Wizards of the CoastĪnother cool thing for D&D players will be found in Set Boosters. Some art cards in Set boosters will include stat blocks on the back for Dungeons & Dragons players. The set is focused specifically on the setting of the Forgotten Realms, rather than the wider D&D universes, and securing the rights to characters from the likes of Critical Role was said to be unfeasible. The set is discrete from the ongoing MTG continuity, with no characters from it appearing in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, and no plans for characters from the Forgotten Realms to join the wider Magic multiverse any time soon.Īnother thing that will not be referenced in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms are any Actual Play series, such as Critical Role. Speaking of Planeswalkers, Wizards was also clear on that a character having a Planeswalker card (of which there are five, one being Ellywick and another Lolth) does not mean they are a Planeswalker in terms of Magic's story. For instance, Ellywick Tumblestrum is a green Planeswalker who leans heavily into D&D's Bard archetype. This means that, while the likes of Drizzt Do'Urden appear, there are also some brand new, original characters that are representative of what the Forgotten Realms is about. Instead, its goal is to put across the themes, characters and atmosphere of the world.Įllywick Tumblestrum, an original character for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Wizards of the Coast One thing Wizards of the Coast were very clear on is that Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is not meant to be set at a specific point in time or show specific events from its long history. While MTG players will care about Venturing and Dragon tribal matters, D&D players will care far more about the world being depicted, and what elements of their favorite game have made their way over to MTG. Wizards didn’t elaborate on this, and certainly didn’t show any cards with it included, but Mark Rosewater later teased that "something only seen previously in Un-sets comes to black border", more than likely talking about dice. Dice rolling has been considered for sets in the past, however it has only been a real thing in the Un-parody sets, like Unstable and Unsanctioned, which are often used as test-beds for mechanics before they're introduced to the main game itself. One mechanic that was mentioned in passing during the presentation, and not expanded on at all, was dice rolling. Was Pippa, Duchess of Dice from Unsanctioned a precursor to Forgotten Realms?
