D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

[Rabbitbait]

Woohoo. I suggested just this two years ago in a thread. A multiverse spanning adventure collecting segments of the Rod of Seven Parts.

D&D 5E - YOU are pitching the next big WotC Adventure. What is it???

You have been asked by WotC to pitch the concept for their next big adventure. What is it? What is the genre? What are the main villains? What levels will it be? Feel free to suggest ideas you think would be successful, or ideas that just match your own personal preferences!

Reading the link, it instead seems to be a repeat of the Die Vecna Die! transform-to-take-over plot. Perhaps Vecna has simply forgotten that didn't work last time?

I think it is unreasonable to expect current adventures to have to be locked into lore from modules that came out 24 years ago and not reuse or reimagine what has come before - though obviously not sure how this particular module handles it.

Greyhawk will bevisited. I am happy with that.

"Archmages, Assemble!". It sounds as a wink to Avengers.

My theory is spoiler: He will lose the hand and eye again!

* Yes, some times I suspect WotC reads us to get some ideas. I don't say it was wrong. If they like our suggestions, why not?

I wonder if this adventure will used to explain some retcon or reboot of the D&D multiverse.

This sounds so neat!! I'm excited to see what the 30+ monsters are, and how they'll tie in all those settings!

Heck, that sounds (and looks) actually really tempting to me. Guess that goes on my "to buy at some point" list.

I think I might get this adventure specifically to take Vecna's ritual and use it in my own version of the Realms to have a fun Planescape Godslayer game.

So I'm assuming it's a Rod of Seven Parts adventure, Vecna has one piece, the other pieces are in the six planes mentioned that tie into previous WotC adventures. If so, that's fire, that's so dope, I really hope they nail this one, I want WotC to release a 10/10 adventure so bad.

Both covers look horrible. You've got cyborg vecna in the first, and a pencil sketch of a hand in the second that looks like it was done via AI.

People gotta stop accusing art of being AI.

Your other point, OTOH, I think has a point. These covers could be a WHOLE lot better than they are. There's not enough going on in either of them, IMO.

wait what?!?!?
This book is coming out before the 2024 PHB?!?!?!?

How can that be??

Also: Shut up and take my $!!!!

Saltmarsh was technically their Greyhawk introduction. So it has been touched upon. Weather that's good enough for some or not is subjective.

It wasn't good enough for WotC to open up Greyhawk to adventurer's guild. But I suspect Vecna or DMG will be.
