The tabletop format of Dungeons & Dragons might seem far removed from the digital medium that is video gaming, but that dividing line becomes thinner and thinner as time goes on. In fact, playing D&D digitally has been a growing trend for quite some time, whether by humble, low-tech methods such as play-by-post or utilizing mediums such as Skype or ROLL20 to get a much-need roleplaying fix without all the hassle of organizing a live, in-person session.

Neverwinter is doing something a little different for module 29, completely revamping the once-vaulted adventure zone Mount Hotenow with some massive improvements.

Neverwinter: Mountain of Flame Hands-On Preview - Mount Hotenow Is Hotter Than Ever

Joey Brown — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 16:00:12 GMT

Neverwinter's 29th module Mountain of Flame is taking things in a completely different direction from the one-two punch that was Spelljammer and Adventures in Wildspace. The first key difference is that rather than being an all-new zone, Neverwinteris unvaulting and completely overhauling the classic Mount Kotenow adventure zone that was shelved back in module 21. Another contrast from Spelljammer and Adventures in Wildspace is that Mount Hotenow is one larger zone, rather than a collection of disparate asteroids and planetary landing zones.
