Turn that alt cover into a poster, please.
There was also a Netherese obelisk in Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden
I think there was one in Tomb of Annihilation too.
Most of the adventures has one in them.
There are a lot of them, it is implied in ROTF that Vecna had something to do with them.
@@portsyde3466 With Planescape and D&D’s 50th anniversary coming up everyone’s wondering how they’re gonna tie it all together.
Also in Tomb of Annihilation and I think Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Icewind Dale is the only one that gives real lore though
I'm way more interested in the new stuff since it seems to have a heavier focus on Aberrations which are always cool to me. Hopefully the remaster of LMOP helps clear up some of the issues I've seen some tables have (lack of focus).
Dungeon crawl meets the color out of space, I'm actually super down for this.
DUUUUUUDE THE ALT COVER IS SICK!!! My party has been growing attached to Phandalin while playing Dragon of Icespire Peak so I would LOVE to grab this and adapt it into a post-DOIP adventure for them. I bet I could make it work for higher levels with enough tweaking~
Our master is gonna do that, only we're on a journey so when we come back this is gonna become a level 20 adventure XD
You could run most of the original campaign as something of a light adventure for a higher level party and just let them roflestomp their way through most of it. Up to you whether to skip the side quests or not. Should you wish to pose more of a challenge you can definitely upgrade Venomfang to a higher CR, but probably most places you can just throw more enemies at the players or let them decide how much trouble they want to bite off at one time. You might want to find a bigger cave map for Cragmaw Cave so you can expand it to something more appropriate.
Alternatively you might be able to add a different monster type that wasn't originally used and sprinkle them throughout where appropriate... Maybe some of those psionic goblins, or something.
Lost Mines of Phandelver is one of the best 5e modules imo, keen to see where the higher levels take it.
Most of the fantasy campaigns I've run for new players is Lost Mines and most have gone on to play my own homebrew version of the Sword Coast. Will be interesting to see what WotC comes up with.
I thought it was totally unplayable
@@johndavey2340 in what regards?
@@kingsfan2099 boring encounters and dull dungeon design, plus in a game so obsessed with balance the first creature (even before the monster manual) you encounter can one shot any level 1 and they immediately railroad you into a fight with three of them (I know this was later changed but I bought a box that was so broken it needed a "day one patch"). My table immediately abandoned it and used the starter box rules to play the chaotic caves instead.
@@johndavey2340 That does suck.
I haven’t been this excited for a new campaign in a long time. I’m excited to see how they changed the original adventure. I really hope it’s well written.
Just bought the book im a big fan of lost mines of Phandelver! Super excited!
My daughter and I are about to finish lost mine! This is great!
YES. Phandelver was the first thing I did as a DM and I had so much fun, it has a special place in my nerdy little heart. A Phandelver remaster with psionic gobbos and abberations is THE thing I didn't know I wanted. Now, where's my wallet...
Ditto... first campaign I ever DMed and granted I was very awkward starting out still my players loved it... fun fact don't make tokens out of paper lol 😆
I was very cold for this product, thinking of it as a starter box add on.. but I like the aberations and return of a villain. I think I'll get this.
Very smart of them to provide people a way to extend play beyond the starter box.
I can’t wait to run this and explain the retcon to the original adventure by having my players characters wake up from the illusion of saving the “normal” Phandalin and discover to their horror that their minds were being toyed with, perhaps imprisoned by Glasstaff or the Black Spider, thus adding to the eldritch feel of this re-flavouring. (Explaining any irregularities and loose threads I left out in the process.) From there they can get their bearings and dive into the mind-bending madness this claims to deliver. So many established characters and story beats from my table’s version of the Starter Kit can be changed with that twist as we continue. So stoked!
Cool idea!!!
Interesting... I already came up with a similar thread in an exp game... where it was like "you wake up in shackles" where a previous epic battle was retconned as a dream. While they didn't keep the epic loot, they did keep the exp. It was always a dream so maybe retcon was a bad word.... but they did keep exp and key information which was used as an advantage. Sometimes badguys monologue near unconscious players lol
"It was all just a dream" is such a bad trope, please reconsider this!!
@@monkeibusiness Not a dream, but an illusion. They still saved Phandalin as per the original adventure and as bit of homebrew, but as things shift in front of their eyes, they’ll begin to question if they can trust their senses, perfect for a Lovecraftian evolution of the story. The trope is more like “Schrödinger's Butterfly” than “It was all just a dream”. Their choices and action still have tangible outcomes… but not always in the way they’ll expect.
I played LMoP as my first 5e D&D adventure as the DM. I liked it a lot. I hope to run this sequel for my group someday soon. Hope it will be good. My current already advanced their LMoP characters beyond 5th level so they need to create new PCs & I can run them through Dragon of Icespire Peak first.
I've bought but never run the Lost Mines of Phandelver. But I do like it. Interested to see that there's more past the last page of that first booklet, even though I'd have to buy the adventure again (even if it is remastered)
I'm DMing Lost Mine of Phandelver right now. I guess i need to give it a look, maybe come back to phandalin a couple adventures after we finish the campaign
Give me spoilers lol. I’m running LMoP right now and would love to be able to know if we’re going to be able to continue into this if my players don’t reclaim the mine.
This looks very interesting, I keep being tempted by the original 5e Starter Set just for the adventure module.
This is cool, our current campaign started in Phandalin and that's our home base.
We're now in Icewind Dale and we have plans for later but when we come back this sounds amazing.
Make sure to have them run across the Obelisk that is up there!
6:50. What makes dungeon crawls great is that they’re a descent into the mythic underworld, where the normalcy of the mundane is left behind, and we enter a bizarre world of weird dream logic where anything can happen. To paraphrase Q, “It’s not safe down there. It’s wondrous, with treasures to satiate appetites both subtle and gross. But it’s not for the timid.”
that alt cover is pretty impressive! now the important question, will there be a dice set? because that green would look real good in dice form :D
This sounds cool! But do they clean up/flesh out the character of the Black Spider? Because I found him lacking in motivation and there was contradictory advice in the book about how to play him.
This is the first time that I am going to get the alt cover. That thing is insane!
A remaster / sequel to Lost Mines of Phandelver? Consider me intrigued.
That cover art is fantastic.
Very exciting. I did have to watch it twice just to pick up on everything said :-)
This and the keep on the borderlands to me are true wholesome real pure dungeons and dragons so high bar is set for this book to follow up the original lost mines of phandelver that’s a high bar Goodluck staff and creative team.
Had to record this one in the break room? The background noise is pretty noticable.
That alternative art cover is really wicked. Van Richten Guide to Ravenloft has the brst alternative cover art though.
I will probably never run this but will buy it just for the alt cover
That's really nice. But I can't help but wonder if we're getting more One D&D videos this week. There's a way to check it out ? A date maybe ?
I always enjoyed playing Loot Cave of the original module.
Its vecna, im calling it :)
The edition change will be the return of vecna
MAGIC BRIAN AND SPIDER BRYAN WITH A Y SHALL RICE ONCE MORE! DOWN WITH BARRY BLUEJEANS!
Can you add the alt-covers to the bundled pre-orders. I pre-ordered in June, and would love to have had the option to buy the awesome 'metal' cover
Love Todd's work
If we preordered the bundle will we get the Alt Cover? Or is that only available from game stores? Looking at the image on the preorder page it would appear I'll have to buy a 2nd copy locally to get the alt cover.
Alt covers are pretty much always game store exclusives. It's likely the case for this one too.
I got a copy of the book already.
The Book says that the included Poster Map is for the Players, but it is clearly a DM-Map - showing a lot of Secret Locations like the Wave Echo Cave on the World Map. The individual Location Maps on the back even show Traps and Secret Passages. Is this Intentional?
I was initially disappointed that this adventure was Levels 1-12, rather than 5-17, building upon LMoP and DoIP.
Now, while still disappointed that we have yet another 1-12, it at least makes sense. Rather than building upon LMoP, they've rebuilt and included a version of LMoP.
We do need someone to make more 12-20 expanded campaigns like it would be nice for one cohesive adventure from 1-20 just once.
With the recent resurgence of D&D interest, I don't think there has ever been a better time for D&D to look into creating an animated series of classic beloved storylines (Dark Elf Trilogy comes to mind).
Maybe there won't be a near-TPK in the first encounter in the remaster :p
Vecna Lives!
I think you may be right but I didn't see too many hints in the alt cover. There was a skull but it had no eyes (instead of one) and there was a distinct lack of the hand motif. I hope it's Vecna though.
It's the end of the edition so....makes sense...
@@mooxim The hints of the obelisks being linked to Vecna were in ROTF, but there was very little besides that. Considering they've said that one of the main books coming out in 2024 is the big Vecna book, I wouldn't be surprised if this is setting up for that. Hell, the Vecna book might be a direct sequel and carry the party to lvl 20 (Fingers crossed!)
“Reanimator green…”, for those who’ve seen the movie, this has better not be the source of more RPG horror stories 😂
Here there be gurblins?
Very cool...
Will this book be available in other languages in the future?
So this is a add-on to the adventure? Got the base kit
No, she said it was remastered. The original adventure was tweaked to include hooks and forshadowing for the new plot, which takes up 2/3 of the book.
Do we get a 33% discount if we already own the original adventure?
I wish they were so uptight about spoilers in this video. It would be nice to know a little bit more about the adventure.
Hopefully they have a greater role later in the story for Droop?
He’s a great NPC! I fleshed him out to be quite civilized and he became a Player favorite in my group.
This is ironic, I just ran my first campaign with a new group using the starter set, in phandalin. The group was super sad that we ran through each adventure in this campaign. I just texted the group, and we are all SO STOKED to continue. The real question is, do they continue as their same characters or not? What should I recommend? They built beautifully in depth characters, but they also are excited about the prospect of creating new ones. They asked my advice, and I ask yours.
Make new ones, but make sure the impact of the old ones is noticeable in the region
Have to say I'm intrigued...
Well, I would love to see alt Art covers in other languages, too. They are really beautiful (witchlight for example too) but prefer to read in my own language. 😢
5:58 Tim, I'll take one with 2 sugars, please.
Is thre a german version coming out?
Was the General Store owner changed?
What could it be, and what will you find along the way. Same like fun 😮.
I like that WotC are iteratively putting out these little starting adventures. The big books are really nice, but some times you need a smaller scale story to introduce new people and its nice not to have just Lost Mines to fall back on.
I’m pretty sure this is a full adventure based on LMoP, not a starting adventure
My god! Todd-interviews are a much better way of releasing info than the cringey first-looks.
Todd should exclusively be in every video
In the second VTT version of this module, does Gundren Rockseeker get his own token yet? 🤣😂🤣
Lost mines of Phandelver is 9 years old? Oof...
Let’s go!
Mind Goblins..(Insert Joke Here)..... i see what they did here! Sounds promising!
didnt icewind dale rime of the frostmaiden already describe the obelisk's powers
I've tried running LMoP with 4 of my friends some time ago and the Cragmaw Hideout in the beginning of the game resulted in a TPK. It seemed very likely that at least one player would die, having in mind the low health pool of the players and the number of opponents. How are 4 lvl 1 characters supposed to beat 15 goblins, 1 bugbear and at least 1 wolf?
According to the rules both in the DMG and XGtE, some of the encounters there go way beyond deadly. Let's take the 4 characters group of lvl 1 as an example. An encounter would be deadly to them if the total monster XP reaches 400. In the Goblin Den there are 6 goblins * 50 XP = 300 XP. With the multiplier of 2 that totals 600 XP which makes that encounter alone 1.5 times deadlier than the "deadly" in the DMG (p. 82). Klarg's Cave is even worse with a total of 700 XP.
Not only that, but the expected XP for an adventuring day for that group of characters would be 1200 XP (DMG p. 84). The Goblin Arrows and the Cragmaw Hideout combined total 2500 XP which is also an overkill.
How is that whole thing supposed to work? Especially for brand new players and DMs like us? Either (1) the monsters should be severely weakened/their numbers lowered, (2) the characters should be initially buffed or (3) the group of players should consist of at least 8 lvl 1 characters for the difficulty level to be less than deadly as per the DMG.
Play the goblins suboptimally. They are random goblins, not tactical masterminds. They might run, attack the wrong targets , etc
Does this tie into Dragon of Icespire Peak at all?
No, canonically DoIP takes place after Lost Mines. But you can run them side by side if you want.
@@ShadowmancerLordi'm doing that
Ain't no way they put intellect devourers in my goblins
Really annoying that they spent a third of the book redoing lost mine. This should have been a pure sequel. Like many others, I was interested in this specifically because I ALREADY RAN LOST MINE FOR MY GROUP!! Ripped off.
There is an obelisk in Baldurs gate:descent into avernus.
is the meatgrinder encounter with Goblins still in the book? if a DM knows how to play that ambush map, they can have a 100% TPK ratio.
Salutation, lointain résidents de l'ile des Amériques ... quand @Hasbro et @wizardsofthecoast vont se lancer dans de la traduction locale de DnD Beyond et de son contenu.
One DnD sera aussi localiser pour toucher un public autre qu'angliciste.
Ah, bien sur on tolère quand même que les noms des personnes et des lieux soit conservé ... dans leur langues native car la francisation a outrance et parfois bien plus molle.
Après tout le studio Larian a su le faire.
Oui je sais c'est un copié collé d'un autre post ... mais faut bien attiré l'attention, et je ne gère pas encore des Boules de feu niv 1
Take a shot every time they say “ Spoilers”
Will someone just cast Arcane Lock on that door?
Was thinking the same thing. They really need to use a board room for all these interviews. Way too many people walking in the background, opening the door, talking loudly, etc. It's very distracting.
So this Phandelver adventure is a remake of the original?
Remaster of Lost Mines plus about 200% more content after it.
VECNA IS HAPPENING
Honestly, this is probably the only thing that I’m interested from WotC since the OGL debacle followed by each subsequent controversy the company has had. Might be the last book I ever get from them
Any new races or subclasses coming with this book.
I doubt it, it's an adventure.
This is like one of those movie trailers that basically tells you all the major plot points and potential resolution.
So, what are the chances of a complete psionicist ruleset?
Wasn't the purpose of the obelisks revealed in Rime of the Frostmaiden? My group got that bad ending DX
The Netherese repurposed the obelisks from a design from another, one that is implied to be Vecna. It's still very mysterious and vague, and while ROTF explains one function of the obelisks, they didn't really explain what else they did or how they work. But yes, ROTF has gone the most into detail about the obelisks so far.
@@portsyde3466It's not implied to be Vecna. Vecna owns the last remaining obelisk from the group the Netherese based them off of, and his is much, much more powerful than the Netherese ones.
Seems like an interesting book to pick up! Soo... Psionic and psychic shenanigans, monster, threats? How about we actually getting help from the psychic Gem dragons fighting this threat in official capacity?? Sure we could homebrew in Underdark dwelling Sapphire dragons that often works with the deep gnomes and other Gem dragons to fight abberrations from the far realms etc and possibly this cosmic horror smelling threat. We need more gem dragons and gem dragonborn official art and content, especially the orangish Topazes and Crystal ones. Even ADD Gem dragon ancestries to the Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer in official capacity for new 5e Phb. It shouldnt make Fizbans book irrelevent since, well you forgot to update that book with said Draconic Bloodline ancestries.. Thats all
Can/will WOTC issue a guarantee that no AI generated images made it into this book?
German translation ? o.O
Any AI art in this book?
Seems railroady
Wow... that was quick. "2 Views, 50 seconds ago"
Hey, a video that actually explains the book and isn't full of cringey garbage. Nice!
Did I miss it or did they say this is 5e or One D&D?
One DnD is 5e, so yes.
More Phandelver? Why not explore some new places in Faerun for once...
Yes the adventure that should have been published directly after Lost Mine of Phandelver, instead of at the last leg of the 5e cycle.
It's... not the last leg, lol
so did we cancel that minecraft dnd thing orrrrrrrrrr
the title of this video kills me "Everything you need to know"... except [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] AND [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] [SPOILERS] "
$60 MSRP for a glue bound book in 2023.
Unacceptable.
After all, I'll give you one more chance. I love Phandelver. DM it many times. Please, I want this book to be good. Don't ruin something great. Don't disappoint the community again.
A whole world to explore... Nah, let's go to the same town again.
1/3 of the book is a reprint, lmao
Updated for a modern audience
Pass
You guys need to block out the public space when you film. The background stomping around is distracting
So BG3
Whoever shot this forgot to tell the dev not to look at the camera lol.
