This might not be the only Setting released in 2020, as long as all the settings are connected to each other (like you can get to Exandia from FR to Greyhawl, to Kynn to Nerath, to Mystara, to Birthright to Sigil to Spelljammer, to Ravnica, to Eberron, ect.
Plus given much of the work was undoubtedly done by critical role, it will likely be like Aquistitions Inc book, and "not count" towards using a slot in WotC's release schedule, which means there is more room for other books. And if this is successfully it will encourage WotC to do more Campaign Setting Books. So I understand and sympathize with them.īut I understand why they went with this, CR setting has a proven and huge fan base and WotC wants to tap into that. I mean even FR doesn't have a proper Campaign Setting Book for all of Faerun yet. I suspect it's more to do with how long it's taking them to get to traditional and well loved D&D Settings. UPDATE! Barnes & Noble has the cover (but not the title or description). This brings the list of settings in official D&D books to five: Forgotten Realms, Ravnica, Ravenloft, Eberron, and Wildemount. Start a Dungeons & Dragons campaign in any of Wildemount’s regions using a variety of introductory adventures, dozens of regional plot seeds, and the heroic chronicle system-a way to create character backstories rooted in Wildemount.Įxplore every corner of Wildemount and discover mysteries revealed for the first time by Critical Role Dungeon Master, Matthew Mercer.Ĭritical Role's other setting, Tal'Dorei, was published a couple of years ago by Green Ronin.Uncover a trove of options usable in any D&D game, featuring subclasses, spells, magic items, monsters, and more, rooted in the adventures of Exandria-such as Vestiges of Divergence and the possibility manipulating magic of Dunamancy.Delve through the first Dungeons & Dragons book to let players experience the game as played within the world of Critical Role, the world’s most popular livestreaming D&D show.Within this book, you’ll find new character options, a heroic chronicle to help you craft your character’s backstory, four different starting adventures, and everything a Dungeon Master needs to breathe life into a Wildemount-based D&D campaign…
Somewhere in the far corners of this war-torn landscape are secrets that could end this conflict and usher in a new age of peace-or burn the world to a cinder.Ĭreate a band of heroes and embark on a journey across the continent of Wildemount, the setting for Campaign 2 of the hit Dungeons & Dragons series Critical Role. The Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty are carving up the lands around them, and only the greatest heroes would dare stand between them. Outside of Wynandir, on the edges of the Dwendalian Empire, the cultures and peoples of those regions display a distinctly 14th-century Spanish flavor."Ī war brews on a continent that has withstood more than its fair share of conflict.
Xhorhas has a more 13th-century Romanian flair. The Dwendalian Empire takes inspiration from 15th century Russia as well as Germanic nations in Central Europe (e.g., Prussia). It is described by the official wiki has having "real-world Eastern European influence. Here's some information about Wildemount, which is a continent in the same world as Critical Role's other setting, Tal'Dorei. Amazon appears to have jumped the gun a day early. This book appeared without a title on Amazon last week, and a 'reveal' date of January 9th, which was then later delayed until January 13th. There's no cover image yet, so we're stuck with the "Coming Soon" image.
