Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArwensDaughter" data-source="post: 7892089" data-attributes="member: 6804968">There are 3 videos from D&D Beyond about the Wildemount released on youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23ExplorersGuideToWildemount" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23ExplorersGuideToWildemount</a>A few things that caught my attention:-there will be three Dunamancy subclasses (dunamancy is a new type--but not school--of magic, that plays a part in Matt's world of Exandria)-about half of the art is by artists who are part of the critter community.  CR actively promotes fan art:  the beginning of every stream is a "slideshow" of fan art related to the series.  Matt lobbied for WOTC to use some of those artists for the book: to the point of giving Wizards a list of artists to pick from.  -the four adventures are starter adventures set in four different parts of Wildemount (which I think had been implied/assumed before, but Matt confirms it.-Part of Matt's goal is to provide a setting that CR fans are familiar and comfortable with, to lower the "intimidation factor" (my phrase--not his) of starting to play, especially for the DM.-Matt also hopes long time players will find things they can use in their own games-Nothing Matt said in any of the 3 videos I watched said anything about porting over material from the Taldorei guide.  When he talked about the Divergences, for example, he talked about "new" divergences tied specifically to Wildemount.  Nor did he say anything about the Blood Hunter or the Cobalt Soul.</blockquote>
