I had a player claim that Hoard of the Dragon Queen takes place 800 years afer Dead in Thay. Is that true? My google-fu is failing me. I was under the impression this was months after Dead in Thay, not centuries.

 

The first session went well. I really like Hoard thus far.

It's in 1489

For reference, the Living Forgotten Realms campaign starts in 1479, so if (like me) you'd thought that AL characters would be a full generation behind your LFR characters, you'll have to do a little re-jiggering of your backstories.

So does this Forgotten Realms still have the Spellplague?

I was wondering that when looking at Dragonborn in AL, else, how'd they get there?

The fact that no specific year is mentioned in Hoard of the Dragon Queen is not an oversight. The date is intentionally left vague so DMs can place it where they like in their timeline.

Random side note. The Murder in Baldur's Gate adventure book in the page 2 sidebar says, "... the time of the Sundering, a period of years after 1479 ..."

 

I like the flexibility of not having the date nailed down. The Year of Awakened Sleepers is 1484. The Sundering is getting into full swing by this time.
