James Wyatt Discusses Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica on Magic Twitch

[Parmandur]

So, James Wyatt was on the M:tG Twitch show discussing the new book, including information such as bee races and such:

"While Wyatt and the hosts of Weekly MTG built a character from the Boros Guild, Wyatt also revealed at least two new playable races in the guide: minotaurs and the Viashino, a group of reptilian creatures similar to lizard-folk. Minotaurs were recently playtested in a recent Unearthed Arcana supplement, so it looks like we'll be getting an "official" version of the race soon.

"Other pieces of concept art showed what appeared to be loxodon (anthropomorphic elephants) and vedalken, a race of blue-skinned humanoids. Whether these races will be playable or just in the book to add some flavor is still unclear."

vedalken we're already started out in a planeshidt article, so I'd be shocked if they aren't in.

Okay, you've listed minotaurs and reptilians, John Merrick* and the Blue Man Group, but what about these bees you mention - are they like the Antman's friend, or more Seinfeldish?





*The elephant man, if you don't get the reference

Here is the YouTube version of what Wyatt said.

Interesting things to not, suggested races for Boros, Human, Viashino, Minotaur, and Goblin (did not expect that race).

They are going both Orhov Angels and Boros Angels, both Dimir and Orhov Vampires (Vampire and Angels in the same guild, that is usually only something that would happen in a Chronicles of Darkness game hehehe), Golgori Gorgons. Some NPCs. Some "Legendary" creatures. I hope they will explain how to use these beings in a regular D&D campaign, like how do these three different races of Angels, Aasimon (traditional D&D angels), Boros Angels, and Orhov (sorry for misspelling that, too lazy to look it up) get along. I assume both new races of angels are celestial, but maybe they aren't.

I wonder if they will just reuse the goblin stats from VGTM or make new ones.
