James Wyatt recently released the fourth conversion of a Magic: the Gathering setting to D&D 5e. Amonkhet is an Egyptian-inspired dark fantasy setting, which James describes in the Introduction as “outside the core D&D experience,” but I’m not completely sure why – other than being a pastiche of a place that isn’t Europe or Asia, even the elevator pitch is dense with D&D-friendly adventure hooks. Amonkhet is also built upon a dark secret – well, secret from the characters at least. Nicol Bolas’s secret control of the whole plane is advertised throughout the document, and players would have a hard time missing it. Anyway, the document is crammed with usable content, so let’s dive in.
