Darrington Press, the publishing arm of Critical Role, has just revealed that their Tal’Dorei Reborn sourcebook is making its way to the Alchemy Virtual Tabletop. Originally crafted by Green Ronin in 2017 and then rejuvenated in 2022, this Dungeons & Dragons 5e guide takes players back to Exandria, the land that served as the setting for Critical Role’s first grand campaign. Set years after the escapades of Vox Machina, this digital version of Tal’Dorei Reborn promises to deliver an immersive experience, leveraging Alchemy’s reputation for providing top-notch audio-visual elements, such as detailed maps and captivating music.
In delving into Tal’Dorei, players will uncover the rich tapestry of its history, exploring its deities, factions, creatures, and notable figures who populate the continent. The guide also includes detailed stats and lore for the legendary Vox Machina. Each significant region of Tal’Dorei is covered, offering intriguing narrative threads for players—whether they want to retrace the steps of their beloved characters or carve out their own unique stories. Additionally, the book introduces new subclasses, backgrounds, and magical items to enhance dungeon masters’ campaigns. This latest announcement marks the fourth VTT conversion for Tal’Dorei Reborn, which is also available on platforms like Roll20, D&D Beyond, and Demiplane.
While Critical Role has earned a reputation for its intricate battle maps, Alchemy shines when it comes to theater-of-the-mind experiences. Instead of using the typical tactical combat grids seen on platforms like D&D Beyond, Alchemy brings the game to life with unique motion overlays, scenic visuals, and ambient soundscapes. Though Alchemy may be a fresher face in the VTT landscape compared to the likes of Roll20, it has quickly become a preferred collaborator for a slew of indie D&D and non-Hasbro tabletop publishers, including names like Free League, Modiphius, and Hit Point Press. You’ll also find offerings from international publishers like the award-winning Two Little Mice from Italy and versatile assets from Czepeku, a favorite on Patreon.
Fans, affectionately known as “Critters,” can scoop up the Tal’Dorei Reborn campaign setting for just $29.99, or spring for the Tal’Dorei Reborn Enhanced Edition at $39.99.
