D&D BREAKING: New Book Revealed – Set In Critical Role’s Exandria
Details about the new D&D book appear to have emerged a day early and it looks like Critical Role’s campaign setting is at its heart.
Last week a mystery book appeared on Amazon, the placeholder entry for the March 2020 release. In an attempt to get around the accidental reveals that have come from Amazon and various publishing companies, Wizards of the Coast titled this one the March Release Book (Title Coming January 9th)
January 9th came and went with little fanfare, other than Wizards rolling the title day back to the 13th. Only now, the product page for the March book has been updated, revealing the title of the new book a day early: Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount
This is a complete surprise! Many folks were expecting something related to the “dice and miscellany” of Laeral Silverhand’s Explorer’s Kit. But instead the new book looks poised to take players into the heart of Critical Role’s campaign setting, Exandria. The Wildemount region is the focus of the current campaign, so players and fans of the show will both find new ways to explore this region.
This is Critical Role’s first official WotC published campaign setting–and it looks thrilling. Here’s what you can expect:
