[D&D5E] Lost Laboratory of Kwalish

[Havard]

New DMsGuild release from WotC:

Lost Laboratory of Kwalish explores an alternate expedition into the Barrier Peaks. The legendary inventor disappeared in the peaks eons ago… as it turns out, finding a crashed planar ship and studying its technology to fuel his own experiments—only now, Kwalish’s lost research is desperately needed!

For characters 5th-10th level.

This adventure explores two locations within the Barrier Peaks, and includes new monsters, magic items, and spells, plus sci-fi trinkets, random encounters, and even rumors of the area submitted by the player community! Further featuring new art, maps (from Claudio Pozas), and even a cartoon (from Jason Thompson)—as well as the famed suit of powered armor, as edited by Jeremy Crawford on the Dragon+ livestream!

Best of all, all monies that Wizards of the Coast receives from sales of this PDF are donated to Extra Life. Your purchase of this adventure goes to a truly great cause!

What do you guys think of the idea of a reimagined expedition into the Barrier Peaks? Is this the first time this ship is connected to Kwalish?

Jeremy Crawford's Power Armor reminds me an awful lot of the Blue Rider...

This sounds like a tribute and I have great respect for tributes

Some good info in the "Discussion" about this title, as well, from the author.

Not sure I'm going to plonk down $10 for a partial rehash, though. Especially if it's another "let's shoehorn this into the Realms" deal...

IIRC, the Apparatus of Kwalish was a magical item created by Tim Kask. I don't know if anything has been written about Kwalish himself before?

Not much. The Apparatus of Kwalish was probably an homage to Tim Kask's Kwalishar campaign that he ran while at TSR. I'll dig into the materials again, but I don't recall there being an actual Apparatus in there
