[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8463579, member: 1"] It's that time in the D&D pre-release publicity phase where previews of the upcoming book start to appear across the web on various sites. It looks like each site is getting a different college to preview -- [URL='https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-strixhaven-pages-rules-locations-companions-romance/amp/']Screenrant has Prismari[/URL], and [URL='https://www.polygon.com/22790027/dungeons-dragons-strixhaven-magic-the-gathering-crossover-book-preview']Polygon has Silverquill[/URL], for example. There are 5 colleges in total, so if the other three (Lorehold, Witherbloom, and Quandrix) show up I'll post here. Be sure to click through to each site to see the full articles and all the previews. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/strixhaven-orientation.683893/[/URL] Strixhaven's release date was [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/strixhaven-release-date-updates.684049/']pushed back a month or so[/URL] from November 16th, presumably due to the global production and shipping issues, and should begin showing up in mid-December.
