The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

Tomb of Annihilation is in the Forgotten Realms set in the Lost Continent of Chult - Away from the Sword Coast (the hosts of the live stream are very interested with undead dinosaurs). Acererak is, as many predicted, the source of this plotline as the Archlich is more or less "eating" resurrection magic from the rest of the Forgotten Realms and causing a zombie apocalypse. Pendleton Ward from Adventure Time is a creative consultant on this adventure.

More updates will be coming through the Dungeons & Dragons marathon live stream live on Twitch throughout the weekend.

Phase 2 of D&D Beyond will be released this month.

D&D Beyond will have an "official" pronunciation guide (Monsters, Deities, and Races), voiced by Matt Mercer and Marisha Rey.

Edit: sorry, double post.

I'm quite looking forward to this.

Sounds pretty interesting and Chult is somewhere I know nothing about.

It states pretty clearly that not only can she not get to the material plane, but that she can't leave Hell. It's her prison.

That's consistent with the lore about the Nine Hells in general. No devil can leave the Hells on their own. They all must be summoned and so forth. I doubt even Asmodeus can leave of his own free will.

The line in RoT almost seems to be a retcon ...

Nah, it's pretty consistent with other stuff written about the changes made during the Sundering. If it was a retcon, it was just to bring it into line with everything else.

Ok, so Chult sounds cool and Dinosaurs sound cool but Undead Apocalypse? Errr, mmm.

Just a straight Indianna Jones vs Chult vs Acererak would have been cool enough for me.

I'm thinking less Zombie Apocalypse and more Cannibal Holocaust; except with a better reason for the natives to try and eat you than racist stereotypes.

Phase 2 of D&D Beyond will be released this month.

D&D Beyond will have an "official" pronunciation guide (Monsters, Deities, and Races), voiced by Matt Mercer and Marisha Rey.

Which would inspire more confidence if Mercer hadn't pronounced lemure as "lemur" for two sessions...

 

[Jawsh Murdock]

You are new, but you also sound like someone who is in the know. Are you part of the D&D team?

I'm a former AL Coordinator and current WotC playtester, but not an official D&D employee. I am working on writing some stuff for AL though.

 

[Jocanuck]

This sounds pretty cool. I don't get the drama over the forgotten realms setting, any DM worth his/her salt can convert to another setting.

cheers,
Jocanuck
