Question

What information does the Intro to Adventurers League D&D Celebration 2021 day one segment cover?

I'm looking for a concise summary of the information contained in the convention segment.

Answer 1

Largely basic information, with a few small reveals

The full D&D Celebration Day 1 VOD is available on YouTube. The AL segment begins at 2:28:00.

Bee, Ma'at, and Amy explained the basics of Adventurers League, such as:

• Everyone uses the same set of rules, in order to keep everyone on the same playing field.
• Portability continues to be a major pillar of AL, allowing you to play the same character at game stores, conventions, online, and at home.
• AL campaigns, including Forgotten Realms and Ravenloft: Mist Hunters. (They didn't mention the Eberron campaign - Oracle of War - as Mist Hunters lead into a discussion about content warnings.)
• The official D&D Discord server, with channels for AL and non-AL content for both players and DMs.

They also revealed that a few items can be found on the D&D Celebration 2021 map (without telling us specifically how to find them). The map includes the following previews for upcoming content:

The upcoming Drakewarden ranger and updates to dragonborn.

They also discussed content warnings and safety tools:

• TTRPG Safety Toolkit (discussed in greater detail in the Mist Hunters Safety Kit blog post)
• X-Card
• Lines and Veils

Lastly, they responded to a few questions from chat:

• They gave several suggestions for accommodations for players with disabilities.
• They clarified that rewards discovered in the D&D Celebration 2021 map count as event awards¹.
