Critical Role Tal'Dorei Reborn from Critical Role Is Out!

Darrington Press' reboot of Critical Role's Tal-Dorei D&D setting has been spotted in the wild, and on social media folks who worked on it are showing off pictures of their books.

The book is available from Critical Role's various online stores. The print version comes with a free PDF; however you cannot buy the PDF alone.

(Forgive the huge mess that this post is! That's what Twitter does to articles!)

There are no mechanics for the races in this book, which I find odd, specifically in regards to the new Mixed ancestries, which get vague rules about just combining features.

Inteeeeeeresting. So, for the Races in this book, you're stuck with their stat write ups in the official WoTC books and this kinda proves my guess that Elemental Ancestry and Half-Giant are basically the book's stand ins for Genasi and Goliath.

In regards to the Mixed Ancestries, you pretty much choose features. So an Elf-Dragonblood would pretty much, going by that, have/homebrewed to have Trance/Fey Ancestry and Breath Weapon. So the book is legit encouraging Homebrewing races basically.

Hmmm, shame it doesn't go further than that since it brings up such "rules" or ideas.

Everything being able to breed with everything else is just silly. D&D was already too full with half-creatures.

Let me let you in on a secret, most people think D&D and the hobby as a whole is silly.

Yep.

No. I meant you said 7.5 one way, but between 7 and 8 the other. If ever there was a distinction without a difference.

I can see how that could be confusing, but you see...

Er... Game.

Who knows? It could objectively be a 7.7.

Does IGN review D&D products?

Yep.

Not too full enough, I say. 3e had a literall gummy bear (half ooze bear) and by god I want to play that.

Not joking. Not sarcasm. I am a fan of awesome gonzo ideas that are just the right kind of stupid.

I am honestly so confused when people talk about their serious games where they get made at people for joking at the table out of character and how a scarred, ancient mercenary with the blood of dragons in his veins is too silly for their magic elf who throws out sparkly lights and slaps people with big glowy hands.
