( Campaign Setting is set just one year after Campaign One, but is still full of spoilers.) If you or your players are still navigating those stories for the first time, you may wish to steer clear of this sourcebook - but if everyone has seen Campaign One, we recommend buying Tal’dorei Reborn rather than finding a copy of the older book. That said, Tal’dorei Reborn is set more than 20 years after the events of Campaign One and the animated series, and therefore contains spoilers for the adventures of Vox Machina. Structurally it’s very similar to any other 3rd-party 5E sourcebook, providing new character options, a gazetteer of the land of Tal’dorei, NPCs and organizations your players can encounter, as well as the standard new magic items and monsters suitable for any campaign. While Tal’dorei Reborn is not an official D&D sourcebook, it is published under the 5th Edition Open Source License and therefore can be easily inserted into any 5E campaign. Tal’dorei Reborn was published early in 2022 by Critical Role’s own imprint Darrington Press, and it’s a revision and expansion of the Campaign Setting, adding more than 100 pages to the original. The former was published by Green Ronin Publishing in 2017 under a limited publishing license that has since expired and therefore is out of print - hence the ridiculous prices you’ll see for it online. ![]() It also spawned two campaign books: Tal’dorei Campaign Setting and Tal’dorei Reborn. Here the members of Vox Machina made a name for themselves and helped spawn a franchise still going strong three campaigns and seven years later. The first campaign - as well as the first season of Legend of Vox Machina - takes place in the nation of Tal’dorei, on the continent of the same name. Tal’dorei Reborn explores the world of Vox Machina So which Critical Role books does an aspiring DM really need? Let’s take a look at the campaign books that will help you follow in Critical Role’s footsteps. And this is especially true when one looks at online resellers and sees Critical Role: Tal’dorei Campaign Setting selling for hundreds of dollars. Tal’dorei Reborn was released earlier this year by Darrington Press and The Explorer’s Guide to Wildmount was released in 2020 by Wizards of the Coast, so there’s a lot of confusion about which sourcebooks a DM looking to run a campaign in the world of Critical Role would need. This wasn’t the first official sourcebook for Exandria however. Last week also saw the release of Call of the Netherdeep, the first official D&D adventure set in Exandria, the world of Critical Role created by DM Matt Mercer. Critical Role, the popular Dungeons & Dragons campaign stream starring “a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors,” celebrated its seventh anniversary last week, just one month after the successful conclusion of the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina, an animated retelling of part of the first campaign. ![]()
