Dungeons & Dragons Worlds & Realms Sounds Like A Must-Read Book For D&D Players

Dungeons & Dragons fans have a new, multiverse-spanning adventure to read. Worlds & Realms: Adventures from Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond book released today, October 29. The hardcover volume was written to celebrate the classic tabletop roleplaying game’s 50th anniversary and will read like a narrative-driven art book, taking readers on an illustrated tour of the many realms in the D&D franchise through the eyes of various adventuring parties. Amazon is offering a nice launch discount that drops the price of the new D&D book to $35 (list price is $50).

According to the book’s description, Worlds & Realms: Adventures from Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond features many of the lands seen in all five editions of Dungeons & Dragons and its expansions across its 368 pages. Each chapter offers history and lore tidbits about the featured realm–however, instead of reading like a traditional D&D sourcebook, these insights are delivered by the mage Mordenkainen, giving readers an in-universe “mage’s-eye view of [each realm’s] unique features, creatures, and characters.”

Along with the mage’s musings, you’ll find short stories set in these various realms written by award-winning D&D writers like Jaleigh Johnson, Jody Houser, Eric Campbell, Jasmine Bhullar, and Geoffrey Golden. The book’s lore dumps and short stories are accompanied by artwork from every edition of D&D, including all-new original illustrations that open each chapter.

If you’re a D&D fan, chances are you’re also into Baldur’s Gate 3, which is set in the Sword Coast region of the D&D realm Faerun. Soon, you’ll be able to add the characters from the acclaimed CRPG into your tabletop sessions with the official D&D minis of Baldur’s Gate 3 party members and enemies. The minis launch early next year and are available to preorder now.
