D&D: Joe Manganiello Joins New ‘Skyraiders Of Abarax’ 5E Setting
Skyraiders of Abarax is a new campaign setting from Tracy and Laura Hickman– with a little help from Joe Manganiello.
Earlier this year, a couple of the co-creators of Dragonlance and Ravenloft announced a new 5th Edition setting: Skyraiders of Abarax. Tracy and Laura Hickman’s work at TSR paved the way for some of the most memorable campaign settings.
This new setting launched earlier this week on Kickstarter. It’ll be created with the help of some veteran tabletop creators, including Joe Manganiello and Larry Elmore.
The Kickstarter campaign promises a two-book set, plus a Living Tome System. The System turns out to be a specialized app that is connected to lore, quests, and other images in the books.
Let’s take a look:
From Joe Manganiello & the ‘Skyraiders’ Team
Venture forth in a 5E-compatible adventure world from bestselling authors Tracy and Laura Hickman. This new world introduces new lands with their own stories and peoples to discover, all built around a magical book that comes to life via the Living Tome mobile app. With two complete manuals packed with original artwork, lore, and enhancements to the core 5E rule set plus a free digital app that integrates the book using AR technologies, Skyraiders of Abarax provides a grand skyfaring adventure filled with hope and wonder.
There are two hard-bound volumes.
The Skyraider’s Handbook is the player’s guide to the new world. Inside are new character creation rules, including new classes, magic items, abilities, and more.
Then there’s the Skymaster’s Almanac, which is the GM’s guide. It leads you through constructing adventures in the new world created by the Hickmans.
Per the announcement, Joe Manganiello has recently joined the team as a creative consultant. He’ll be adding expertise alongside Larry Elmore, who’s doing some amazing art work for the book.
Finally, the new Living Tome system promises to help bring your campaign to life– for certain definitions of “to life.”
