Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle (D&D Next)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle is a D&D Next preview and mini-campaign comprised of four thrilling adventures, designed to advance characters from 1st level to 10th level.

The book also contains everything a Dungeon Master needs to run the adventures, including D&D Next game rules developed during the massive public playtest, monster statistics, spell descriptions, magic item descriptions, and background information on the coastal town of Daggerford, where the campaign is based.

Against the backdrop of the Sundering, brave adventurers must protect the town of Daggerford against an insidious foreign threat while forging alliances, exploring dungeons, and battling monsters. The action moves from the Lizard Marsh to the orc-infested hills, finally culminating in a deadly altercation amid the crumbling ruins of the legendary Dragonspear Castle.

Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle includes pre-generated D&D Next characters, as well as rules for advancing these characters up to level 10. The book also includes the winning character sheet from our recent contest.

We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

In Ambergul Estates quest - where does the L-Shaped secret corridor (area #11) lead? The text says area 14, but the map indicates area 12 behind Alicia's throne?

If I order the print version, do I get an actual print copy or do I get a copy printed from the pdf by DMsGuild?

You get the POD version, which is printed from the PDF. It's a fairly nice product, in full colour and high res, but it's not the same as the book that was first published.

No, you can't buy the original release of the book here. You get a print-on-demand hardcopy version which is 100% suitable for actual use or to keep on a bookshelf, but it's visibly different to the original product that was released during D&D Next playtest. (Content is the same, physical appearance is a little different.)

Is this for 5e? It appears in the hottest 5th edition entries.

It was made for the 5e playtest rules, they're similar and it would be very easy to port over to 5e, but not quite the same.

It's probably listed under "hottest" because it was just made available for print-on-demand (as requested in other comments). As stated in the description, it's actually from the D&D Next playtest before the full 5e release.

This is a Platinum seller at over 290 pages. Why not a print option for this?

So no news on an update for 5e yet or they already said they are not going to? If the latter does someone have a quick reference for changes to make this adventure 5e appropriate?

They're not going to update a years-old playtest product. A fan might put out a guide saying what changes need to be made, but I assume they wouldn't be able to reprint the adventure content itself.

Hello, can someone please tell me what files you get when purchasing this PDF? From my understanding, this was part of the D&D Next playtest materials, and you need more than the actual book to run it properly. Does this purchase come complete with everything needed to run the adventure?

Thanks

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
