This afternoon Wizards of the Coast announced that Waterdeep: Dragon Heist would be the new Dungeons & Dragons storyline coming this fall.
The storyline centers on an urban treasure hunt, and the book will come with rules and ideas for running adventures and campaigns in cities.
Chris Perkins said that this new storyline takes inspiration from classic heist films. It will be an “urban romp,” as you try to stop a group of evil villains from grabbing a treasure trove. But it will also be a toolbox of sorts for creating urban adventures.
“I love this story because it’s not a world-shattering event, You get the sense that you can lose yourself in the city. … After the player characters, Waterdeep is the most important character in the story.” Chris Perkins
In another twist, Jeremy Crawford said that you can choose one of four villains to be the “Big Bad” your players will face, and this choice affects even what season the adventure takes place in.
We have no more information at this point but will be sure to pass that along as we get it. I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting an “Offical” Press release on Monday from the fine folks at WOTC.
