Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

Wizards of the Coast has released their new sci-fi TTRPG Exodus, which ties into the upcoming video game of the same name. This week, Wizards posted the Traveler's Handbook and the Exodus Encyclopedia for sale on their Exodus webpage. The new RPG was designed by James Ohlen, the lead developer of the Exodus video game as well as past hits like Baldur's Gate 2 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Based on a free-to-download character sheet and a description of the TTRPG, it appears that the Exodus TTRPG uses the 5E game system, but with updates to make the game sci-fi themed. The Traveler's Handbook comes with four Exodus-themed classes, with two subclasses as well as various weapons and six powerful "Traveler Dynasties" that appear to be in-game factions. Meanwhile, the Exodus Enclyclopedia includes stat blocks for various constructs, Celestials, and human NPCS, as well as new items.

The Exodus video game is set to be released in 2026 and is intended to be a AAA video game available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

I wish the Exodus web page included a little bit more about the game world and the setting. I'm unfamiliar with the game or the setting, but I'm, like, kinda interesting in seeing more? But then the page opens and all I really see is a few pictures and an "ADD TO CART" button.

Why would I buy something based on so little information? Gimme something!!!

So I can just take the NPCs and run them in my 5e game? I'm always hungry for more aliens and robots for my science fantasy game.

It's nice that they are offering those who bought the "early release" version of the Traveler's Handbook, a discount on the Encyclopedia (you can now get them in a a bundle). A shame that there doesn't seem to be any electronic version.

There's tons of info on the video game's main page: EXODUS. They also have a bunch of YouTube videos previewing the setting.

I got the Founders Edition in March of the TTRPG. It's D&D in space, with alternate magic-free classes. Core book caps at a lower power level of 10. There's lots of customizable equipment. Writing, art, layout is great. Game mechanics are varied.

Yes. The stat blocks are all 5e-compatible.

Is Mongoose going to sue them?

I mean I am curious. But also curious if Mongoose is going to sue them.

From the tagline, I thought this was something Biblical.
