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.

First Aid trained Fblthp

The Lost Adventures of Fblthp - entry 2 See previous entry here First Aid trained Fblthp The Pelican swooped down and carried him to a new location. It flew higher and higher until it too was lost. Both entities could no longer see the water and only saw buildings below, with a mighty kick Fblthp indicated to the Pelican that he wanted to be dropped off. He stayed on the rooftop for a couple of days before someone went up to have a break, sneaking his way down into the building proper, he found himself in a seminar of some variety. Sneaking onto the computer he read up on some of the material discovering it to be none other than a first aid course. Adding his name into the system he was escorted to a chair beside one of EPIC's patrons Lisa Cooke. Lisa was enthusiastic enough to see the homunculus but couldn't understand his 'jabbering'. Not wanting to get picked for any answers he hid behind a workbook but was unfortunately singled out to answer questions.... fortunatel

THEY ARE BACK!

 THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THEY ARE BACK! Ladies, gentlemen, guys, gals and my non-binary pals. The benevolent and almighty owners of EPIC Ipswich have returned.  For those who hadn't visited the premises since last Wednesday, Trevor the Founding Father and Trish the Queen of Crafts, left EPIC Ipswich in the very reliable and most capable hands of their staff whilst they were out plotting... erm... I mean planning changes to the business in a conference down in Sydney. After the store nearly burnt down from a fryer being left on over the weekend and its panicked cover-up. The Benevolent and most gracious power couple of the store touched down Monday morning to say and I quote "Yup. That's a mighty fine store we have. Were the garbage bins emptied? Did someone eat my truffle? Did someone forget to feed the work experience people we have locked away in our office?". After finding all the staff members answers acceptable, they finally let me out of the cardboard box they'
