A crossover between Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft has leaked

This 12 months’s Gen Con occasion is one Wizards of the Coast has stated it is “pulling out all of the stops for”, with a keynote to be hosted by Theo Solomon (who performed Wyll in Baldur’s Gate 3) together with a bunch of bulletins about what’s arising for Dungeons & Dragons. One launch appears to have been leaked early: a crossover with World of Warcraft.

In line with a information submit on digital tabletop Roll20 that has since been eliminated (yow will discover it on RPG website EN World), we will count on Warcraft to get a minimum of a setting ebook for D&D fifth version, as a few Magic: The Gathering worlds have beforehand.

This would not be the primary collaboration between Blizzard and D&D. Across the time of Diablo 2 there have been a number of official books by Wizards of the Coast adapting the world of Sanctuary to D&D’s guidelines. Later there was a World of Warcraft RPG utilizing D&D’s third version, although that was revealed beneath the phrases of the Open Gaming Licence by White Wolf, the writer accountable for Vampire: The Masquerade (which additionally has a D&D crossover within the works).

I can see why die-hard WoW followers would possibly take pleasure in having a model of D&D with guidelines for taking part in a tauren or no matter, however Warcraft has all the time been so near D&D I am undecided I want a complete rulebook explaining its barely completely different model of elves and whatnot. At the very least Diablo’s heavy metallic vibes made for a different-feeling sort of fantasy, however Warcraft is as generic as they arrive.

Gen Con runs from July 30 to August 2, and I am positive it will embody some bulletins extra fascinating than this. Perhaps this would be the 12 months they lastly pull the set off on bringing again Darkish Solar or Birthright, and even give us an Al-Qadim ebook?
