The new D&D books coming out in 2023

 


If you have not been following the last week of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) or Magic the Gathering (MTG), the parent company of both major games - Wizards of the Coast, just announced their next lineup of 2023 projects including the titles of D&D's upcoming books. Here's all the details we know about the upcoming releases.


Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen

Dragonlance has been a long demanded set that D&D 5th edition returns too. Set in the world of Krynn, this setting has proven to be quite popular in previous editions of the game. What makes the module unique is that it takes place during the war of the lance and has a board game releasing alongside it that may be played independently or incorporated into your campaign. The board game "Warriors of Krynn" plays out alot of mass combats (something D&D as an RPG has failed to do accurately) and will enable players to move between the D&D RPG and Warriors of Krynn game with equiptment and consequences from both games impacting the others. This is the last D&D project coming out in 2022.


Keys From the Vault

Keys from the Vault is the first module to be released in 2023 and will copy the now popular anthology like books, containing a series of small adventures that can be made into a campaign (much like Tales from the Yawning Portal, Candlekeep Mysteries, Journey through the Radiant Citadel etc...). This book will revolve around magical heists and stealing as a group of thieves.


Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants

Although the title mirrors that of the recent Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse, this book is much the same as Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. Fizban's success at introducing the dragons back into Dungeons and Dragons will hopefully carry over D&D's other massive race and bring out Giants into campaigns unlike any 5E modules before it.


The Book of Many Things

Not alot has been revealed about this thus far, we know it is a source book and will likely be filled with, magic items, monsters and prompts similar to the magic item the deck of many things...


Phandelver Campaign

Whilst it is unclear if this is the definitive title, WotC (Wizards of the Coast) revealed this is a campaign set after the events of the Lost Mines of Phandelver Starter Kit Module, for those looking to carry into a full scale campaign and continue on learning D&D with the characters they created in the starter kit.


Planescape

The extremely popular setting for many an oldschool campaign, Planescape returns D&D to Sigil, the City of Doors and the Lady of Pain. All we know is this will be another three book release with a DM screen exactly like WotC's treatment of Spelljammer thats just been released. We will likely see a Campaign book, Monster book and a mini campaign book complete with a DM screen. Slip cases appear to be an ongoing release product with recent releases, as such expect to see as alternate cover set too.


And thats it! That's everything you need to know to be "in the know" about all the future D&D books coming out. I personally am super excited to see more core books and settings, expect more backgrounds, races, spells, feats and magic items in 2023.

Your Friend and Ally,

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

Team Cupcake and Why they run Bingo

Bingo has been a staple at EPIC Ipswich since it first opened, originally running 6 Games a week (3 in the morning and 3 at night during weeknights), now it sees over 100 people weekly for our Friday night Bingo and our end-of-month Speed Bingo, a late session after the normal Bingo held on the last Friday of each month. To the surprise of many, EPIC Ipswich merely provides the staff and venue for BINGO, it's actually organised by Shell's Team Cupcake, a not-for-profit organisation. But what is Team Cupcake and what is their mission? How did Team Cupcake come about? Team Cupcake Inc started out with a couple of friends and some family raising money to pay for a beloved friend's secondary cancer treatment. Along their journey, we discovered that there were many other people in Ipswich that need a little helping hand and sometimes just needed to know that someone was thinking of them and cared. And so Team Cupcake became incorporated so that they could help to ease the burden...

The Adventures of a D&D Penguin - a Kids D&D Game

Say what you like about the mind of a child, there is no denying the imagination we had as kids vastly changes as we all come into adulthood. For me it’s something I feel is a loss – I could spend hours in the backyard of my childhood home, swinging sticks like they were swords, lightsabers, magic wands or a wizard’s staff. Nowadays I spend time imagining social interactions in my head, playing out a scenario in my head on drives between places or as I make my morning coffee, comparably less cool than being a freaking wizard! The fact I still can recall a lot of those games of make-believe around my junior school playground speaks volumes about the impact imagination has on a developing brain. This is one of the reasons I am constantly dumbfounded when I DM (Dungeon Master) a game of  Dungeons and Dragons for kids and they do something truly amazing that ruminates in my mind and happily lives there rent-free weeks after it’s. This, dear reader, is the story of how my  Dungeon...
