Dungeon Masters Campaign 2: Experience the Magic of Arcana Unleashed

After a campaign of haunted lands, dark choices, and shifting Mists, Dungeon Masters is looking to get some sun in a brighter—but no less deadly—corner of the multiverse.

The second campaign of the official D&D actual play anthology series revolves around the content from the upcoming Arcana Unleashed release and takes our adventurers on a high-magic action adventure set in the Forgotten Realms' Anauroch Desert.

Unleash Arcane Might in Dungeon Masters: Campaign 2

Dungeon Masters' second campaign pairs an arcana-infused actual play adventure set in the Anauroch Desert with the Dungeon Masters: Arcana Unleashed Play-Along Pack you can use to bring pieces of the show to your own table.

You can catch new episodes starting July 8 at 6:30 PM PT on D&D's YouTube channel.

Campaign 2: Arcana Unleashed

Lauren AddyCampaign 2: Arcana Unleashed

Our heroes, magical agents of the Order of the Ninth Quill, are hurled into the lethal expanse of the Anauroch Desert: a shattered wasteland still radiating the catastrophic magic of Netheril’s fall. A fragile, shimmering barrier is all that stands between Faerûn and the arcane horrors buried beneath the dunes—and this safeguard is failing.

If that wasn't enough, our adventurer’s journey is anything but quiet. On the one hand, they must contend with the fanatical Bringers of the Cosmic Dawn, who seek to tear the barrier down in pursuit of their own vision; on the other - the Red Wizards of Thay, who maneuver in the shadows, hungry to seize the arcane power trapped behind the barrier’s walls. Even the desert itself seems intent on killing them.

One problem: This ragtag team still has a lot of learning to do. On the job learning...

Inspired by the high-magic adventure of the upcoming Arcana Unleashed content release and the sweeping lore of the Forgotten Realms, the second campaign of Dungeon Masters follows this pack of charming underdogs as they discover the limits of their arcane powers while trying to keep Faerûn from becoming collateral damage in a magical catastrophe.

Meet the Cast and Heroes

Max DunbarMeet the Cast and Heroes

Dungeon Masters returns with Jasmine Bhullar (DesiQuest, Dimension 20) as Dungeon Master, joined by Mayanna Berrin (Dispatch, The Dungeon Run), Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why, Forgotten Realms), Neil Newbon (Baldur’s Gate III), and Devora Wilde (Baldur’s Gate III).

Together, they bring a perfect mix of magic, danger, and chaos as the Misfits, a party made up of:

  • Sailor, an Aasimar Monk, played by Neil
  • “Princess” Hobnip, a Goliath Fighter, played by Devora
  • Cadmus Pennypetal, a Human Wizard, played by Christian
  • Sapphira Horayas, a High Elf Warlock, played by Mayanna

So, yes, the Realms are in excellent hands. Probably.
