New D&D Adventure “Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple” Debuts at PAX 

Wizards of the Coast has just unveiled a new adventure entitled Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple that will debut at PAX East in Boston from May 8th to 11th, 2025. The new module will be a tie-in to the upcoming Forge of the Artificer sourcebook and will be run by longtime convention TTRPG play organizer Baldman Games.

So just what can players expect when in this latest return to the world of Eberron? Below, we crack open all the details.

What is “Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple” about?

So far, Wizards of the Coast has provided only a few tidbits on what’s involved in the adventure. The official synopsis reads as follows:

Your group has been dispatched by Morgrave University to travel to Xen’drik and seek out the Crab Temple. It’s a race between your expedition and a rival to discover its secrets! Premade level 3 characters are provided, featuring rules from the new Player’s Handbook and first looks at options from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.

We do know that it will be the first official DnD adventurer set exclusively in Eberron since the Rising from the Last War campaign book was released in 2019 – although Eberron did appear as one of the locations in the Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign in 2024.

Final Thoughts

It’s not clear if Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple will be available to the general public after PAX East is over, but chances are good we’ll see it as a free or paid module on D&D Beyond sometime in the near future.

In the meantime, if you are attending the event and want to sign up, just visit the PAX East schedule, click the “Categories” dropdown and select “Tabletop RPG” (you’ll see the adventure listed as one of of the options). You can also find more information on the official Baldman Games Discord server.

His favorite D&D campaign setting is the Forgotten Realms and his favorite character to play was a Half-Orc Barbarian named Grug (who was unfortunately devoured by a gelatinous cube).
