5th edition D&D has been undergoing many changes lately to account for more inclusivity and variety, with possibly a brand new Dungeons & Dragons 5.5 edition on the way as well. Players will go island hopping through the ice-cold Serpent Sea, and who knows what they might encounter. The Kickstarter campaign page shows glimpses of new monsters, a glorious world map, and new player options that will be available through this new book. Brent Knowles, the designer behind games like Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age: Origins, takes the helm as the writer of this new story where players will come “ face-to-face with colossal creatures, long-lost gods, and the world-devouring Jötunn.” The Kickstarter campaign still has 30 days left to go, and already it is nearly half funded. While this is not officially published by Wizards of the Coast, the talent behind this new adventure is worthy of note. The Kickstarter campaign for Arcanum Worlds Canada's Raiders of the Serpent Sea launched today.

It is even very likely that a classic Dungeons & Dragons setting, Spelljammer, which brings fantasy to outer space, will soon be making a return to 5th edition. While it might seem like there are a ton of official D&D 5E books available, there are still a lot of settings and tones left to be desired, such as that of a Norse seafaring adventure.Ĭurrent 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons has numerous published settings, from the classic Faerun, where the city of Baldur’s Gate can be found, to Eberron, the pulpy, steampunk fantasy world full of Warforged and Changelings. This has not only been great for the hobby as a whole, but also for small independent creators as well.

Tabletop RPGs, and more specifically D&D, have been significantly growing in popularity over the last few years.

Raiders of the Serpent Sea is a brand new Viking-style Norse adventure for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons on Kickstarter now.
