Wizards of the Coast has announced the new D&D Adventurers League storyline, Storm King’s Thunder. The D&D Adventurers League has also announced some details in advance of the season.

This season takes the D&D Adventurers League away from the Moonsea to several locations across the Sword Coast. Revisit Parnast, the town taken over by the Cult of the Dragon; discover Stagwick, a small community on the east bank of the Clear Whirl River; and Beregost a bustling trade town just south of Candlekeep.

Your local Wizards Play Network store and Fantasy Grounds will be able to sell Storm King’s Thunder on August 26th (if they’ve received it), days before the standard release date of September 6th, 2016.

The remaining adventures will become available for general purchase from the Dungeon Masters Guild on the first Tuesday of the month after they premiere.

The first D&D Adventurers League module DDAL05-01 Treasure of the Broken Hoard had its premiere adventure at Origins 2016. The adventure will become available on the Dungeon Masters Guild website on September 6th for everyone to download and play wherever they would like, in homes, stores, conventions, anywhere.
