Dungeons and Dragons Encounters

Preview Dead in Thay

Conversation is already hot around the next season of D&D Encounters.

Even though it is not yet available from D&D Classics there are some spoilers available online.

The official blurb has:

This season of D&D Encounters kicks off May 10-11 with a cooperative launch weekend event, and then runs every Wednesday from May 14 until August 6.

Dead in Thay is a tribute to Tomb of Horrors, The Ruins of Undermountain, and other killer dungeons. The monsters, traps, and hazards in the adventure create a deadly challenge.

With Dead in Thay, Szass Tam, the lich lord of Thay, and his Red Wizards threaten to dominate all of the Sword Coast. The Bloodgate, an elemental node of power, must be destroyed in order to stop him.

This adventure is part two of the Dreams of the Red Wizards Sundering storyline, directly tied to Scourge of the Sword Coast, and loosely connected to the events in Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle.

Designed by Scott Fitzgerald Gray. This adventure is part of the Dreams of the Red Wizards storyline, continuing events in Scourge of the Sword Coast.

The Sentinel (The Sundering, #5) by Troy Denning [The Sundered Book Club]

My Good Reads book club is reading the most recent book in the Sundering series from Wizards of the Coast.

This book is so fast paced it is almost scary--likely not worth picking up if you have not already read the other titles--but if you have been playing along this is a Great Fifth Book--really moves things along very quickly.

My original understanding was that Sundering was supposed to correct a lot of the Forgotten Realms chaos created by the 4th Edition Spell Plague stuff, but in actually it is doing a lot more to clarify and correct some of the issues with the FR Pantheon going a lot further back.

A fun read & I really encourage everyone to join in the Good Reads discussion.
