The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is D&D's next big adventure storyline that brings the wicked whimsy of the Feywild to fifth edition for the first time.

The recent Unearthed Arcana, Folk of the Feywild, contained the fairy, hobgoblin of the Feywild, owlfolk, and rabbitfolk. UA is usually a good preview of what's in upcoming D&D books.

Curriculum of Chaos is an upcoming D&D release set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Strixhaven -- a brand new MtG set only just launched.

Strixhaven is a school of mages on the plane of Arcavios, an elite university with five rival colleges founded by dragons: Silverquill (eloquence), Prismari (elemental arts), Witherbloom (life and death), Lorehold (archaeomancy), and Quandrix (numeromancy). You can read more about the M:tG set here.

You will be able to tune into WotC's streamed event D&D Live on July 16 and 17 for details on both, including new character options, monsters, mechanics, story hooks, and more!

More Alice in Wonderland
vibe.

Yup 18th 19th century

Looks like news-ish at 9a Pacific each day this week.

Why does it look like there's a crease down the middle. At any rate, I'm going to take the dragon as confirmation that Dragonlance is coming this summer. And that's definitely Crystalmir Lake. Nothing will change my mind.

The Strixhaven setting has dragons as "dragon founders".

Any connection?

When they tested Centaurs and Minotaurs for Ravnica, a decidedly non-Hellenistic Setting, they billed the UA as "Hellenistic Options," which was true from a certain point of view, but also intentionally misleading.

Long term thinking perhaps? Centaur and minotaur are also in Theros which is a Hellenistic-like setting.

At the time, it was intentional misdirection.

Well, the Subclasses would probably fit with the Dragonsguard security in Strixhaven, but the races and Spellsnwoth FR names...not so much.

Unless the Spells were actMtG Spells, with the FR and Dragonlance names being misdirection.

I wouldn't be surprised. Part of me feels though that they actually meant it but in a way like "yeah, we're doing a classical Greece kind of setting, but we're not going to tell you when.... Here's Ravnica!"

Theros would have been started about a year after that UA, so I tend to doubt it.

I find it kind of weird no one has been able to point out where it came from... I saw it posted on Reddit, but that poster didn't say either. Presumably it came from Fantasy Grounds, but there's nothing there now, so it would have to have been posted and then taken down.

I posted it from this thread, tbh.

 

[ChaosOS]

Giving the fact that WOTC strongly believe in crossing over DND and MTG, since we are at the third iteration, I suppose there is a real positive feedback from these products. But can you observe this? Do you see a large fan movement? Do you see a lot of people playing in this crossover settings? What is your perception about?

For the record, the MTG setting books have sold quite well - not as well as Eberron, but they're beating most of the september hardcovers
