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?
