When is Tal’Dorei Reborn due out?

Darlington Press’ first RPG will be released in phases. It’ll appear first in Guild Stores and the US, UK, CA and AU eCommerce sites.

We’re told that other local gaming stores will get the books about two weeks later.

When? We only have ballpark dates of either late 2021 or early 2022.

However, it might be worth holding out a bit longer as a deluxe edition from Beadle & Grimm has already been confirmed.
