In the previous livestream for Sword Coast Legends, the upcoming RPG based on the 5th Edition of D&D, the player was tracking down a necromancer by the moniker of “the Ashen Priest”, and this time we get to see the conclusion to that hunt—except, we watch a DM set up a dungeon and DM it in real-time for the player. You can watch the video above.

DMs in Sword Coast Legends can select the difficulty of the game, the size and complexity of the map, the tile set of the environment, and even the monsters that will appear. In this video, we’re treated to a Duergar Stronghold populated by Drow and Duergar.

The Dungeon Master’s primary resource is “DM Threat”, which is generated by interacting with the player and providing them with a challenge. DMs can spend Threat to customize the dungeon experience, using it to change encounters (from “Air Raid” to “One-Sided” to “Narrow Ambush”, and so on), spawn monsters, promote and demote enemies, set traps, lock and hide doors, take direct control of NPCs, and more. Throughout adventures, DMs will also find DM Loot Drops, which will put extra options in their arsenal. The Dungeon Master’s presence is represented by a magical wisp, so players will be able to tell when they’re near.

We’ll let you know when there’s more Sword Coast Legends news. In the meantime, check out our archives for the roleplaying game, which are linked below.
