, new Feats, new Backgrounds, new Spells

So it almost sounds like they took the Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft approach to the different domains and are starting to apply that framework to Forgotten Realms. Go to Icewind Dale if you want Survival Horror. Go to the Moonshaes if you want a Fey-themed, non-violent setting (I think I heard that right).

 

[Weiley31]

So, end of next year to pretty much capitalize on the BG3 fame.

 

[darjr]

purchasable digital minis?

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Pretty funny that they just threw SCAG under the bus.
