Win a Copy of Worlds & Realms, A Celebration of 50 Years of D&D!
It’s hard to believe we’ve hit the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, that icon of fantasy so many hold dear to their social lives. And to celebrate this half-century of mages and adventure, the BFS has teamed up with Penguin Random House for a very special competition – the opportunity to win a copy of the new book Worlds & Realms: Adventures from Greyhawk to Faerûn and Beyond by Adam Lee.
Featuring more than 300 full-colour illustrations (some of which you can see below), Worlds & Realms is an immersive exploration of 50 years of D&D through the art and lore of the worlds, planes and settings that have captivated players throughout these five decades of adventures and campaign storytelling. Each chapter of this sumptuously illustrated guide focuses on an iconic world or setting in the D&D multiverse, narrated by legendary mage Mordenkainen and filled with official artwork curated from fifty years of source books and adventures.
Mordenkainen muses on each location’s unique features, unmistakable characters, and magical mysteries based on his experiences travelling across the planes. Written by Adam Lee, worldbuilding expert and former D&D game designer, this lavish tome also features original cover and chapter opener illustrations. Daily life in each world is creatively explored through exclusive stories penned by Jasmine Bhullar, Geoffrey Golden, Jody Houser and Eric Campbell, and Jaleigh Johnson.
From the more familiar worlds of the Material Plane to the strange and intriguing Parallel Planes, and the truly mind-bending worlds and planes beyond, both longstanding and recent D&D fans will gain new perspectives on the most beloved and memorable places in the game.
If you can’t wait to get your hands on this one, you can pre-order it from here. But if you’d like to roll the dice and perhaps win a copy, here’s the details:
We have one copy to give away to a UK resident, with the winner’s name pulled at random. Just head to this form and tell us your name, town you live in, and your contact details. The competition will run from today, 25 October, for two weeks; the winner will be drawn at random and contacted by email w/c 11 November.
