The Oracle Predicts The Future

With today’s official release of Eberron: Rising from the Last War, the countdown to the official launch of the D&D Adventurers League’s Oracle of War campaign has begun. Let’s see what the Oracle’s interpretation of the Draconic Prophecy is telling us about the future.

Campaign Launch in Two Weeks

On December 2, 2019, the first adventure in the Oracle of War campaign officially releases on the DMs Guild. This adventure, The Night Land, launches the characters on a world-spanning story. The characters begin the Tier 1 “Spoils of War” chapter of the campaign as treasure-seeking scavengers, eking out a rough living by trekking into the Mournland to find lost treasures left behind in the nation of Cyre after it was devastated on the Day of Mourning.

On the first Tuesday of each month hereafter, a new adventure will be released, and after a wildly successful preview at Gamehole Con 2019, these adventures are primed and ready to take players into the known and unknown vistas of the Eberron setting.

DDAL-EB-01 The Night Land by Shawn Merwin
A Tier 1 adventure, optimized for 1st-level characters

DDAL-EB-02 Voice in the Machine by Will Doyle
A Tier 1 adventure, optimized for 2nd-level characters

DDAL-EB-03 Where the Dead Wait by James Introcaso
A Tier 1 adventure optimized for 3rd-level characters

DDAL-EB-04 The Third Protocol by MT Black
A Tier 1 adventure optimized for 4th-level characters

Prior to release on the Dungeon Masters Guild, all Tier 1 adventures in the Oracle of War campaign, plus the Tier 1 EPIC, DDEP-EB-01 The Iron Titan, are available for preview at large- and mid-sized conventions and game days. If you would like these adventures at your show, send an email to resource@dndadventurersleague.com with the details of your event and “Eberron Adventures” in the subject line.

Tier 2 Story Preview at Winter Fantasy 2020

Winter Fantasy 2020 (running from February 5–9 in Fort Wayne, Indiana) will preview the next three adventures in the Oracle of War campaign. Here’s the Oracle’s prediction of what those adventures, comprising the Tier 2 “Fortunes of War” chapter, might entail:

DDAL-EB-05 A Century of Ashes by Bianca Bickford
A Tier 2 adventure, optimized for 5th-level characters

DDAL-EB-06 The Last Word by Anne Gregersen
A Tier 2 adventure, optimized for 6th-level characters

DDAL-EB-07 Song of the Sky by Stacey Allan
A Tier 2 adventure optimized for 7th-level characters

Want to know what happens? You’re going to have to show up to find out. Of course, you can wait for the release in the Dungeon Masters Guild. BEWARE SPOILERS ONLINE!

Salvage Bases and Salvage Missions

A frequent question voiced by players has been regarding the release rate of campaign adventures. For many players, a once-per-month campaign meets their needs. For those who want to play more often and make Oracle of War their main campaign, we offer the following solution.

The Oracle predicts that in early 2020 we’ll see on the DMs Guild a product called Oracle of War: Salvage Bases and Missions. This product provides new campaign options for both players and DMs. Here are some highlights:

Players can participate in special adventures called “salvage missions.”

While these adventures will not provide treasure or magic items, they will provide unique rewards known as “salvage.”

Build and upgrade a custom Salvage Base on the edge of the Mournland.

These salvage bases won’t just be usable in salvage missions, they’ll also become important in the Oracle of War’s Core Storyline adventures as well. Salvage base upgrades provide downtime activities and boons that can aid scavengers in all their adventures.

Create your own salvage missions.

The product contains several premade salvage missions. In addition, DMs can use the guidance provided to create custom salvage missions: bringing their own creativity and personalized storylines to their Oracle of War campaigns. DMs can run their own salvage missions at conventions and game stores without needing approval from campaign staff.

Level up if you fall behind.

Salvage missions also act as a means for players who have fallen behind in terms of character level to easily catch up to others. Characters completing a salvage mission can choose to gain a level as a reward if they need to catch up with other characters in the group.

D&D Adventurers League: Birds of a Feather (Tier 2)

D&D Adventurers League: Day of the Devil (Tier 1)

The streets of Baldur’s Gate run red with blood. Old blood. The blood of Hellriders. Someone or something is punishing the children for the sins of the father and it’s time to put it to an end. Who and where is Gharizol? Part Three of the Betrayal is in the Blood series of adventures.

D&D Adventurers League: Escape from Elturel (Levels 1-2)

Damnation! The Companion that once stood as a beacon of hope and goodness above the city of Elturel has been extinguished and the entire city—along with its denizens—have been drawn into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells! While those fortunate enough to have been outside of the city’s walls during its departure have been spared that fate, but they’re not yet out of danger! The refugees formed a caravan bound for the nearby city of Baldur’s Gate. Can you keep them safe from devils, bandits, and one another until they reach safety?

D&D Adventurers League: Fences and Swords (Tier 2)

The Northern Moonsea region has recently been plagued by a mysterious pirate ship, which is seemingly able to appear without warning and then simply vanish. Instilling fear, and beginning to impact trade, those with vested interests in the area need this thorn removed from their sides. First, however, they must first discover where the mysterious ship calls home.

D&D Adventurers League: Hungry Shadows (Tier 1)

Bodies continue pile up, and the Flaming Fist still has nothing but a name. Thankfully, the perpetrator of the murders has slipped up and the Flaming Fist has captured one of their underlings, in turn, has revealed the presence of a cult hideout in the sewers beneath the city. The Flaming Fist has asked that you investigate. Are you up for the task? Part Two of the Betrayal is in the Blood series of adventures.

D&D Adventurers League: Impression Left Behind (Tier 3)

Elanil Elassidil’s successful recovery brings dire news, and only enough to raise the fears of all. On the urgent request of the factions, a covert raid party must be sent in to secure as much knowledge as possible, and destroy whatever schemes lie below.

D&D Adventurers League: Infernal Pursuits

A horse race in Baldur’s Gate becomes a hellish battle on infernal war machines in Avernus when the characters get caught between an evil merchant and his warlord rival. Time to hang on for dear life!

D&D Adventurers League: Into the Darkness (Tier 3)

As Faerûn recovers from the demon threat, a prominent leader goes missing. Is this a simple rescue mission, or is there more at stake?

D&D Adventurers League: Stopped at the Gate (Tier 1)

It’s been a long, arduous trip, but you’re finally here—Baldur’s Gate. You’re not out of peril yet, however, even if you’re leaving the lawless wilds behind you, the streets of the Gate still run red with blood. But you quickly find that arriving at the city wasn’t the biggest challenge at all, now you must convince the city’s rulers to grant asylum to you and those in your charge. Part One of the Betrayal is in the Blood series of adventures.


D&D Acq Inc: Franchise Fracas (Tier 1)

D&D Acq Inc: Insider Dealing (Tier 1)

Acquisitions Incorporated has identified an excellent new expansion opportunity. A local noblewoman is looking to outsource her family’s stewardship of the lands around Delver’s Run. Taxation being a highly lucrative business, Home Office has sent a team of interns to win that contractby any means necessary.

Omin Dran has learned of Portentia Dran’s diabolical scheme to taint the name and reputation of Acquisitions Incorporateda play which is to be performed at Portentia’s conference for new, potential, and repeat customers she calls DranFest.

Each prospective intern must first complete a week of orientation training to ensure that Acquisitions Incorporated is the right fit for you!

D&D Acq Inc: Pound of Flesh (Tier 1)

A follow up experience to D&D Acq Inc: The Side Hustle.

D&D Acq Inc: Side Hustle (Tier 1)

The city of Waterdeep is a hub for adventure and commerce alike, and wide-eyed would-be heroes swarm its streets in search of fortune and fame. Those adventurers all know that there is no quicker path to both those things than a prestigious internship at Acquisitions Incorporated. So how can one group of plucky entrepreneurs distinguish themselves from all the rest…?

D&D Acq Inc: The Silver Star (Tier 1)

A member of the Silver Sliver has been appointed as interim sheriff of the small boomtown of Delver’s Run, and his openly anti-mercantile views are already making business difficult.

Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount

Stay Informed
Author: 
Matthew Mercer/Wizards RPG Team
Synopsis: 

Create your own Critical Role campaigns with this sourcebook for the world's greatest roleplaying game!

Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount provides everything you need to play Dungeons & Dragons on the continent of Wildemount (set within the world of Exandria)—a land of war, betrayal, and swashbuckling adventure.

Comprised of four regions, Wildemount provides endless potential for adventure in a land of brewing conflict and incredible magic. Rising tensions boil over into all-out war between the politically dubious Dwendalian Empire and the light-worshiping wastefolk of Xhorhas, supplying a vibrant backdrop for any D&D campaign to explore.

  • Uncover a trove of new options usable in any D&D game, featuring subclasses, spells, magic items, monsters, and more, rooted in the adventures of Critical Role—such as Vestiges of Divergence and the possibility manipulating magic of dunamancy.
     
  • Start a campaign in any of Wildemount’s regions using a variety of introductory adventures, dozens of regional plot seeds, and the heroic chronicle system—a way to create character backstories rooted in Wildemount.
     
  • Explore every corner of Wildemount and discover mysteries revealed for the first time by Critical Role Dungeon Master, Matthew Mercer.

Where can I buy it?

Pre-order at your local game store, book stores such as Barnes & Noble, or online at retailers like Amazon. Also available for pre-order at D&D Beyond and Fantasy Grounds.

Description: 

This book’s contents include the following:

  • An expansive Wildemount gazetteer.
  • Descriptions of the major factions of Wildemount.
  • Player options that include new subclasses, new spells, and a tool to help players deeply integrate their characters into the setting.
  • New magic items, including weapons that become more powerful to match their wielders.
  • New creatures native to Wildemount.
  • Four introductory adventures—one for each unique region of Wildemount.

Largely written and helmed by Matthew Mercer, the Dungeon Master of Critical Role and creator of the world of Exandria, this 304-page book features work by talented designers, writers, and artists from the D&D and Critical Role communities.

Explorer's Guide to Wildemount is an expansive, vivid campaign setting anyone can enjoy regardless of their familiarity with Critical Role, and an open invitation to make the mysteries and dangers of Wildemount your own.

Greg Tito

Greg Tito has had weird and long career as an Off Broadway stage manager, a playwright, a theater carpenter, a secretary, an RPG designer, a games journalist, and now a PR/Marketing person. He has loved Dungeons & Dragons ever since 1985 when he found an old copy of the AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide on his brother’s bookshelf and he honed that love of fantasy storytelling in the dark streets of Sasserine by way of the Upper West Side gaming group he joined in 2004. He moved his family (wife + two young kids) to Seattle in 2015 to work on D&D and he’s never looked back.

Shelly Mazzanoble

Shelly Mazzanoble will always play a magic-user. There. She said it. Enough pretending to want to break out of her comfort zone. She’s a magic-user. She’s also the brand lead for Avalon Hill and loves talking about that one time she played Diplomacy and SOMEONE (okay, it was Ben Petrisor) stabbed her in the back and took over her beloved Russia. If you enjoy tales of sorcery, board game upheavals, and reasons her 3 year-old is crying (HINT: She tried to make him eat a Nutella crepe), find Shelly on Twitter and Facebook.

About the Guest:

 

Scott Sutherland

Scott Sutherland is a meteorologist and science writer for The Weather Network. There, he shares his enthusiasm for weather, astronomy and space, using writing and storytelling skills he honed over more than 40 years of playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Scott is an avid LEGO builder, and he has designed some innovative paper & cardstock terrain pieces for the campaigns he's played in over the years (including an astral sailing ship, Baba Yaga's Hut, & some really cool vehicles and set pieces for Gamma World!). He has even worked on writing projects with the legendary Gary Gygax!

As a meteorologist, Scott's passion for weather has looped back into his gaming. Partly, this is by contemplating a Tempest Cleric or a Storm Sorcerer for some future game, but also in thinking about how to use weather as a storytelling tool in campaign and adventure planning, and how it can act as both a boon and a bane to characters during encounters.
