On Friday, Wizards of the Coast announced the next supplement for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition. There’s weren’t a ton of details over the weekend but since then WotC has supplied an official press release for Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes. Gamers will learn about various races and places across a variety of planes straight from the journals of the legendary Greyhawk wizard. Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes will arrive in select stores on May 18th (including a variant cover), with a general release on May 29th, and will carry an MSRP of $49.95.
From WotC:
Discover the truth about the great conflicts of the D&D multiverse in this supplement for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
One of the most powerful wizards in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse shares some of his hard-won knowledge with fans in a new book full of lore and monsters for D&D fifth edition. Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes is available everywhere on May 29, but you can pick up a limited alternative cover in game stores on May 18, 2018.
Mordenkainen hails from the City of Greyhawk, but over the eons he has expanded his mastery of the major conflicts in the multiverse. Similar to 2016’s Volo’s Guide to Monsters, Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes not only contains everything you need to run challenging new monsters at the table with your friends but also provides tons of storytelling information on some of the most contentious relationships in the multiverse. You’ll learn more about the schism between drow and other elves, githyanki and githzerai, and dwarves and duergar, in addition to reading about the incessant Blood War between demons and devils.
Players will love to delve into Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes to search for story hooks to use with their characters, as well as try out some of the player options for races like tieflings and elves, or maybe an otherworldly githyanki or githzerai. Dungeon Masters looking for inspiration and greater challenges for players who have reached higher levels of play will find much to explore in Tome of Foes.
