At the end of the journey, a horrifying villain awaits with a familiar visage. Adventurers tasked with stopping the curse must travel to settlements such as Port Nyanzaru to secure guides to lead them into the dense jungle. Strong divinations point to the source of this curse in the jungle peninsula of Chult, a rich land filled with evil snake people, flying aarakocra and pterafolk, and the remains of a vast army of the undead.

Their bodies are slowly deteriorating – skin, hair, and flesh falling off their bones. Tomb of Annihilation kicks off with the discovery of a curse that’s afflicting people who have been raised from the dead.

A series of live-streams starting in July will keep the hype building throughout the summer, while continuing to bust the boundaries of the traditional medieval fantasy roleplaying game. Like an unstoppable army of the undead, the next big wave of Dungeons & Dragons products is coming - but it will be cloaked in the steam of the jungle rather than all that “winter is coming” stuff on TV.Īnnounced last week in a celebrity live-stream broadcast on Twitch, Tomb of Annihilation, the new adventure storyline coming this fall, will span all current versions of the D&D fantasy gaming brand, from tabletop RPG and tactical boardgame to miniatures and electronic gaming.
