Dungeons & Dragons Worlds & Realms

“This incredible journey through the fantastical realms that inspired countless tables to roll dice together is both an educational and a visual treat! A wonderful collection that marries the history of the game with in-world stories and gorgeous art to present a unique and wondrous new way to engage, or re-engage, these worlds. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”—Matt Mercer“Worlds & Realms is a masterwork of in-universe storytelling and organic worldbuilding that narratively unifies the D&D multiverse for the first time in its history. It is for everyone who skips the stats and tables to devour the narrative details of the campaign setting and the legendary heroes who define them.”—Wil Wheaton“A love letter to the fantastical fabric of Dungeons & Dragons itself … beside each lush illustration, from well-known to nigh-forgotten, and beneath the florid prose of Mordenkainen himself is author Adam Lee … [whose] credentials with Wizards of the Coast speak for themselves, and he’s the true beating heart behind this book.”—GeekDad“D&D’s multiverse is extremely vast and complicated, and Worlds & Realms seems to fill a much-needed gap to help both newcomers and long-time players make sense of its fantastical realms… . But this is no dry, matter-of-fact history book. Instead, readers will explore these settings through the narration of the archmage Mordenkainen, who shares his personal experiences of these locations and thoughts on the legendary characters who’ve lived there.”—Polygon“Worlds & Realms will take us on a journey deep into the art, history, and tales of many of D&D’s most popular locations … in true Dungeons & Dragons fashion, we’ll receive an immersive experience as the legendary mage Mordenkainen guides us through the locations and weaves a brilliant story around us.”—Nerdist“Worlds & Realms is an incredible triumph for the D&D brand… . It’s impressive simply as an artbook but to an aspiring dungeon master, it could serve as inspiration for hundreds of exciting campaigns. For a D&D novice, this book will answer all the questions they didn’t even know they had.”—The Fandom Post
