D&D Dungeon Master's Expansion 2024 Italian Edition
Adventures in Faerûn
"Open the book and the entire continent is yours. From Icewind Dale to Baldur's Gate, every region awaits for you to decide what happens tonight."
What it's about
The most extensive overhaul of the Forgotten Realms ever published for D&D
Adventures in Faerûn is the Dungeon Master's Expansion for the Forgotten Realms, finally available in Italian edition. A 288-page hardcover volume that places the most celebrated fantasy setting of all time into the DM's hands: lore, locations, factions, and encounters, ready to become your campaign.
Inside you'll find five mini-settings, each with its own gazetteer and distinct theme: from the icy survival horror of Icewind Dale to the high magic inspired by the genies of Calimshan, all the way to the urban dark fantasy of Baldur's Gate. More than that: over 50 ready-to-use adventures for characters from level 1 to 15, written in a single-page format that you can bring to the table with minimal preparation.
This is not a rulebook. It's a campaign-generating machine: 37 new enemies (including the iconic drow of Lolth and the gigantic genie Biha Babir), 12 magic items, dedicated strongholds for each region, and a complete introductory adventure, Lethchauntos' Lost Library, for characters from level 1 to 3.
The first major official return of the Forgotten Realms as a complete setting after over a decade. A book that doesn't reinvent Faerûn: it refines it for the new era of D&D.

Who this expansion is really for
Adventures in Faerûn is a book designed for those behind the screen. But "the DM" is not just one person: here's what four very different profiles will find in it.
If you're a DM looking for material
Over 50 one-page adventures, each with a situation, a hook, two or three encounters, and a map. Open them, read them in five minutes, bring them to the table tonight. It's the ultimate cure for the question "what are we playing this week?".
If you're a Realms veteran
Even if you know Faerûn by heart, the timeline here moves forward. The five regions are not just simple gazetteers: they introduce new events, unprecedented threats, and twists you've never read before. Fresh material on a world you thought you knew everything about.
If you're coming from Baldur's Gate 3
You loved the Sword Coast in the video game and want to play it at the table. Baldur's Gate has its own chapter, and from there you can expand to the entire continent. The natural bridge between the PC screen and the Dungeon Master's.
If you build long campaigns
Each region includes a campaign framework that suggests how to take characters from level 1 to 20 in that area. Not just scattered ideas: a structure upon which to build years of play without inventing everything from scratch.

FrogScore FroGames.it editorial rating based on volume content, international reviews, and table useWhat you'll find in the volume
Four pillars of Adventures in Faerûn
5 mini-settings
Dalelands, Icewind Dale, Calimshan, Moonshae Isles, and Baldur's Gate. Each with its own gazetteer, factions, dangers, and a distinct genre, from survival horror to urban intrigue.
Over 50 ready-made adventures
Single-page adventures for characters from level 1 to 15. Situation, hook, two or three encounters, and a map. Designed to be played with minimal preparation.
37 enemies and 12 magic items
New monsters and antagonists, from the genie Biha Babir to the iconic drow of Lolth, plus twelve Realms-themed magic items. Fresh material to turn players into monster-slaying legends.
Introductory adventure
Lethchauntos' Lost Library, a complete module for characters from level 1 to 3, customizable for any setting. The ideal way to kick off a new campaign.
Honesty first
What you WON'T find in this book
We'll tell you before you buy. Adventures in Faerûn is a Dungeon Master's expansion, not an absolute starting point. Here's what it doesn't contain, so you know exactly what you're buying.
The D&D core rulebook
You need the 2024 Player's Handbook and the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide to play. This is a setting and adventure book; it does not contain the basic rules of the game.
Player material
No subclasses, feats, backgrounds, or playable species. That part is in the companion volume, Heroes of Faerûn, the player's expansion. This is 100% Dungeon Master side.
A single linear campaign
This is not a single start-to-finish adventure like Rime of the Frostmaiden. It's an anthology of ideas and regions: you weave the plot, choosing what to play and in what order.
Adventures up to level 20
Ready-made adventures go up to about level 15, and the introductory one covers levels 1 to 3. To push a campaign to level twenty, you'll need to expand the proposed region frameworks yourself.
Digital content or VTT included
Animated maps, the Atlas of Faerûn, and packages for Roll20 or D&D Beyond are sold separately. This is the physical Italian hardcover edition.
Adventures that run themselves
The one-page format is very fast, but some adventures require careful reading and some refining work. The book provides the tools: the direction remains in the DM's hands.
No surprises
To run the first session, you only need this
✅ You need…
- This book for lore, regions, and adventures
- 2024 Player's Handbook and 2024 DM's Guide
- A group and a free evening
- Dice and character sheets for your players
❌ You do NOT need…
- To know the Forgotten Realms by heart
- Weeks of preparation for each session
- Other previous setting manuals
- Online accounts or digital support
FroGames Tip
Don't read the book from beginning to end. Choose just one region that inspires you (Icewind Dale for horror, Calimshan for high magic, Baldur's Gate for intrigue) and start from there with the introductory adventure Lethchauntos' Lost Library. The other four regions will remain there, ready for when your campaign wants to expand. This is how a 288-page book becomes years of gameplay instead of a brick to study.
"The Realms will know your name. But first, they'll need to know your players'."

Full volume contentWhat you'll find in the 288 pages
🗺️
The five regions of FaerûnFive places, five different genres
Dalelands
Frontier villages surrounding the ruins of the ancient elven city of Myth Drannor. Exploration, dungeon crawling, and a threat awakening beneath the forests.
Icewind Dale
A frozen land inhabited by supernatural horrors, aberrations thawing beneath the glaciers, and threats lurking under the aurora borealis.
Calimshan
Intriguing genies, cursed artifacts, and decadent city-states. Court intrigue, high magic, and urban exploration in the book's most striking region.
Moonshae Isles
Celtic-inspired islands with a deep connection to the Feywild. Sea adventures, political tensions, and dark fairy tale themes between nature and corruption.
Baldur's Gate
Faerûn's most infamous city, made famous by Baldur's Gate 3. Urban fantasy, political corruption, and moral ambiguity, with references to the video game.
Lethchauntos Library
The complete introductory adventure, levels 1 to 3, dedicated to a buried library consecrated to Mystra. Adaptable to all five settings.
How a campaign is born
From closed book to legend
What really happens between the moment you open Adventures in Faerûn and the evening your players carve their names into the Realms.
Choosing the region
You browse the five settings. Icewind Dale calls to you with its frost, or perhaps Baldur's Gate wins. In ten minutes, you've decided where your campaign will live.
The first adventure
You read The Lost Library of Lethchauntos. Half an hour of reading and you have a complete module for levels 1 to 3, ready to introduce players to the themes of the Realms.
The first session at the table
The party enters the forgotten library. Mystra, lost magic, a mystery to unravel. You haven't prepared for weeks: you read one page and started playing.
The campaign takes shape
Between sessions, you pick one-page adventures and weave them into the region. A faction becomes an enemy, a genie appears. The story grows on its own.
The Realms know their name
Months later, the characters are monster-slaying legends. The region you chose is now their home. And four entire settings still await discovery.
How to organize a campaign
Four steps, zero endless preparation
Choose a region
One of the five, based on the genre you want to play. Read only its chapter: powers, dangers, gazetteer, and campaign framework.
Start with the introductory adventure
The Library of Lethchauntos takes characters from level 1 to 3 and immerses them in the themes of the Realms. It's designed to start any campaign.
Weave in adventures
Between sessions, pick one of over 50 one-page adventures. Situation, hook, encounters, map: run it with five minutes of reading.
Expand to level 20
Follow the region's campaign framework to push the saga to higher levels, or cross the continent to another setting.
Honest comparison
Adventures in Faerûn versus other setting books
Three different ways to provide material to a Dungeon Master. Here's where this expansion stands compared to a classic setting book and an adventure anthology.

|---|---|---|---|
| Book type | Setting + adventures | Setting guide | Adventure anthology |
| Rules Edition | D&D 2024 (5.5e) | D&D 5e (2014) | D&D 5e (2014) |
| Regions covered | 5 with distinct genres | Sword Coast only | Only one (Candlekeep) |
| Adventures included | Over 50 + 1 introductory | None | 17 short, varied |
| Ready to play | Yes, one-page format | Lore only, prep required | Yes, but little lore |
| Ideal profile | DM who wants all of Faerûn | Setting lore reader | Looking for quick one-shots |
Why it's worth 59 euros
Six concrete reasons to put it on your shelf
Over 50 adventures in one book
The one-page format makes each adventure usable in five minutes. It's material that would be enough for years of sessions, collected in a single volume.
Five regions, five genres
From the polar horror of Icewind Dale to the high magic of Calimshan. Changing regions means completely changing the campaign's tone without changing books.
Lore updated to 2024
Not just a simple gazetteer: events advance the Realms timeline. Even veterans will find information they've never read before.
Campaign frameworks up to level 20
Each region suggests how to take characters from level 1 to 20 in that area. A structure on which to build a long saga, not just scattered ideas.
Realms-themed enemies and items
37 new adversaries and 12 magic items rooted in Faerûn lore, including the return of the classic Lolth drow absent from the new Monster Manual.
Italian hardcover edition
288 full-color pages, hardcover, entirely in Italian. The first major expansion of the Realms setting in over a decade, in your language.
How long it will last on your shelf
A book that doesn't run out in one campaign
The first campaign
Choose a region, start with the introductory adventure, and weave in the ready-to-play adventures. You'll easily have six months to a year of sessions with only the preparation you choose to do.
From the second campaign onwards
Four entire regions and dozens of unused adventures remain. Change genre, change continent, start again. It's a book you'll return to for years, not a box to empty.
Bring home an entire continent of stories. Your next campaign begins on a single page.
