Wildemount’s single-continent focus + current geopolitical tension gives you instant stakes and structure. You can drop in a new group and be playing “something that matters” by session one. If you want a ready-to-run campaign frame with strong factions and on-ramps for characters, start here. It’s narrow by design...and that’s a strength. Tal’Dorei Reborn gives you a wider canvas and more player options which is great if you enjoy building your own arcs, but it asks a bit more of the GM up front.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“I want a campaign tonight.” = Wildemount (starter adventures + Heroic Chronicle). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“I want a rich sandbox with leveling artifacts and lots of options.” = Tal’Dorei Reborn.</li> </ul></blockquote>
