Dungeons & Dragons Online: Masterminds of Sharn Pre-orders Open

Masterminds of Sharn, the next expansion for Standing Stone Games’ long-running MMO Dungeons & Dragons Online is now open for pre-orders. Going live in September, the expansion will let you explore Sharn, an iconic Eberron city, and navigate its power struggles while searching for a stolen artifact. In more practical terms this will mean 16 new dungeons, a new wilderness area and a raid. You will also be able to play as a Tiefling, fight new monsters, and collect new artifact items. Pre-oredering the Standard Edition will set you back $39.99, and it only goes up from there.
