OK #DnD peeps, figure I'll ask here.

Anyone pre-order the new #Phandelver campaign, #ShatteredObelisk? Is it just an expansion of the original Lost Mines campaign or did they tweak that as well?

Wanted to kick off something new with the group and do some pre-work but didn't know if it'd be worthwhile reading the original campaign if they changed/added a lot in the new one.

@MichaelMukalian I have been wondering the same... Like it could be a whole new campaign intended to revisit a favourite adventure. Or it could be the continuation many of us have always wanted. Personally I would like the latter, and I read into one of their messages that it could BE the latter, but I often read things wrong.

@MichaelMukalian After a quick search, this claims it'll be an expansion: https://dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/phandelver-campaign/

Yeah I read that earlier...everything reads expansion, until the new bestiary and the horror slant, which implied to me changes to the original...so in a lil bit of a pickle now as to do I start w/the old now, or wait.

@MichaelMukalian If you're limited on time/energy, I'd say your safe to hold out I think. Can always catch a recap on Youtube if you need to, I'm sure they're out there. If you can spare it, always fun to read through, and it's a fun adventure to read and learn from, for sure!

Yeah I've some travel and vacation time coming up where I can just devore my reading to this...so may be worth boning up on the original, and then tweaking after the new stuff comes out in 2 months. Good ideas.
