I was wondering what a World of Warcraft x D&D TTRPG crossover was going to look like, and it did not disappoint.

Its pre-made adventure module is modeled after Wrath of the Lich King, one of my favorite World of Warcraft expansions. Plus, every class and race from World of Warcraft has been ported to D&D’s 5th Edition tabletop system, which opens up all kinds of cool party synergy combinations if you combine them with the traditional classes of Dungeons & Dragons.

Most importantly, however, this module will allow us to craft our own stories and adventures within the World of Warcraft universe. So if you’re sick and tired of seeing the Horde being pushed to the side, or you miss the “WAR” in World of Warcraft and want the Alliance and Horde killing each other again, now you can, since it looks like actual World of Warcraft has moved on forever from faction wars between players.

As for me, I’ll be busy pre-ordering it so I can get my hands on the limited edition Murloc miniature because A) It looks awesomely adorable, and B) I want to take it apart and combine its parts with my Warhammer 40,000 miniatures to make a hilarious Murloc Space Marine figure.
