Meh. Once someone sets up a Tyranny of Dragons wiki, you'll be able to keep up with the story in all its forms.
WotC did another big transmedia even back in 2012, where Lolth tried to become the new goddess of magic.
It had tie-in events in D&D Online, the Heroes of Neverwinter Facebook game, several e-books, two hardcover sourcebooks (
Into the Unknown and
Menzoberranzan), two seasons of Encounters, two lair assaults, and even a special event at PAX East.
The event has since been forgotten and there is all of a paragraph mentioning it in
Lolth's entry in the FR wiki. With the actual conclusion being unmentioned.
Quick, what was
it called?
-edit-
If you think about it, Tyranny of Dragons is just the latest in a long series of "events".
There was the Abyssal Plague that crossed over novels and had some monsters in the
Monster Vault 2.
There's the aforementioned Underdark storyline.
There was the Sundering with ties to the Arena of War mobile game, novels, and all the adventures of the past year.
Now there's this. Which, when you think about it, really doesn't sound *that* different from what they've done in past events. The reason it's getting so much hype is likely because they're not ready to hype D&D5...
