D&D 5E Tracy & Laura Hickman Announce Skyraiders of Abarax

Tracy and Laura Hickman, known for the Dragonlance setting and the original Ravenloft module, have announced a D&D 5E setting called Skyraiders of Abarax. It will be coming to Kickstarter this fall. There's not much more information yet, other than a mailing list for updates and a single (stunning) art piece.

Their Facebook page actually says "AD&D 5E", rather than "D&D 5E", although I'm not sure whether that's significant.

"Tracy & Laura Hickman's first adventure world since Dragonlance ... coming to AD&D 5E through Kickstarter this fall! Join us in the creation of Sky-high Fantasy discovered through magical books brought to life our unique 'Living Tome System'."

There's also a couple of other art pieces floating about on social media.

Is it " on " or " one" ? dragon's sylph. Looks of interest

AD&D 5th / Living Tome System? This sounds like a pack of added rules, but still compatible with "our" 5th Ed.

Maybe we are seing the birth of one of the most popular 3PP settings.

That artwork is indeed stunning.

I suppose "Tracy & Laura Hickman's first adventure world since Dragonlance" is technically correct (the best kind of correct!) since they came up with the original concept, but the actual setting that resulted was a TSR group project.

That’s actually incorrect. They had Sovereign Stone back in the 3E days.

<EDIT>. Whoops! My bad - Elmore created Sovereign Stone, they wrote the novels for the game!

Interesting.....they created some of the best old skewl stuff.....will 100% check this out.

Maybe AD&D5e means they're making it for Level Up...that would be awesome.

It's a good thing someone took pics of those messages before the tide got them.

You're gonna need another edit. You’re thinking of Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman. This is Tracy and Laura Hickman. Larry Elmore was the cover artist.

Let me get my foot outta my mouth before I dig any further…

The artwork looks great, but the fonts make me feel like I'm reading the opening splash screens to an early-90's LucasArts adventure game

This sounds very exciting!
