One of the most hotly anticipated roleplaying releases of the second half of 2017 has arrived at your FLGS. The latest adventure supplement for Dungeons & Dragons tasks the players with finding out what’s causing a “death curse” sweeping the land and affecting anyone who has been previously resurrected. Tomb of Annihilation, a 256 page supplement from Wizards of the Coast, takes the characters to the rarely explored peninsula of Chult for fantasy action and mystery. The book is available in print for an MSRP of $49.95 or in digital format, through Steam, for $24.99.
Stay tuned as we’ll have our Tomb of Annihilation review live later this week.
From Wizards:
Dare to defy death in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
The talk of the streets and taverns has all been about the so-called death curse: a wasting disease afflicting everyone who’s ever been raised from the dead. Victims grow thinner and weaker each day, slowly but steadily sliding toward the death they once denied.
When they finally succumb, they can’t be raised—and neither can anyone else, regardless of whether they’ve ever received that miracle in the past. Temples and scholars of divine magic are at a loss to explain a curse that has affected the entire region, and possibly the entire world.
The cause is a necromantic artifact called the Soulmonger, which is located somewhere in Chult, a mysterious peninsula far to the south, ringed with mountains and choked with rainforests.
Adventure design by Christopher Perkins, Will Doyle, and Steve Winter, with additional design by Adam Lee. Story consulting by the award-winning creator of Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward.
