Wizard Tower of Atok Henald

 Atok Henald seemed like a humble quiet scholar of the arcane arts. Little was it known just how powerful he truly was, and the mysteries he had unlocked in his Wizard's Tower.

Mystery Map - Tomb of Solwey

 Solwey was a half-elf prince whose tomb was built long ago. He was a conqueror and a ruthless warlord who amassed great wealth in his life. He wanted to become a Lich to live forever, but the spells failed. The tomb is said to be enchanted with wards of protection to thwart any would be tomb robbers.

Spelljammer 2022

 Spelljammer came out at a time I'd lost interest in D&D. It was early in the 2nd edition era. The idea did intrigue me and at some point I picked up the original boxed set. I will say this for 2e, while I didn't care much for the aesthetics of that edition it did have some fantastic Campaign Settings. This new edition looks to be very tempting. I'll add that I like the orientation of that DM's screen, I've always preferred the horizontally layout to the vertical ones. Much more useful at the table without blocking view of the play area.

It is a bit odd that the new Dragonlance and Spelljammer were announced so close together. You'd think they'd space these things out a little more. 





Dragonlance 2022

Even though to some Dragonlance was the end of a golden era for Dungeons & Dragons, it will always hold a special place for me as the first Dragonlance calendar with all that amazing fantasy art made me want to become an illustrator and set me on that path. I don't know how well the current regime at Wizards will handle this world, but I'm hoping for the best.

Wizard Tower of Gaindrac-Kefas

Gaindrac-Kefas was an apprentice of Dorac the Dreadful. He was a kinder soul, less given to the dark arts and once he achieved the rank of Master he hoped his tower of learning would be a beacon of light. Dorac did not take kindly to his former apprentice departing from the dark path, and so cursed him. Gaindrac-Kefas has not been seen since. 



A two-part tower, the upper section held aloft by strange arcana. A portal connects level 1 to level 4 (and back) if the correct incantation is known to activate it.
