Dungeons and Dragons has unexpectedly merged with Magic: The Gathering in an exciting way with the release of Monstrous Compendium Volume 4: Eldraine Creatures. This compact guidebook adds a multitude of fantastical creatures from Magic: The Gathering's captivating realm to the world of Dungeons and Dragons. The Monstrous Compendiums serve as valuable resources for players, providing monster attributes that can be incorporated into their storytelling adventures across various realms. These resources often collaborate with other popular Wizards of the Coast releases, including Spelljammer: Adventures in Space, Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, and the Dungeons and Dragons DLC for Minecraft.
Dungeons and Dragons has recently launched the fourth installment of the Monstrous Compendium series. This collection presents 25 distinct stat blocks that draw inspiration from the inhabitants of Eldraine, a mystical realm featured in various Magic: The Gathering sets. Unlike its predecessors, Volume 4 is not available for free and can be obtained by purchasing the digital sourcebook from D&D Beyond for $6.
In the Monstrous Compendium Volume 4, dungeon masters can discover a wide variety of creatures, encompassing almost every type imaginable. However, many of these beings belong to the Fey category, aligning perfectly with the fairy-tale ambiance of Eldraine. Ranging from the humble CR ½ Gingerbrute and Faerie Borrower to the enigmatic CR 15 Archon of Boundaries or the behemoth CR 18 Beanstalk Wurm, these formidable monsters offer fitting challenges for Dungeons and Dragons parties of all levels.
Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts were recently given the opportunity to revisit the enchanting storybook setting in the card game. The second set, Wilds of Eldraine, which takes place in this realm, was released on September 7, 2023. Adding to the excitement, Magic: The Gathering is set to collaborate with popular franchises such as Final Fantasy, Fallout, and Assassin's Creed in the near future, implying that there will be a continuous wave of these crossovers.
Moving on to Dungeons and Dragons, the much-anticipated collaborative DLC with Minecraft officially launched on September 26. Players can now explore various locations across the Sword Coast and engage in battles against monsters that fans of Baldur's Gate 3 or Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves might find familiar. Furthermore, Dungeons and Dragons recently introduced the Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk campaign and has plans for the upcoming releases of Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse and the Book of Many Things by the end of the year.
