Thanks to the open game license, an unexpected name is about to release a Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook. DC Comics decided to dip into the pen and paper RPG realm with a book of rules covering the city of Cain Anuun.
The Last God: Tales from the Book of Ages is scheduled to drop on April 29. The 40-page one-shot 5th Edition supplement will set you back $4.99 and will make its appearance at local comic shop retailers, as well as digital storefronts.
DC Comics commented on the release, saying:
In Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Riccardo Federici’s The Last God, the city of Cain Anuun serves as a rich and layered backdrop to a story of fantasy, adventure and horror. The evil armies of the Last God are marching across the mythical city, laying waste to everything in its path and a group of unlikely allies are the last line of defense against absolute destruction.
DC isn’t the only company to unexpectedly get into tabletop RPGs lately, as fast-food giant Wendy’s released the free Feast Of Legends PDF back in October.
In addition to new primary and third-party book releases, D&D is set to make a major digital return with at least eight games currently in various stages of production.
Right now, the 4-player co-op hack ‘n slash Dark Alliance and long-awaited return to roleplaying roots Baldur’s Gate 3 are the next video games in the franchise slated for release.
