[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 9583396, member: 6803643"] I just read (late to the party) that Adventurer's League is shifting gears to [I]Legends of Greyhawk[/I] setting that is integrated with D&D Beyond rather than its own AL website. I know recent years of AL have opened up for play in the various annual campaign books as WELL as multiple seasons of [I]Eberron [/I]and [I]Ravenloft[/I] and a revisit to [I]Dreams of the Red Wizards[/I]. But I'm pretty sure this is the replacement for those annual adventure paths that were published alongside and themed with the year's hardcover adventure book(s) set in the FR (and/or Baator, Feywild, Astral Sea, Outlands, Far Realm, and EVERYWHERE). This despite the previous statement in 2023 & 2024 that we were getting a [I]Red Wizards [/I]hardcover adventure in 2025 (in 2023 when they announced the 2024 Core, they stated that [I]Vecna[/I] was 2024 and [I]Thay[/I] was 2025; this was still the plan as of last year but I haven't seen any mention of it recently). They have announced an untitled release for October - right after the new Starter Set and right before the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide and Campaign Guide. I wonder if they intend to do a hardcover collection of all of [I]Dreams of the Red Wizards[/I] from[I] D&D Next, [/I]including republishing [I]Death in Thay, [/I]and also including the DotRW previously published by Adventurer's League from 2019-2022 when the AL finally seemed to retire making its own advetures. That would mean updating and including: [LIST=1] [*](2013) The Sundering - Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle [*](2014) The Sundering - Dreams of the Red Wizards: Scourge of the Sword Coast [*](2014) The Sundering - Dreams of the Red Wizards: Dead in Thay [*](2019) Dreams of the Red Wizards: Sea of Fallen Stars - DDAL-DRW01, DRW02; DDEP-DRW01; DDAL-DRW03 [*](2020) Dreams of the Red Wizards: Storm King's Descent - DDAL-DRW04, -DRW05, -DRW06 [*](2021) Dreams of the Red Wizards: Storm King's Descent - DDAL-DRW07; DDEP-DRW02; DDAL-DRW08 [*](2021) Dreams of the Red Wizards: Shadow Games - DDAL-DRW09, -DRW10, -DRW11, -DRW12, -DRW13 [*](2021) Dreams of the Red Wizards: The Cold Dark - DDAL-DRW-EP-03; DDAL-DRW14, -DRW15 [*](2022) Dreams of the Red Wizards: The Cold Dark - DDAL-DRW16, -DRW17, -DRW18 [*](2022) Dreams of the Red Wizards: Frozen Worlds - DDAL-DRW19; DDAL-DRW-EP-04; DDAL-DRW20 [*](2022) Dreams of the Red Wizards: Red Seeds - DDAL-DRW-INT-01, -INT-02, -INT-03, -INT-04 [/LIST] Of course, very unlikely that ALL of the above would be in such a book. But since 2022, AL has been "play past adventures, play DM's Guild adventurese that have been given AL codes, or play the published modules." So this Red Wizards book I highly doubt will be accompanied by a new Adventurer's League season for FR. Instead, Greyhawk will get the Adventurer's League going forward. So I think we can assume that even while they publish FR material, Greyhawk is the assumed core rules setting for D&D 5e.2024. And it's built into the DM's Guide. So I don't think it's a 4th book. But maybe the Legends of Greyhawk adventures, when collected, could be called that? [/QUOTE]
