FAQs

Are the digital expansions exclusive to the Ultimate and Digital Bundles, or can I buy them separately?

Each digital expansion will be available on the D&D Beyond marketplace on the release dates listed above. The Ultimate Bundle saves you money if you're looking to experience the most expansive take on the Forgotten Realms in Dungeons & Dragons history.

What is Astarion’s Book of Hungers?

Astarion’s Book of Hungers is a digital expansion that sinks its teeth into vampire-themed storytelling. Dungeon Masters and players alike will find new character options—including the Dhampir species, 18 feats, and three vampiric backgrounds—perfect for adding gothic flair to any campaign.

The book also offers powerful DM tools: new monster stat blocks for devil-worshipping vampires, bite-sized adventures where players team up with Astarion, and a fully detailed map and backstory for Astarion’s favorite tavern from before the events of Baldur's Gate 3.

Build a bloody new campaign or step into Astarion’s shadowy past with this digital expansion that delivers everything you need to craft a tale of hunger, darkness, and dastardly charm!

Netheril’s Fall is a digital expansion that lets adventurers journey back in time to one of the Forgotten Realms’ most storied empires. This expansion includes the tools you need to play Dungeons & Dragons adventures set in ancient Netheril, a long-fallen empire in the Forgotten Realms.

Step through time-traveling gates to explore the arcane wonders of High and Low Netheril—complete with city maps, gazetteers, and new magic items that were previously lost to history. Dive into adventures set during iconic Netherese events, and face terrifying new monsters, including several new phaerimm.

Whether you’re a time-traveling hero or a lore-seeker uncovering forgotten power, Netheril’s Fall offers a rich and unforgettable glimpse into a legendary past.
