Upcoming Themes: In addition to revisiting some D&D classics, we have all-new adventures that support a number of upcoming issue themes. October is Kara-Tur month, and we have a compelling adventure with assassins galore called “The Five Deadly Shadows,” accompanied by articles describing a Shou town in Marsember(in the Forgotten Realms) and a Shou village in Kara-Tur. Other themes include “touch of evil,” “skullduggery,” and “gods & primordials,” and to support them we have adventures such as “Zhentarim Forever” (for evil-curious adventurers), “For the Xanathar” (set in the pirate city of Skullport), and “Drums of Thunder” (an epic elemental romp pitting the heroes against powerful primordial titans).

D&D Encounters Extensions: We also have several fun low-level adventures planned, including a couple of extensions to upcoming D&D Encounters seasons. Our next one is a mystery set in Neverwinter called “That Which Never Sleeps,” which follows hot on the heels of The Lost Crown of Neverwinter season and pits the heroes against a monstrous aboleth that’s driving the citizens of Neverwinter mad.

Campaign Setting Support: In addition to our monthly “Eye on . . .” columns by Ed Greenwood, Keith Baker, and Rodney Thompson, we have meatier articles and adventures planned for some of our most popular campaign settings. In addition to Forgotten Realms adventures, we have Moonshae and Skullport mini-campaign guides and articles exploring Suzail and the royal court of Cormyr. Work has begun on an Eberron adventure called “Dead for a Spell,” which begins with a murder in Sharn and places the heroes at the heart of a conspiracy with roots tracing back to the Last War and implications that could shatter the Treaty of Thronehold and ignite tensions across the Five Nations. Meanwhile, fans of Dark Sun can look forward to “The Tsalaxa Vendetta,” which pits heroes against the most ruthless merchant house in Draj.
