"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests." -H.P. Lovecraft.
One of my favorite settings was Saltmarsh. So many things that the creators in this video said resonate. In our real world there are terrifying things, and spacing them up with a little D&D flare & magic made this adventure I must buy for me. I don’t need any more hype videos I’m on board, and hesitant to go overboard because that thing with too many eyes might grab me.
So basically blending of the Far Realm, Shadow and Water Plane. Ok I got it sounds cool . Don't play 5e but will definitely pick it up and use some of the concepts for my 3.5/Pathfinder homebrew world.
Oh deep horror stuff is my absolute jam! For inspiration for a fellow DMs, imagine be in this dark space and then you hear the sound of something like a Crabsquid or worse from subnatica game for inspiration. and the sound like this creature is far away - but in reality its 40 feet and heading towards your exact location cause it has caught the ' scent ' of you.
I have a question for the community. can you use magic stone on a necklace of fireballs bead, and would that allow a spell sniper pc throw said bead twice as far?
I'm thinking of following up my LMoP campaign with CotN. Would that work? (I know CotN starts at level 3, but I figure that I can adapt it to level 5 easily enough.) Do you have any ideas on how to get my PCs to transfer to Matt's world?
If you want to keep torril and Exandria apart I'm sure you could set of some mystical event, in a 1 shot or something like that, that makes them traverse the multiverse, but the thing about being a DM is that you have the creative freedom to do what you want, you want parts of Exandria and Torril to be in the same world, sure no problem, Just say it's a different continent and have them sent over there for a mission, by boat or something else. I'm not certain how much map content is in the campaign so I'm not going to suggest saying that everything is on the same continent if that somehow clashes with provided maps from the module, but that is also an option.
@@eblausund Thanks. From what I’ve read, it sounds like CotN spans much of the world and there is also some different magic and gods. I guess I won’t know until they publish it. As you said, the obvious solution is to have them transfer to a new plane. I’ve got several months to think about it, though. Your ideas are appreciated.
Gonna wait on this one after being burned with poor DM support on previous releases. Here's to hoping they give us tools to use rather than "idk figure it out"

Matt looked at everyone with Thalassophobia and just laughed
The dungeon master laughing is inherently terrifying, though not normally for this reason
Yup, playing this adventure is gonna be a challenge alright.
Im legit instantly regretting preordering this book. I didn't realize this is where we were going with this adventure.
Some of those Netherdeep creatures look HORRIFYING. I love it.

Is there a video of just the whole thing? I can’t be the only one who would rather watch it at once and not in pieces like this.
I'm really looking forward to this book finally dropping.
So glad Critical Role is keeping the wind in D&D's sails. This will be the first book I bought since Wildemount.
Alight guys, enough is enough. RELEASE THE WHOLE INTERVIEW!
Gonna be so much fun can't wait to be able to add this to my bookcase of D&D
Would love to see a game or three with this crew and this adventure.
Once it's out of course.
Anyone with a 3d printer can make the minis for these monsters and I'm so jealous. I NEED to get a 3d printer!!!
Sounds like a similar to, but legally distinct, Call of Cthulhu rebrand.
I see Matt, I click
Uk'otoa (Uk'otoa)
This is the stuff I've waited years to have 😂 I'm so happy.
I'm so excited for this book that I have pre-ordered the hardcover and the digital version on DDB. >:3
Thanks.
Yes this is exactly what i was hoping for when it came to a Dungeons and Dragons water expansion
I'm afraid of the ocean, because I know what's in there.

Ever heard of Spelljammer? They've got sky ships in Exandria...just a short hop away from that to spelljamming vessels that can cross space!
The book is coming out on my birthday! :D
anyone know what guitar amp that is in the background (hard to tell.. also is it an amp?)
"D&Deep."
...I'll see myself out.
why is this coming out in parts:0
So it generates more clicks and likes.
It’s the farrealm by another name
In one side, I hate the "obligatory water level" on the other side, thoose monsters look groovy af.
Gonna wait on this one after being burned with poor DM support on previous releases. Here's to hoping they give us tools to use rather than "idk figure it out"
Many a toothy maw incoming!
As someone who's only phobia is water this book does not boad well for me
As someoone with Thalassophobia this is a great idea for an adventure but a big nope from me.
"Critical Role the game"
Somebody played Subnautica
Yeah sure use him like this but don't make him use the names of your creatures in his animated series
this is so interesting lol
