Путеводитель исследователя по Дикогорью или Explorer’s of Wildemount

Принёс некоторое количество монстров, предметов, и даже опций для персонажей, в общем то, что мы любим.

В этом обновлении всё это добавлено, а то что было уже добавлено до этого, теперь структурировано и внесено в #Справочник.

Кстати, если вы интересуетесь приключениями из Дикогорья…

То рекомендую посетить страничку Sigrlin, благодаря которой монстры и предметы из Дикогорья доступны в модуле, да, это она предоставила их, а на её страничке можно найти и парочку переведённых ею приключений.

Итак, немного скринов с комментариями.

Все новые монстры обитают как и прежде в компендиуме #Чудовища, но списком можно увидеть и перенести к себе можно и из журнальной записи.

Хотя предметы были добавлены очень давно, но теперь можно получить огромным списком.

Ну, и опции для персонажей были также добавлены некоторое время назад.

Оказывается полурослика Лотосденского не было раньше, добавил в этом обновлении, а также гоблина Дикогорья. Последний отличается от обычного лишь тем, что у него характеристика +1 к Выносливости (а не к Мудрости).

Также добавлена «раса» Пустотный. Не то чтобы это была полностью самостоятельная раса, однако достаточно интересное решение. Почитайте в описании.

Ещё был добавлен Морской эльф, он немного отличается от своего собрата из MPMM.

После обновления не забудьте удалить журнальную запись «🧙‍♂️⚔️ Cоздание персонажа», обновлённая версия появится при перезагрузке страницы.

Вот на этом и наверное всё, будут вопросы, пожелания и прочее, заходите в дискорд-сервер, хотя печенек там нет, но можно оставить отметку о найденном баге/опечатке или заказать что-нибудь на будущее в модуль.

Спасибо вам, мои дорогие подписчики за поддержку, и замечательные отзывы, они меня очень греют и ободряют! Вы самые лучшие❤️

Спасибо авторам сайтов:

Мы очень ценим ваш труд!

You know, D&D is such a huge part of my life, role-playing games are what made me today and so to have the opportunity to collaborate with Wizards and bring this world that kind of just came from here to an official guide like this and invite people to make what they want of it is incredible… and I think it’ll be awhile before it really sinks in. […] But it’s meant to be both for fans of Critical Role and for people who have never watched an episode. It’s an entirely new setting to set an entire campaign or more in.

”

Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is a sourcebook for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition set in Wildemount. The book was written by Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer, Chris Lockey, James Introcaso, and James Haeck alongside a team of designers. It was published by Wizards of the Coast on March 17, 2020.^[2]

It is the second Exandria campaign setting book, after Critical Role: Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting.

Publisher’s summary

A war brews on a continent that has withstood more than its fair share of conflict. The Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty are carving up the lands around them, and only the greatest heroes would dare stand between them. Somewhere in the far corners of this war-torn landscape are secrets that could end this conflict and usher in a new age of peace—or burn the world to a cinder.

Create a band of heroes and embark on a journey across the continent of Wildemount, the setting for Campaign 2 of the hit Dungeons & Dragons series Critical Role. Within this book, you’ll find new character options, a heroic chronicle to help you craft your character’s backstory, four different starting adventures, and everything a Dungeon Master needs to breathe life into a Wildemount-based D&D campaign…^[1]

Announced

304 pages of material that will help you create your own dynamic campaign set within Exandria’s mystery-laden continent of Wildemount.^[2]
Four starting adventures, set in four different regions of Wildemount, which are full of terrifying discoveries and dangerous secrets. These adventures have been designed to take your adventuring party from level one to three.^[2]
Three brand new subclasses: Echo knight, Chronurgist, and Graviturgist.^[2]
A guide to dunamancy magic, including new dunamantic spells!^[2]
23 brand new creatures for your heroes to encounter (if they’re lucky…or not, depending).^[2]
Descriptions for brand new magic items and Wildemount’s legendary Vestiges of Divergence.^[2]
A guide to the calamitous history of Wildemount.^[2]
An extensive breakdown of the Wildemount pantheon, featuring idols and demigods that exist outside of the pantheon.^[2]
A breakdown of the major and minor factions found in Wildemount and important figures within each faction.^[2]
A gazetteer replete with locations familiar to Critical Role fans (alongside curious locales only hinted at in bygone lore).^[2]

Preface

“

I invite you all to come to Wildemount. Wander the dangerous valleys of Western Wynandir, sail up and down the Menagerie Coast, brave the wastes of Xhorhas’s scarred lands, and explore the ancient secrets in the regions beyond these war-embroiled realms. Follow the paths of the Mighty Nein or blaze your own trail. This is your Wildemount now.

”

The preface contains a forward by Matthew Mercer, who describes his personal history with fantasy and make-believe and how it led to the development of Critical Role and, more importantly, Wildemount.

The Preface contains the following sections:

Chapter 1: Story of Wildemount

“

Born from nothing, there was something. Light, then thought, then life and fire. We who are born of the will of the gods keep these records to preserve their deeds, their design, and their lessons. We who live by our own will shall keep these records to know where we walk and where not to tread. We who look to our inevitable end keep these records to teach those who succeed our footsteps how to be better than we could.

Chapter 2: Factions and Societies

“

Queens, kings, emperors, nobles … beneath the rhetoric, it’s all the same. They say they fight to protect your families. They say they fight to enforce your beliefs, your honor. Fight for a better tomorrow. Fight for virtue, for prosperity. Bottom line, it’s all about fighting, and it’s you that dies fighting for their cause.

”

Chapter 4: Character Options

“

«What makes a hero?» I ask. Is it arms and a will to use them? Is it a certain heritage, a certain disposition? Is it a divine right to victory? I know this to be not true. I have killed many heroes on the battlefield, and I’ve respected every one. They have many different faces, and deserve remembrance. What makes a hero is their willingness to sacrifice for something they believe in. Anyone can be a hero, once they find something worth dying for.

“

Looking for gold, are ye? Well, I have a deck that needs a mighty good cleanin’. Gold can come easy, if ye look hard enough. Or is it glory ye’re really seekin’? Now that’s another drive entirely. That, I believe, I can help ye with.

Chapter 6: Wildemount Treasures

“

The difference between power and potential is a curious thing. Everyone seeks to gain power, to use it. Yet the more power you have, the more you use, the more others will try to take it from you. Potential, however, is power unknown, unused. Hidden. Secret until absolutely necessary. I peddle in potential, and I recommend you do too in these times of war.

Reception

Reviews

Reviewer, Publication	Verdict
J. R. Zambrano, Bell of Lost Souls	«All of that to say, if you’re interested in Wildemount, this book is definitely for you. This book adds a much deeper look into the world than we’re ever likely to see on the show. If that doesn’t sound appealing, this book probably isn’t for you–but there’s still interesting stuff in the new subclasses or the new spells or monsters. If you’re a fan of the show–the book feels more like D&D than Critical Role, for better or worse, but it really shines when they can lean into the things that make the show feel magical.»
Cream Teafling, Cream Teafling D&D 5E	«I’m relatively sure that, by now, you’ve deducted that this is a positive review. I expected this book to be good, but honestly I am extremely impressed. The amount of stuff you get for your money here is insane. Given how popular Critical Role is, we could have been given an average book and it would still have flown off the shelves, but this absolutely shows the level of diligence and attention to detail that Matt Mercer is famous for. While he didn’t put this together all on his own, his fingerprints are all over it, and not just when it comes down to him having created the setting. Even if you are not a Critical Role fan, even if you are adamantly predisposed towards not wanting to get this because you don’t like things that get hyped – I would advise you to put your reservations aside and pick up a copy. Even if you do it just for the final 144 pages of the book because Wildemount doesn’t interest you, you will find something in it that will spark your imagination. If this is the standard of sourcebooks to come then I am very excited for what the future holds.»
Kevin Coffey, Crit For Brains	«Still, there’s a lot to like here. Though your mileage may vary depending on your level of Critical Role fandom, the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is packed with a whole lot of D&D material. And that’s a good thing.»
Alex Meehan, Dicebreaker	«Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is a lot to digest, so I wouldn’t recommend it to Critical Role fans as the first D&D sourcebook they pick up. However, if you are a Critter with a bit of Dungeons & Dragons experience already under your belt, Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is, for all intents and purposes, the perfect sourcebook for creating and playing adventurers in Mercer’s world. Even if you aren’t a Critical Role fan, this is a remarkable D&D 5E sourcebook that should provide more than enough creative spark for your next big campaign.»
Sergio Solorzano, TheGamer Score: 4/5	«Critical Role has undoubtedly brought new players to D&D, and continues to do so. Critters will probably rush to pick up this book just to support the show. That raises a question, however, in just how many Critters are DMs. Because players might find the few options presented to not be worth $50. Instead, it’s the next generation of Mercers, or the DMs who want to walk their own path, that will find the most value in Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount. This is an inspiring act of creation, and will hopefully help birth more fantastic fan-created D&D worlds.»
Simon Yule, GeekDad	«Whatever your relationship with Critical Role, if you’re a Dungeons & Dragons fan and you’re looking for something new to add to your next campaign, or for inspiration for your next character, the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is a perfect addition to your D&D collection. If, like me, however, you’re a proud Critter, then the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is more than just that. It’s the perfect companion to your Thursday nights. It’s a font of joy and inspiration. It’s one of the few books where even the glossary is exciting. A must have for any fan of Critical Role.»
James Grebey, Syfy Wire	«Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, the latest official Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting, adds a lot to the world of D&D. Now you can officially play in the same world as the characters of Critical Role, the hit series in which professional voice actors weave a story by playing D&D live. The new book also adds new subclasses and a new school of magic, Dunamancy. And, perhaps most important, it adds some nuance to one of the most harmful tropes in D&D — and most of fantasy in general, for that matter.»
Charlie Hall, Polygon	«Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount formally brings the Critical Role universe into the pantheon of Dungeons & Dragons, and it’s filled with Easter eggs for fans of the «actual play» show. But, as a gameplay guide for regular players, it’s an incredible resource filled with tools that can be applied to any setting. Written with a warmth and care uncommon in these sorts of things, author Matthew Mercer’s 304-page campaign guide may be the best example of its type yet created for the role-playing game’s 5th edition.»
Andrew E., SkullSplitter Dice Score: 9.5/10	«Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is, without exaggeration, the single best 5e setting book Wizards of the Coast has ever released. This is mainly due to the quality of the mini-adventures, plentiful plot hooks around every corner, and accessibility to new players. Sadly, it has little to do with the setting itself, which is a very traditional high-fantasy world. A well-written world, but a rather basic one. If you’re looking for a new and interesting setting, this will just feel like Forgotten Realms 2.0. Regardless, a traditional fantasy world has a lot going for it, and newbies and veterans alike will find a wealth of fun here. Hardcore fans have likely bought the book already regardless of what reviews like mine say, but I’m very happy to report that the quality here goes far beyond hype and branding. Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is a triumph, and I hope all future settings follow its example.»
Strange Assembly, Strange Assembly	«The best part of the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount is the setting. Which is a pretty good start for a setting book. There’s an interesting mix of the known that provides a freshness without overwhelming players/DMs with a stack of entirely new mechanical elements. It lets the setting focus on how the players and their story will be affected by a different sort of governmental (and inter-governmental) system than what is usually present in a fantasy setting. I just had to get through the history and factions chapters to think that this was a cool place well worth exploring. The downside, then, is where we didn’t get as much of that as I would have liked. The inclusion of a variety of not-really-new ancestries that don’t seem important to the setting was puzzling to me, but ultimately that doesn’t take up a lot of space. What I did find disappointing was the adventures. Two (out of four) were good, but I had really wanted all of that page count to be a more involved adventure that would better explore the themes of the setting, not just give brief glimpses of some locations (or just one shorter adventure, with another 45 pages handed back to the setting section).»
Brandes Stoddard, Tribality	«For me, this is a very good book that, nonetheless, I’m unlikely to use directly. I’m not in a position in my life to seriously consider starting my own Exandria campaign. I’d allow the subclasses and spells in my game, though I’d have some heavy story work ahead of me to fit them into a non-Exandria setting. The magic items and monsters, at least, I’d probably lift directly. The same is true of Ravnica, the upcoming Theros, and other setting books.»

Adventurer’s League adaptation

When Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep is released in March 2022, both it and Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount will be adapted for D&D Adventurer’s League play.^[14]

Официальный арт из «Руководства для исследователей Дикогорья» (Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount). Автор арта — Karl Kerschl

В-третьих, Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount — результат официального сотрудничества между Wizards of the Coast и командой Critical Role, что означает легальное и весьма многообещающее добавление Эксандрии (Exandria) к мультивселенной D&D. «Руководство для исследователей Дикогорья» является не только третьей крупной кампание за последние полтора года, но и отличной демонстрацией успеха, делающего D&D популярней во всём мире.

Explorer's Guide to Wildemount был создан великолепным «Мастером подземелий» Мэтью Мерсером совместно с командой дизайнеров, включая других невероятных создателей контента: Криса Локки (Creature Codex, Deep Magic: Mythos Magic), Джеймса Интрокасо (Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Eberron: Rising from the Last War, Burn Bryte) и Джеймса Хэка (James Haeck, Waterdeep Campaign Setting, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus).

В 5-ом издании руководства по проведению кампаний обещают добавить множество артов, созданных мастерской рукой художников, вдохновляющихся Dungeon & Dragons, включая некоторых людей, участвующих в жизни сообщества Critical Role.

В частности, к созданию «Explorer's Guide to Wildemount» (Руководства для исследователей Дикогорья) приложили руку такие художники, как: Эвен Амундсен, Иона Бауманн, Марк Бем, Эрик Белисл, Дэн Биттенкур, Золтан Борос, Уэсли Берт, Клинт Серли, Джедд Шеврье, Чиппи, Давид Рене Кристенсен, «Парочка поваров» (CoupleOfKooks), Джома Куэто, Алайна Даннер, Кент Дэвис, Никки Доус, Аксель Дефуа, Ольга Дребас, Ларс Грант-Уэст, Джулиан Кок, Линда Литен, Джессика Махон, Эндрю Мар, Марсела Медейрос, Робсон Мишель, Джони Монтес, Ирина Нордсол, Стивен Оукли, Робин Олауссон, Клаудио Позас, Ливия Прима, Дженн Равенна, Ник Роблес, Кайо Э Сантос, Дэвид Сладек, Брайан Валеза, Анна Велткамп, Ричард Уиттерс, Шон Вуд, Зузанна Узык (Zuzanna Wuzyk) и Анна Зи.

В Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount также представлены карты экстраординарного картографа Девена Рю (Deven Rue). Некоторые из артов по «Руководству для исследователей Дикогорья» вы сможете посмотреть в конце статьи.

Так как я уверен, что мог напортачить с именами художников, публикую их в оригинале:

Even Amundsen, Jonah Baumann, Mark Behm, Eric Belisle, Dan Bittencourt, Zoltan Boros, Wesley Burt, Clint Cearley, Jedd Chevrier, Chippy, David René Christensen, CoupleOfKooks, Joma Cueto, Alayna Danner, Kent Davis, Nikki Dawes, Axel Defois, Olga Drebas, Lars Grant-West, Julian Kok, Linda Lithen, Jessica Mahon, Andrew Mar, Marcela Medeiros, Robson Michel, Goñi Montes, Irina Nordsol, Stephen Oakley, Robin Olausson, Claudio Pozas, Livia Prima, Jenn Ravenna, Nick Robles, Caio E Santos, David Sladek, Brian Valeza, Anna Veltkamp, Richard Whitters, Shawn Wood, Zuzanna Wuzyk, Anna Zee.

Что входит в 5 издания по Dungeon & Dragons (Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount)? Список:

304 страницы материала, который поможет вам создать вашу собственную динамичную кампанию на таинственном континенте Wildemount («Дикогорье») в Эксандрии;
Четыре стартовых приключения, которые разворачиваются в четырех разных регионах Wildemount, полных страшных открытий и опасных секретов. Эти приключения рассчитаны на 1 -3 уровень;
Три совершенно новых подкласса: эхо рыцарь, хронолог и гравитургист (Echo Knight, Chronurgist, and Graviturgist);
Путеводитель по дунамансийной магии (dunamancy magic), включая новые дунамантические заклинания;
23 совершенно новых существа для ваших героев (если им повезет… или не повезёт, в зависимости от обстоятельств);
Описания совершенно новых волшебных предметов и легендарных последствий дивергенции из Дикогорья (Wildemount’s legendary Vestiges of Divergence);
Путеводитель по катастрофической истории Wildemount;
Обширный раздел с пантеоном континента Wildemount, включая идолов и богов, существующих вне основного пантеона Дикогорья;
Раздел с основными и второстепенными фракциями Дикогорья, обнаруженными на континенте Wildemount, включая наиболее значимых персонажей из каждой фракции.

Поклонникам Critical Role и Dungeon & Dragons в частности, наверняка будут известны многие персонажи и даже места, фигурирующие в прошлых изданиях. Тем не менее новой и уникальной информации, в том числе и визуального оформления, в Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount будет чертовски много!

Важное примечание: сюжетная компания в «Руководстве для исследователей Дикогорья» сосредоточена вокруг конфликта между Двендалянской Империей (Dwendalian Empire) и Династией Крин (Kryn Dynasty), поэтому в 5-ом издании приведены подробные описания конфликта и обеих противоборствующих сторон. Это позволит игрокам оценить, какое влияние это окажет на их стратегию и проведения кампаний. Возможно, это позволит оценить ДнД по-новому, создав нечто волшебное, забавное или же угрожающе-опасное, и погрузиться с головой в невероятный мир «Подземелий и драконов»!

Как и всегда, стиль игры будет зависеть от самого игрока или мастера игры (в зависимости от того, пытаетесь ли вы либо ГМ внести хоть какие-то ограничения в кампанию ДнД); так что будет это легендарный эпос, зловещая история или нечто наивное либо очень смешное, - решать исключительно вам!

Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide

Руководство приключенца по Побережью Мечей, SCAG (2015)

Первое «расширение» библиотеки пятой редакции включает в себя описание «центральной части» Забытых Королевств, населяющих их рас и их религий. Классы получили описание «мирских» организаций, из которых могут выходить приключенцы — такие, как ордена паладинов или монахов — а предыстории пополнились двенадцатью новыми, включая «представителя фракции», дающего возможность членства в одной из фракций Побережья. Самые крупные из фракций: Орден Перчатки, Изумрудный Анклав, Арфисты, Жентарим — конечно, тоже были описаны.

Volo’s guide to monsters

Справочник Воло по Монстрам, VGM (2016)

Как и обещает название, в этой книге Волотамп Геддарм, или попросту Воло, собрал описания более сотни существ и целых культур, таких, как юань-ти, кобольды, орки, гиганты и другие. Более того, некоторые расы и цивилизации, как выяснилось, тоже способны рождать приключенцев, несмотря на то, что эти существа могли считаться безразличными к делам Забытых Королевств — или даже откровенно к ним враждебными;

Справочник добавляет играбельные расы аасимаров, фирболгов, голиафов, кенку, людоящеров, табакси, тритонов, багбиров, гоблинов, хобгоблинов, кобольдов, орков и чистокровных юань-ти.

Руководство Занатара обо всём, XGE (2017)

Вторая половина книги посвящена проработке мира в руках Мастера: прописаны многие механические моменты, такие как падение, сон, завязывание узлов; получили значительное развитие ремесленные инструменты, ловушки, деятельность простоя.
