Wizards Of The Coast’s Special D&D Tyranny Of Dragons Release

October 28, 2019 by brennon

Wizards Of The Coast are coming back to their first big campaign book which led many into the world of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. They have looked back at Tyranny Of Dragons with a fancy new piece of art from Hydro74.

Here is the background to this double adventure...

"In an audacious bid for power, the Cult of the Dragon leads the charge in an unholy campaign to bring Tiamat back to Faerûn. Alongside their dragon allies and the Red Wizards of Thay, they sweep from town to town, laying waste to all those who oppose them and gathering a hoard of riches for their dread queen.

The threat of annihilation has become so dire that groups as disparate as the Harpers and Zhentarim are banding together to fight the cult. The heroes must succeed, or Faerûn will succumb to draconic tyranny. In the end, the world will never be the same."

So yes, this new book features the campaigns of Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat alongside concept art showing the creation process, errata and finally a reworked opening chapter.

I have played through some of the opening stages of this adventure and it really is a lot of fun. One of the key things is that it actually does what it says on the tin. This is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure with both dungeons and dragons!
