D&D 5E (2024) What Is 2026's Big Adventure

[Parmandur]

Is this really a change worth getting worked up over? I don't think so.

How dare you defy our most sacred and cherished traditions.

 

[Reynard]

Maybe they are changing the way they present adventures and dispensing with the walls of text and pointless prose. With some word economy, you could easily cut most WotC campaign length adventures in half without losing actual adventure content.

I don't think they are doing that, but they could.

That would be too much to hope for!

not sure anyone is getting worked up over it. If this ends up being 160 pages and levels 1-12 then it is a big adventure, if it is 80 pages and levels 7-12 then it is not. Given the price point I expect the latter, that is all there is to it

Dragon Heist was 5 levels and more expensive than Deadfall. By comparison, this is a deal.

Also, a 7-12 adventure would be a year of play for most groups.

That was the level range of Red Hand of Doom. Was that an adventure that shortchanged anyone?

 

[Zardnaar]

WotC you level up faster. I think DiA has 8 or 10 encounters for level 7-9 or 8-10 iirc.

I did not include Dragon Heist in my list of big adventures either. There is more to it than the price point

so? It still is not a big adventure in the tradition of almost all adventures (not anthologies) we got for 5e
