Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

Today's the day - WotC's latest Dungeons & Dragons adventure, Tomb of Annihilation, is out! Head on down to your friendly (or unfriendly) local (or not so local) gaming (or comic) store and pick up your copy. Alternatively, if you use a virtual table top, it's available for Fantasy Grounds and Roll20.

Maybe they'll release a separate document with that information soon? I don't have the book yet, but based on the description, it doesn't look like it is included in the book... and I don't see any documents for download on the wotc site yet. I wouldn't get too discouraged yet.

Kool but kinda a bummer wanted to play with tortle ppl. Thanks for sharing the info though. Which are the backgrounds if you know any specifics?

Edit: spelling errors due to big fingers and a small phone...

I don't know about grungs, but tortles are being released separately on the DMs Guild soon as part of a supplement to raise cash for Extra Life:

I was under that impression as well.

Nope they've said since the beginning they would be released separately. I believe on DMs Guild later on.

This is correct. The hardcover definitely has tons of great content for DMs who want to run levels 1-4 characters in Port Nyanzaru. My point was that there really isn't an "easy to run adventure" for those lower levels for DMs with limited time to prep. For DMs who have the time and inclination to build their own level 1-4 adventure with the pieces from the book, there is definitely a ton of great material there to do so with.

Agreed. Taking a better look at it this lunch, the city does not contain any mini adventures. Their are many personalities, many little things to do, and information to glean, but no in City mini adventures.
There are many points of interest throughout the land that have information ranging from a simpler paragraph to a full map with many numbered areas. If I counted correctly there are 14 of those kinds of sites that have maps associated with them. In general these locations seem to be challenging for levels 1 through 6.
If you want to run it pure sandbox mode the players will have to be careful least they step into an area they can't handle.

I'm a little bummed that the DM's Guild stuff appears to be online only; no POD options. That kinda sucks

DMsG removed POD options some weeks/months ago. Never heard why, but something about quality or problems getting the proper format from people. Not sure.
