A New Frontier: Exodus Takes the TTRPG Scene by Storm

Who would’ve thought that 2023 would bring us another exciting TTRPG release, and not from the usual D&D powerhouse, Wizards of the Coast? Instead, it’s their very own video game division, Archetype Entertainment, that’s surprising us with a new sci-fi RPG: Exodus Traveler’s Handbook.

This isn’t just any ordinary TTRPG. It’s the brainchild of legendary game designer James Ohlen, the mind behind beloved RPGs like Knights of the Old Republic and Neverwinter Nights. Ohlen’s involvement is a major draw for RPG enthusiasts, promising a deep, immersive, and story-rich experience.

While D&D has been dominating the TTRPG scene for decades, it’s refreshing to see Wizards branching out into new genres and IPs. Exodus offers a unique opportunity to explore a fresh sci-fi setting, filled with alien worlds, advanced technology, and epic space adventures.

But why now, and why Exodus?

Perhaps it’s a strategic move to capitalize on the growing popularity of sci-fi RPGs. Or maybe it’s a way to foster a dedicated community for the upcoming Exodus video game. Either way, this unexpected release has ignited excitement among TTRPG fans.

As we eagerly await the release of Exodus Traveler’s Handbook on December 10th, I can’t help but wonder: What other surprises does Wizards have in store for us? Could this be the start of a new era for TTRPGs, one that’s less reliant on D&D? Only time will tell.
