Back in March 2024, WotC unveiled the D&D 50th Anniversary Play Series (see "Play Series"), which kicked off with the Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth adventure to preview the Quests from the Infinite Staircase anthology (see "2024-25 Deets and Dates"). Now, WotC has added three more in-store events for retailers to schedule. There will be an event tied to each of the new core rulebooks headed to market (see "'Dungeons & Dragons 2024' Lineup").
Each Play Series event in this round of events will have free code-claimable adventures on D&D Beyond. These events utilize pre-made characters and have content from the new core rulebooks. The 2024 Player's Handbook event can be run from September 3, 2024 to October 7, 2024, and The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide event can happen between October 29, 2024 to November 25, 2024. The 2024 Monster Manual event runs from February 4, 2024 to March 3, 2024.
