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.

Is Mongoose going to sue them?

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

Here's hoping. It's clearly trying to tap that same crowd and even using similar verbiage. Be an international lawsuit though, so expensive. FFE could also sue and be in the same country.

Mostly, whatever this Exodus ends up being, maybe it will shine more light on the excellent Traveller RPG that has almost as much history behind it as D&D.
