Wizards of the Coast has released a trailer for a D&D: World of Warcraft one-shot set in the Deadmines, the Westfall dungeon that has been part of World of Warcraft since 2004. The Dungeons & Dragons account posted the trailer yesterday at 4:30 PM MST, and the full adventure will stream this Monday, November 16, at 7:30 PM MST on the official Dungeons & Dragons Twitch channel. Check out the official post down below:
The one-shot is run by Jasmine Bhullar, the Dungeon Master of the Dungeons & Dragons actual-play series Dungeon Masters. Her table is made up of D&D creators ZachTheBold and XPLevel3 and World of Warcraft creators Jesse Cox and Bajheera, according to the official trailer description.
What The Trailer Shows
The trailer sets up the adventure with a short narration over clips of the players at the table. "Once rich with gold, now not so much, the Deadmines are rife with banditry, the occasional undead, all kinds of things," the narration says, before adding, "One way or another, you found your way into the Deadmines, and unfortunately for you, the mines found you back." The video ends with a card reading "Deadmines One Shot, This Monday 6:30 PM PT on /DND Twitch." The trailer is also on the official Dungeons & Dragons YouTube channel:
Wizards has not posted a level range or a runtime for the streamed one-shot itself. The stream is free to watch on Twitch.
The Deadmines Adventure In Stores
The Deadmines is also the setting for D&D Encounters: Deadmines Dungeon, the in-store organized play adventure for the book's launch. It opened with a 3-hour Celebration event, Enter the Deadmines, which runs at Wizards Play Network stores through November 29. Four Weekly Play sessions of about 90 minutes to 2 hours each follow from November 11 to January 3, 2027, titled Goblin Foundry, The Trials, Ironclad Cove and The Juggernaut. The adventure starts characters at level 3 and advances them to level 4, and it uses the 4 premade characters featured on Dungeon Masters. The digital kit is free to Wizards Play Network stores, so pricing for players is set by each store.
The Book It Belongs To
Both the one-shot and the store adventure are built on D&D: World of Warcraft, the first Universes Beyond release for Dungeons & Dragons. The sourcebook had early access at core hobby stores on November 3 and launches everywhere on November 17. The physical book is $59.99 and the digital version on D&D Beyond is $39.99, with a $79.99 Collector's Edition, a $24.99 Dungeon Master's Screen, a $29.99 Icecrown Citadel Map Pack for levels 16 to 20, and 2 miniature sets at $24.99 each.
The book covers all 13 World of Warcraft classes and more than 40 specializations, 16 playable species including Dracthyr, Draenei, Forsaken, Pandaren, Tauren, Vulpera and Worgen, and more than 60 spells. It also includes more than 50 monsters, 30 dungeon boss stat blocks, over 20 factions with a renown system and 7 dungeons: Azjol-Nerub, Blackfathom Deeps, the Deadmines, Dire Maul, Onyxia's Lair, Scarlet Monastery and Shadowfang Keep.
The partnership was covered when it was first announced in World of Warcraft Is Coming To Dungeons & Dragons In It's First Universes Beyond Crossover, and the design team has since talked about the book's choices for players in Dungeons & Dragons: World Of Warcraft Designer Says You Can Even Try To Talk Arthas Out Of It.
Bhullar has also been running Dungeon Masters, a weekly D&D: World of Warcraft actual-play series on the Dungeons & Dragons YouTube channel, since September 23. That cast includes Neil Newbon, Devora Wilde, Christian Navarro and Mayanna Berrin, with new episodes on Wednesdays at 7:30 PM MST.
