Critical Role Do you think WotC will update the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting guide?

Do you think WotC will update the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting to make it an official D&D?

I mean I know their is an issue with Green Ronin, but that solution is to just use Green Ronin to help make the book, they have hired third party RPGs companies to make official books before.

 

[Morrus]

I would imagine not. They tend to do one setting book and move on.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Nope. No need. There are two more continents on Exandria, so if WotC wants more product from Mercer, they just ask him to work on continent #3.

 

[Urriak Uruk]

Yeah I doubt it. I won't say "never" because I didn't really think Wildemount was ever going to happen. But it doesn't really seem like something Wizard's, or even Mercer, would be that interested in doing. Rewriting a book that's already made seems too repetitive for both parties.

Mercer would love to be able to include some of the elements of the Tal'Dorei CG into what is currently released. As his wife is playing a Cobolt Soul Monk, you know he wants to put it into the official WotC books. Given the record pre-sales of the Wildemount book, I think it will go back on the table if it is not already in progress. Most likely, they'll release it as as Exandria Book that repeats some of the concepts from the TCG, but not all of them (so no feat to cast an additional 1st or 2nd level bonus action spell), but will spend some time focusing on areas that Vox Machina and the Mighty 9 have visited that werenot detailed in the prior books.

Given the massive sales of Wildemount, I agree, this has to be tempting, its low hanging fruit. The Critical Role Crew and Green Ronin would be most of the work, WotC tweeks it, then they role it out, very littke effort required on WotC's part, with a ton of sales. It won't be this year.

That would take alot of effort, I think WotC will take the easy route first, then go to Continent #3 when the next season of CR is over, when ever that happens.

WotC loves being repetitive, it cuts down on how much effort they have to expend. They've reprinted stuff so many times this edition, its starting to become a predictable pattern. Reprinting is their jam, for them its a feature, not a bug.

I think that Matt already knows where Camapign 3 will take place and will be building it with a new WotC book in mind as he goes. I'm betting it is Issylra, although I hope it is Marquet. He may surprise us and set it 50 years after Vox Machina in Tal'Dorei, though.

Surprise, it's in the Shattered Teeth
