D&D 5E WotC Announces New Critical Role Hardcover Adventure

Call of the Netherdeep will be out in March 2022. This adventure is set in Exandria and is for character levels 3-12. Interestingly, it also bears Critical Role branding at the top and bottom of the cover.

This is the third Critical Role D&D hardcover. The Tal'Dorei Campaign Guide came out in 2017, and the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount came out in 2020.

Darrington Press, CR's publishing arm, also announced the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn in July of this year with a release date of late 2021/early 2022.

An epic Critical Role campaign for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him.

Inspired by the campaigns of the hit series Critical Role, this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank’Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history.

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep contains seven chapters of thrilling adventure, new creatures and magic items, and a poster map of Ank’Harel.
  • First major adventure module within Critical Role’s world of Exandria, taking players from levels 3-12.
  • Multi-continental story that spans the scarred Wastes of Xhorhas, introduces the continent of Marquet, and eventually plunges players into the Netherdeep—a terrifying cross between the Far Realm and the deep ocean.
  • Bursting with lore and all new art depicting Exandria.
  • Includes new magic items and creatures and introduces new rival NPCs.

Hiya!

Interesting. I'll have to find out the "dungeon rooms to page count" ratio before I consider it. :)

And as an aside...

"Netherdeep" huh... hmmm... I guess it could be a "common term" in RPG's. I don't think "NetherDeep", by itself, is trademarked for Kenzer & Co, but I could be wrong. IIRC, Kenzer & Co's "Hackmaster 4th Edition" (the first one) was put out in 2001...and the entire system and book used the term "Netherdeep" in stead of saying "Underdark". I mean, Hackmasters adventure "D1-2: Decent Into the Netherdeep" was published in 2003 and does specifically call out "Decent Into the NetherDeep" as TM to them (K&Co).

Maybe they made a deal...or maybe WotC is going to step in it again and we'll see a "Hackmaster 6th Edition" based on a "If 5e was written by Gary Jackson and Jo Jo Zeke"! ;)

Ah. I got it. But isn’t that specifically not what the Curse of Strife is? The goblinkin aren’t inherently evil. They’re cursed by an evil god that deprives them of agency. They can be free of the curse.
That's exactly why it's problematic - because some real world groups have been described as being effectively cursed by god and beyond saving, excusing all sorts of atrocities against them.
