Vecna Trilogy refers to three adventure modules for 2nd Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, loosely connected by their central antagonist, the eponymous Vecna, whose schemes threaten the worlds of Greyhawk, Ravenloft and Planescape.The name Vecna is nearly as old as D&D itself. At first, it would appear merely as a mention in Eldritch Wizardry, one of the supplementary books for the original edition of the game, a name of a powerful lich who has perished but left behind him two powerful artifacts. The Hand and Eye of Vecna could grant the user immense power, as long as they were willing to sacrifice their corresponding body parts.With the dawn of the Second Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, the story has been expanded. In the world of Greyhawk the name Vecna is shrouded in legend and whispered in fear. Vecna was a lich who created his own evil empire and sought not only to conquer the whole world but to ascend to godhood. He was, however, betrayed and destroyed by his right-hand, the vampire Kas. His artifacts were all that was left of him and without them, he cannot return to the material world. Vecna could be an evil influence, trying to corrupt wearers of his artifacts, but had not made an appearance in any of the official D&D supplements.That changed in 1990 with the publication of a high-level adventure Vecna Lives! by David "Zeb" Cook. In it the party was desperately trying to first stop Vecna (who had been elevated to a demigod status) from returning and, failing that, to find a way to defeat him. The adventure's intended ending is Vecna being banished from Greyhawk to an unknown world.In 1998 a sequel, written by Monte Cook (no relation), has been published under the title Vecna Reborn!. In it turns out Vecna has been trapped in Ravenloft, becoming a Darklord with his own domain. Or rather half of it, the other half being ruled by Kas, the two's punishment being to always be at war with one another but never able to gain an upper hand as neither can cross to the other's half. But Vecna schemes still and the party has to prevent him from escaping.In 2000 Wizards of the Coast, having acquired rights to Dungeons & Dragons, has published the final adventure for its 2nd edition, written by Bruce R. Cordell and Steve Miller - Die Vecna Die!. An adventure spanning worlds of Greyhawk, Ravenloft and Planescape in which Vecna's ambitions threaten the entire Multiverse. His new plan is not to just escape Ravenloft but to achieve the power of a greater god, take over Sigil, and reshape the whole existence in his image.In 2024, as a part of D&D's 50th Anniversary, Wizards of the Coast announced a campaign Vecna: Eve of Ruin, which serves as a sequel to the trilogy and the classic adventure Rod of the Seven Parts, with Vecna now seeking to assemble the Rod in his plan to reshape the Multiverse once more. Aside from returning to Greyhawk, Planescape, and Ravenloft, the campaign promises Vecna's ambitions will also threaten worlds of Dragonlance, Eberron, Forgotten Realms, and Spelljammer | |

Card-Carrying Villain: Vecna actually revels in his Dark Lord persona and doesn't hide his evil. How evil is he? Citadel Cavitius is an enormous skull shaped castle. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: More subtle than in classic modules, but Mordenkainen, Tasha, and Alustriel Silverhand team up to cast an ultrapowerful Wish to cause Vecna's defeat. A wish by a trio of such powerful mages would annihilate most villains, but against Vecna it can only summon player characters. There is also the fact that Vecna managed to force Lolth — a goddess and recurring Greater-Scope Villain — into his service. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: One of the promo images for the campaign shows Vecna opening a portal right into Wizard Three's hideout in Sigil, unleashing hordes of Miska's wolf-spider demons on Alustriel, Mordenkainen, and Tasha. Nothing like that happens in the adventure - the entire campaign hinges on Vecna not finding out the three and the party are working against him until the final confrontation, because he could annihilate them with a wave of his hand. And once Miska is freed, his forces fight against Vecna. | |

Senseless Sacrifice: The people of Tovag throw themselves at Vecna's armies in hopes of keeping him contained but Vecna doesn't have any interest in Cavitius because he knows it's an illusion and his freedom won't be impeded by any mortal force of arms. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Vecna Lives! has an alternate ending in case the party fails to stop the titular villain. Some would argue Die Vecna Die! had him win in the end, due to the fact it caused a shift to 3rd Edition of D&D - an edition in which full casters, like Vecna himself, reigned supreme over everything else, at least mechanically. More directly, Vecna ascended to become one of the primary deities of D&D. While he didn't take Sigil as he'd hoped, he essentially achieved or advanced all his other goals. | |

Rogues' Gallery Transplant | |
| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_2f8c5157 | comment |
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Probably the most famous example in D&D, as Vecna managed to jump from an iconic Greyhawk villain to one of the most iconic villains in the game as a whole, leaving his mark on both Ravenloft and Planescape and causing an in-universe move to 3rd Edition, in which he was part of a standard pantheon, allowing him to be a threat on Forgotten Realms and any other world it was used for. | |

Reincarnation: Effectively, Vecna's plan for escaping the Demiplane of Dread is to reincarnate himself in an unborn child outside of his domain. | |

All Your Powers Combined: Vecna's plan to escape Ravenloft is to absorb the powers of Iuz and become a greater god, making him too powerful for the Dark Powers to contain him. | |

Action Survivor: Even the high-level party in Vecna Lives! and Die Vecna Die! is helplessly outclassed most of the time, while the party in Vecna Reborn! is better off avoiding dangers altogether and opting for stealth. | |

Eye Scream: The Eye of Vecna has one condition to work - you need to gouge your own eye and insert it in your empty eye socket. | |

The Chosen Many | |
| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_a2fea27d | comment |
More subtle than in classic modules, but Mordenkainen, Tasha, and Alustriel Silverhand team up to cast an ultrapowerful Wish to cause Vecna's defeat. A wish by a trio of such powerful mages would annihilate most villains, but against Vecna it can only summon player characters. | |

Karma Houdini: Vecna again - if the party defeats him, the worst they can do to him is banish him to Oerth and cut him off from other worlds. Which is a setback to his plans but nothing compared to what he deserves. | |

Near-Villain Victory | |
| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_ac6ea68c | comment |
Near-Villain Victory: This time this is exploited - when Vecna is closest to achieving his goal, he is expending so much power to do so he can actually be fought and beaten by the PCs for the first time in the series. Meaning the PCs have one shot at taking him down, but if they fail, all is lost. | |

In the module just like on games that used it prior, it's just a normal skull.

Unexplained Recovery: Mordenkainen is back to normal after being driven insane in Curse of Strahd with no explanation note Ed Greenwood claims Elminster and Storm Silverhand helped him recover, but even then he had a relapse after a failed possession attempt by Larloch, which may probably confuse players who finished that campaign.

| Vecna Trilogy (Tabletop Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: A rare non-video game example, Vecna cannot be beaten by the Circle of Eight and will eventually kill them all. Notable because the players will be playing the Circle of Eight. | |

Wise Serpent: According to some legends, the lich-god Vecna received some of his magical mastery from an entity called the Serpent, which has been speculated to be a godlike embodiment of Magic itself or even something Above the Gods. However, its nature (and existence) remain unconfirmed. | |

Evil Is Petty: Vecna once had all of the people of a city executed except for the officials because the latter begged for the former's lives. | |
