So, you are looking for some new D&D adventures, hm? Something to really excite you down to your bones? Want something that get you doing your victory dance after defeating a nearly indestructible enemy?

Well, check these campaign books below that might tickle your adventurous spirit! Face off against giants, insane wizards, and –

Well, let’s get into it before I spoil too much.

Storm King’s Thunder

Want something big to fight? We can give you something BIG to fight.

Storm King’s Thunder asks a simple question – what would happen if all the giants around the world suddenly became angry and bloodthirsty? All across Faerun, giants are pillaging, burning, and otherwise conquering. Humanity is left to wonder what is going, and what can they do to save the world from this endless destruction?

That’s where you come in. Fight giants and dragons utilizing ancient rune magics, becoming adventuring titans. Do you have what it takes to fight these colossal creatures? Will you be squished like the rest of Faerun?

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist + Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Welcome to Waterdeep, a city of both strange and fantastic mysteries. The most developed city in all of Faerun, the City of Splendors holds both wonderful and terrifying things to explore.

I am putting these two guides together because Dragon Heist is often used as a lead into Dungeon of the Mad Mage. If your characters are already in Waterdeep, why fix something that’s not broken?

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist will introduce characters to Waterdeep and all of its nooks and secrets. As the title suggests, it is a heist story, so have your masks, hidden identities, and secret gadgets ready! Travel through the numerous districts of the city, learning more and more about Skullport, The Undermountain, and the famous Yawning Portal tavern. Travel into the sewers to face off against creatures of all varieties, and maybe even get to visit the infamous gang leader Xanathar…

Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage progresses characters to visit the Undermountain, some of which is introduced in Dragon Heist. You will have to delve deep into Undermountain, the largest dungeon in all of Faerun. Beneath, you will have to face endless drow, illithid, and the mage who is causing all this madness to begin with.

Balder’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus

Has anyone told you to ‘go to hell’ and you wondered what it would be like? Then Descent Into Avernus is for you.

Baldur’s Gate, always known for its greed and corruption, has fallen into the hands of the archdevil Zariel, tempting officials and the powerful with untold strength. However, if these devils succeed, the gate between worlds will reopen to reignite the Blood War in Faerun! Will you and the party be able to save your home from the fiendish clutches? Or will you be tempted with power, the same as the rest?
