New D&D book 'Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel' gives you a floating city to live in
Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel is the next D&D book, and it's an anthology of adventures much like Candlekeep Mysteries. However, this one spotlights an entirely new setting that draws on the experiences and culture of its predominantly POC creative team.
Due to join the best tabletop RPGs on shelves worldwide this June 21 2022, Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel revolves around an ancient metropolis that floats adrift within the Ethereal Plane. Known as a 'City of Stories', it was carved from the fossil of some colossal, unidentified creature that the book's creators say has never been seen in Dungeons and Dragons before. This also serves as a homebase to players while they travel the multiverse.
Project co-lead Ajit George - previously a writer on Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft and director of operations for the Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project - noted that it was important for the Radiant Citadel to be a place of hope without political backstabbing or monsters lurking amongst the shadows. During a press reveal, he stated that this is meant to be an "ecological paradise" that acts as a reprieve from today's world. It also offers a way of spotlighting worlds created by a diverse creative team. More specifically, George says that roughly 50 POC creators are involved in Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel, and both book covers - the standard and alternative versions - were made by POC artists. This list of contributors includes Life is Strange: True Colors writer Felice Tzehuei Kuan, senior D&D game designer Justice Ramin Arman, Critical Role's product marketing manager Surena Marie, and TRIAL creator Dominique Dickey.
