Dungeons & Dragons Unveils One of the Deadliest Adventure Storylines Ever Created

RENTON, Wash., June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This past weekend at the Stream of Annihilation broadcast on Twitch, Wizards of the Coast brought the D&D community together to announce Tomb of Annihilation, the new storyline for Dungeons & Dragons coming Fall 2017. Get a preview of just how deadly the adventure will be this summer on the D&D Twitch channel (www.twitch.tv/dnd). Eclectic and entertaining groups like Dice, Camera, Action; Misscliks; Maze Arcana; Girls, Guts, Glory; Yogcast's HighRollers; and Dragon Friends, a party of Australian improv comedians, will showcase story elements from Tomb of Annihilation on weekly shows starting in July!

Tomb of Annihilation kicks off with the discovery of a curse that's afflicting people who have been raised from the dead. Their bodies are slowly deteriorating – skin, hair, and flesh falling off their bones. Strong divinations point to the source of this curse in the jungle peninsula of Chult, a rich land filled with evil snake people, flying aarakocra and pterafolk, and the remains of a vast army of the undead. Adventurers tasked with stopping the curse must travel to settlements such as Port Nyanzaru to secure guides to lead them into the dense jungle. At the end of the journey, a horrifying villain awaits with a familiar visage. Will you survive?

Below is a list of all the Tomb of Annihilation products announced during the event. You can get more details on all of them by checking out www.twitch.tv/dnd and watching the video-on-demand interviews with the people who made them, as well as check out some of the story elements in action.
