THE JOURNEY BEGINS!

My friends, fellow wanderers of the Realms,

You’ve journeyed with me through many corners of Faerûn over the years, and today, it brings me tremendous joy to announce something truly special. Our next great adventure: RealmsBound, a brand-new Forgotten Realms project launching on the Dungeon Masters Guild in Q1 of 2026!

In partnership with the wonderful folks at Mythmakers, RealmsBound is a new saga within the Forgotten Realms; a series of interconnected releases that explore beloved lands in greater depth than ever before.

Our first destination: The Dalelands.

The debut volume, Guide to the Dalelands, expands upon the foundations laid in Adventures in Faerûn and Heroes of Faerûn, exploring each Dale in extraordinary detail. Our full slate of releases for 2026 includes:

·         Guide to the Dalelands

·         Inn Sites of the Dalelands

·         Delves of the Dalelands

·         Adventures in the Dalelands

My creative partner on this project is Mythmakers Studio, led by Eric Menge, who will be serving as Creative Director. Many of you will recognize Eric’s name from his decades of work in the industry; his passion and meticulous attention to lore make him the perfect steward of this journey.

The writing team features both familiar Realms voices who have authored many tomes in the past, and rising stars in the design community, each bringing their own spark to this grand endeavor.

And best of all, this is just the beginning. RealmsBound will explore a new region each year, gradually expanding the world and revealing new stories about the lands and legends of Faerûn.

You can learn more by wandering over to RealmsBound.com and subscribing to our mailing list for exclusive previews, updates, and behind-the-scenes insights.

So gather your party and pack your gear, friends.

The journey begins soon.
