D&D 5E: Dragon Delves - Adventure Anthology

Face the most iconic monsters in gaming history with this anthology of ten dragon-themed adventures, uniquely designed for minimal prep and high-impact play.

D&D 5E: Dragon Delves is the first adventure anthology released specifically for the 2024 Revised Core Rules, launching on July 8, 2025. This 192-page collection is a celebration of D&D's namesake, featuring 10 standalone adventures that span levels 1 to 12. Each quest focuses on a different member of the core draconic family—covering all five Chromatic and all five Metallic dragons—and places them in a distinctive lair that serves as a self-contained "delve."

What makes this book a standout for your DM toolkit is its streamlined prep system. Each chapter begins with a "Quick Start Guide" that summarizes plot points, lists required Monster Manual stat blocks, and provides an NPC cheat sheet. For your "Whispering Dark" campaign, these modules are perfect "filler episodes" or side quests to drop in whenever your party travels between major cities on the Sword Coast. Additionally, the book features 10 unique art styles from various illustrators, ranging from classic high-fantasy to experimental "noir" and "storybook" aesthetics, making each adventure feel like a distinct experience.
