Tomb of Annihilation: Ultimate Edition
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Venture into the deadliest jungle in all of Faerûn with a veteran DM who's been crafting unforgettable D&D experiences since 1996. This isn't just Tomb of Annihilation—it's a completely reimagined epic that transforms the original adventure into a sprawling narrative of ancient secrets, forgotten civilizations, and world-ending threats. **Key Expansions & Changes:** * Completely Reimagined Beginning: Start your adventure in Baldur's Gate, brave a treacherous sea voyage plagued by pirates, and survive a shipwreck before even setting foot in Chult * The Lifestone Mystery: Discover a mysterious new mineral with incredible necromantic potential that has drawn factions from across Faerûn to Chult's shores * Enhanced Port Nyanzaru: Experience extensive adventures, faction intrigue, and city exploration BEFORE the Death Curse even begins * Vastly Expanded Locations: Iconic sites, including Mezro, Camp Vengeance, Camp Righteous, Omu, the Fane of the Night Serpent, and Yellyark, have been greatly expanded with rich detail and meaningful encounters * Early Yuan-Ti Threat: Face serpentine dangers much earlier as their schemes unfold around Port Nyanzaru * Faction Warfare: Choose your allegiances wisely among the Merchant Princes, Melairkyn Clan, Harpers, Zhentarim, Order of the Gauntlet, Emerald Enclave, and Lord's Alliance * Base Building: Establish and develop your own outpost as you explore deeper into the jungle * Reworked Tomb: Experience a more coherent Tomb of the Nine Gods with challenging yet fair encounters replacing some of the original's arbitrary lethality * Beyond the Death Curse: After defeating the initial threat, embark on an epic plane-hopping adventure that reimagines the classic Return to the Tomb of Horrors, taking you far beyond the original campaign's scope
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
