Waterdeep: Dragon Heist und Dungeon of the Mad Mage - New Campaign

[Stefan]

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is Dungeons & Dragons next storyline

You’ve stopped the Cult of the Dragon and Tiamat, battled the cults of Elemental Evil, survived the horrors of Ravenloft, fended off the demons of the Abyss, tangled with the giants, and trekked through the jungles of Chult as you prepared to take on one of the most infamous liches around. Now, it’s time to head to the Forgotten Realms’ City of Splendors — and maybe steal from a dragon.



Today, Wizards of the Coast announced that Waterdeep: Dragon Heist would be the new Dungeons & Dragons storyline coming this fall. It takes place in the Forgotten Realms setting’s Waterdeep, the City of Splendors. This weekend’s Stream of Many Eyes will feature re-creations of locations from the jewel of the Sword Coast, such as the Yawning Portal Inn (which will also serve as a hub for the upcoming mobile game Warriors of Waterdeep) and the Field of Triumph, an arena inside the city. The storyline centers on an urban treasure hunt, and the book will come with rules and ideas for running adventures and campaigns in cities. D&D has long released products about cities from its popular settings, including earlier boxed sets on Waterdeep itself and Greyhawk.

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist will be available everywhere on September 20 – with more details to be announced on the Stream of Many Eyes – and the official Dungeons and Dragons website.

For more details on Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, watch the Stream of Many Eyes on D&D‘s Twitch channel today and over the weekend. You can see the schedule of presentations and streamers here.

Product Overview - Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Explore the mega-dungeon of Undermountain in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

In the city of Waterdeep rests a tavern called the Yawning Portal, named after the gaping pit in its common room. At the bottom of this crumbling shaft is a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring adventurers. Known as Undermountain, this dungeon is the domain of the mad wizard Halaster Blackcloak. Long has the Mad Mage dwelt in these forlorn depths, seeding his lair with monsters, traps, and mysteries—to what end is a constant source of speculation and concern.

This adventure picks up where Waterdeep: Dragon Heist leaves off, taking characters of 5th level or higher all the way to 20th level should they explore the entirety of Halaster’s home. Twenty-three levels of Undermountain are detailed herein, along with the subterranean refuge of Skullport. Treasures and secrets abound, but tread with care!
