Both Nerd Immersion and Jorphan (the ph is silent) suspect there is a third, unannounced book coming.

Also Nerd Immersion seems to think there is some kind of Critical Role/WotC crossover product that might be coming based on simular announcement times. Perhaps they will be exploring a new part of Exandia next year or WotC is releasing a revised version if the Tal Dorei book (which doesn't count as one of the three new books) in a three way deal with Green Ronin.

That would be James Wyatt's book, Chris Perkin's Summer Adventure (which as enough lore and character options in it by the looks of it, to blur the line between Setting Guide and Adventure), an Updated Tal Dorei Exandia book hypothetically, and a Strixhaven Campaign Setting book.

BTW that is ton of new character options by the looks of it. 4 new races in the Witchlight and who knows how many character options in the other 2 (or three if you count a possibly updated book).

Que the horrified, outraged screams of BLOAT!

Unpopular opinion, but honestly? The cringe people feel watching this is identicle to the cringe I get whenever Bob Salvatore's dark elf is even mentioned. It's the same level of "ewwww" to me.

Neither cringe me out. Honestly this video reminds me of the ASMR roleplay videos I watch to get to sleep at night.

Been saying for a while anyone over 30 is no longer the target audience
10-25 is their key demographic

Just surprised this was on Twitter and not Tiktok

44 here... maybe not their target but... guys... she's beautiful...

Drizz't should have been multi-classed into Bard and then they should have gotten Benedict Cumberbatch to do these little ditties. lol

I initially wasn’t as interested in the Strixhaven book, but I wasn’t with Ravnica either and enjoyed it after I purchased it. I’ll have to give this one a chance too.

Like others mentioned, I think that is Ericka from Girls, Guts, Glory…a fun show to occasionally watch.

I think you will like this book alot more then you think, there is ALOT more to the setting/plane then just MtG Hogwarts, heck it's more then just the school, the past of the Blood Wars (no connection to my knowledge to the Fiendish blood wars), all the different cool races, the different styles of magic, ruins of ancient cities, weird creatures, races, Elder Dragons, the weird way magic works on the plane, the mysterious second continent, an evil, but sympathetic terrorist group with forbidden blood war magic, that spies on folks, the Mystical Archieves in the Bibloplex that has EVERY spell in the multiverse (which leaves one to ask which multiverse D&D's or MtGs now ), Archiacs that are these giant Avatars (of what is unknown), with a magical eye that are thousand of years, exploring the plane with secrets from before the humanoid races walked the plane, the mystery of what two planes were destroyed to create the current one and what caused it?

Here read up on the plane and see of it gets your creative juices flowing.

Arcavios is a plane introduced in Strixhaven: School of Mages. The plane has two suns, called Karu and Ezza. Thousands of years ago, what were once two planes of existence merged bizarrely and uniquely. When the worlds merged, their essences overlapped, but they did not overlap perfectly. The...

I reread the Planeswalker's Guide to Strixhaven and James Wyatt was on the Strixhaven world building team after all. I still think Strixhaven's D&D conversion is Amanda's project as lead. I hope we find out more about the plane in general in this book.

MTG's 'Strixhaven' Setting Is Getting a D&D Sourcebook - IGN

www.ign.com

" Typically the UA material preceeds the announcement of the book it will be appearing in under something of a veil of secrecy, but Tito explained that the team felt it would make for better player feedback if the community knew how the material was being used. "Rather than attempt to obfuscate that or call it something else," he said, "we decided just to announce that Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos was coming, so that we can get all of that feedback with that context in mind."

Good they are finally learning that context is usually key to good and accurate feedback. As Captain Lorca says "Context is for Kings"

Well, that’s cool!
