Wizards of the Coast is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons releases of Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat by collecting both adventure books in a single volume. Tyranny of Dragons will feature a custom cover from Hydro74 as well as cleaned up errata, presentation, and more. The 224 page hardcover will carry an MSRP of $49.95 when it arrives October 22nd.
From Wizards of the Coast:
To celebrate five years since its initial release, Wizards of the Coast announced Tyranny of Dragons, a single special volume re-release of the two-part adventure from 2014 featuring a new cover designed by Hydro74, to be sold exclusively through game and hobby channels on October 22!
Nathan Stewart, VP of D&D, had this to say: “Dungeons & Dragons means a lot to millions of people and we’re excited to celebrate everything the community has achieved in the five years since we launched fifth edition. Tyranny of Dragonswas an iconic adventure out of the gate, and we’ve made it even more memorable by putting it all under a new cover featuring the visage of Tiamat in Hydro74’s distinctive style.”
Tyranny of Dragons is a 224-page adventure taking players from level 1 all the way to level 16 as they contend against the Cult of the Dragon’s plans to bring their queen Tiamat to the Forgotten Realms. This volume combines the two previous titles (Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat) into one book, updating the adventure by incorporating feedback to smooth out the curve for new players, while adding resources previously available only online and a special gallery of never-before-seen concept art.
I love collector type stuff for 5E but not this crappy campaign. When he getting the core books in leather bound?
As I mentioned on The Daily Dope last night, when I covered this news piece, I don’t think much of this campaign either and surprised it’s getting a special edition.
