Tomb of Annihilation: Beginnings...

ADD TO WISHLIST >

“Where the tenth is suckled, the nine rest. Seek the Soulmonger.

In the absence of the Spearbearer, an exile seeks to wake the nightmare snake.

The fool ignores the greater threat below. The living will reign no longer.”

 -- Kar'Chay the Bleak

Tomb of Annihilation: Beginnings...  provides an alternate beginning to the Tomb of Annihilation adventure.  First level characters have been hired to find Ian Swiftfoot, a Harper who is overdue for his meeting with Salyndra Silvane.  After the characters have retrieved Swiftfoot's letter, they are sent by Salyndra to Chult...and begin the Tomb of Annihilation.

Besides the introductory adventure, Beginnings... includes:

  • A player handout with the information from the lich that is hinted at in the set-up for Tomb of Annihilation.
  • A suggested start to explorations in Port Nyanzaru.
  • A player handout with exceprts from On the Arcane Archeology of Chult, the waterlogged travel journal that is described in Tomb of Annihilation as a gift from Wakanga O'Tamu, one of the merchant princes. The 12 excerpts hint at the dangers and wonders described in Chapter 2 of Tomb of Annihilation.
  • Four additional encounters inspired by African folklore and locations.
    • The Adze, a vampiric being that can possess humans.
    • A mineral rich lake with magical properties.
    • The Biloko, malevolant ancestor spirits that can lure the unwary to a gruesome death.
    • A field of standing stones hiding a magic mask that vomits swarms of insects.
  • The Maenad, a new playable race.

I believe there is an error in the Player Handout - Death Curse Letter (appendix II): it is addressed to Salyndra (instead of Syndra).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
