New D&D Rules The Board Game Will Introduce To 5e

screenrant.com:

The Dragonlance campaign setting is returning to Dungeons & Dragons in an unusual way, as it's combining an adventure/setting book with a board game that will handle mass battles. The adventure book will involve a traditional D&D story campaign, with dungeons and exploration, while the board game will feature engagements from the War of the Lance. The two books will introduce new rules that will make characters from one compatible with the other.

The Dragonlance adventure book is called Shadow of the Dragon Queen, while the board game is called Warriors of Krynn. The two are set during the opening of the War of the Lance, which was a conflict that occurred throughout the continent of Ansalon in the world of Krynn. The servants of the evil goddess Takhisis formed the dragonarmies, in an effort to take over Krynn with the aid of the chromatic dragons. The Heroes of the Lance that appeared in the Dragonlance novels would play a huge role in foiling Takhisis' plans, but the readers were only given a small glimpse of the events of the War of the Lance, leaving plenty of room for stories in D&D's Dragonlance campaign setting to be told in the tabletop game by players around the world.

D&D 5e currently lacks rules for mass battles, but Warriors of Krynn will change that. There are few details regarding Warriors of Krynn available at the moment and it's unclear if it's going to be part of a bigger series, but it will include rules that will be interesting to D&D fans. Both Shadow of the Dragon Queen and Warriors of Krynn will launch later in 2022 and more information will be revealed about them in the future, especially if they're set to be the big holiday season
