Jigow | Call of the Netherdeep | Matthew Mercer | Critical Role | D&D

Todd Kenreck sat down with Matthew Mercer to talk about the upcoming book "Call of the Netherdeep."

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep
Can You Change Fate?
An epic Critical Role campaign for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him.

Inspired by the campaigns of the hit series Critical Role, this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank’Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history.

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep contains seven chapters of thrilling adventure, new creatures and magic items, and a poster map of Ank’Harel.

First major adventure module within Critical Role’s world of Exandria, taking players from levels 3-12.
Multi-continental story that spans the scarred Wastes of Xhorhas, introduces the continent of Marquet, and eventually plunges players into the Netherdeep—a terrifying cross between the Far Realm and the deep ocean.
Bursting with lore and all new art depicting Exandria.
Includes new magic items and creatures and introduces new rival NPCs.

I feel like I’m part of some kind of secret society for having watched this

[chrisbennett]

Love the monster races just being normal people basically. Reminds me of the witcher where just because it's a monster doesn't mean it's evil

[nexisd]

Sounds like Singapore. Multi raced, different ancestry, fishing village (used to be), competitive, people who love

[David_Blake]

Guess since this Adventure starts in LVL3, I will do the Jigow-adventure from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount as the LVL1 Prologue for this.

[oldmanknok]

Why am i here? It feels like I fell through a whole, into a forbidden dimension.

[ReadingDave]

Sounds fun. I always wanted to play a charector who loved the competitive honing of Kord. Something that the priest of Kord that Grog talked to would be proud of.

[KnicKnac]

Opening a game with a festival is fun and great way to get players used to rolling for skill or ability checks.

[trollishmc]

Really digging the artwork. More please!

[CharlesKhan]

Anyone else walking around like Beavis saying JIGOW over and over?

[cambionblack]

Looking at the ‘2 views’ in a day and wondering if the web team didn’t make this vid fully public. 👀

[Synetik]

Am I not supposed to be able to see this? One of the recent videos link here with the recommended videos at the end.

[michaelbryant]

I played a Curse of Strahd game where all of the PCs were from Xhorhas, including an orc paladin from Jigow.

[ThomasBaxter]

I'm willing to bet this being unlisted is a metrics trap.

[PuffPastry-kecm]

I'm so excited to be starting a campaign in this setting. I haven't watched much Critical Roll, so I'll be going in basically blind. I absolutely adore the setting, as I have a heart for monstrous characters. My current character is actually half kraken, which could be interesting later on given that there's Deep in the adventure title.

[tomisabum]

Points of trade and friendly/not so friendly but encouraged competition are always a great way to get a great slice of the world while still being in an organized word. Get out of the tavern and play!

[Vespuchian]

The art also seems to imply a predominance of pies in Jigow... this is fuel for comedy.

[jonah]

Games of chance and competition? Sounds like Divination wizards and Clockwork Soul sorcerers are going to be pretty common

[HeyThisIsBrian]

I'm down for Witchlight Carnival 2.0

[rckrdd]

Definitely playing a tortle moon domain cleric 🤣 just to give it a shot. Just built the character. Campaign starts in 2 weeks.

[barantui]

Please just release the full interviews! These small, disjointed ones are not fun trying to get the full picture from.
