And the new storyline for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is...


Waterdeep: Dragon Heist! The plot will focus on an urban treasure hunt and a focus on urban and city-based adventures with special rules for running games in that environment. The adventure itself will have variable goals and antagonists similar to the original I6: Ravenloft module, where the DM chooses what "villain" will be the secret villain of the campaign, which will change outcomes of various events. The adventure itself will also have downtime built into the adventure along with the ability to own property in Waterdeep. The adventure for Level 1-5 will be released on September 18, 2018, with an MSRP of $49.95.

A second announcement is anticipated later this weekend, as the product codenamed "Catacombs" has a release date of November 20 and is also a 256-page hardcover book. This would make Waterdeep: Dragon Heist the codename "Broadway" (which also had a custom dice release announced for solicitation last year with the other products, including "Marathon" which turned out to be Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes).


Wizards of the coast made the announcement as part of a weekend-long live streaming event on their Twitch channel, "Stream of Many Eyes". Other products announced during the live stream include updates to the Neverwinter MMO and its Barovia expansion, a new official history artbook about Dungeons & Dragons with images throughout the history of the game, and a new series of boxed sets with props and handouts for published adventures released so far as well as for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

This article will be updated with more information as the Wizards of the Coast live stream continues.

I do hope so. There are rumors over on Reddit that Cubicle 7 may still have something up their sleeve...

I've padded every sharp edges in my house in case Cubicle 7 announces the release of Moria for AiME, I faint easily. I'm not sure I'll buy the Undermountain AP because mega dungeons arent my thing, but Moria might be the exception.

I hope they rebuild the Plinth in Waterdeep, bigger and better then ever in Waterdeep. The Plinth was a Wizards Tower converted to a Temple for all the Gods, it got destroyed in 4e, a an example of destroying cool stuff needlessly, but it could be rebuilt by now.

Heh, "Destroying cool stuff needlessly" could have been the by-line for 4e as a whole...

C7 announced the Moria deluxe boxed set months ago, though. We just do not have a release date or price yet.

Here is the thread about it from this site:

They also created some cool stuff. I like the SCAGs approach where they brought back cool stuff from previous edition, but didn't just destroy all the cool stuff from 4e, it was a balanced approach that made regions like the Old Empires Region more complex and interesting because you have renewed old Empires like Mulhorand, Unther, Chessenta that are rebuilding and not stagnet like they largely we're in 3e, but you also have what remains of the Dragonborn nation of Tymanther, High Imaskar in the Celestial Nadir, Deep Imaskar in the Underdark, Genasi Akanul, Thayan agents spying on everyone, Al Qadari the Elf Desert city, ect...
