Dungeon & Dragons is set to introduce an new adventure – “Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk.” The launch date is confirmed for September 19, 2023, providing players with a fresh storyline filled with mystery, peril, and courageous exploits.
In a narrative that starts in the beloved town of Phandalin – the location many D&D enthusiasts will remember from the acclaimed “Lost Mine of Phandelver” adventure – a new challenge has risen. A nefarious cult, devoted to an ominous deity, intends to convert Phandalin into the epicenter of their evil empire, instigating an epic quest to thwart their plans and safeguard the town and its denizens.
Here are some compelling features of “Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk”:
- A quintessential dungeon crawl experience, offering an engaging platform for both new and experienced Dungeon Masters and players.
- A harmonious blend of the cherished “Lost Mine of Phandelver” quests and an all-new adventure, mixing time-honored D&D themes with an element of horror.
- An extensive bestiary boasting approximately two dozen new entities exhibiting psionic magic, morphing horrors, and more.
- An expanded magic appendix introducing novel consumable metamagic items and the arcane arts of the duergar.
- A handy double-sided poster map illustrating the Phandalin region on one side and the key points of interest in Phandalin town on the other.
The package includes both a printed adventure book and a digital copy available on D&D Beyond. An early bird offer provides pre-order customers with early access to the module on D&D Beyond starting September 5, 2023.
