Magic: The Gathering’s wizard school Strixhaven is coming to D&D

D&D setting the Forgotten Realms arrived in Magic: The Gathering recently, but crossovers going in the other direction are more common. Publisher Wizards of the Coast has already brought out several supplements introducing material based on Magic as part of D&D’s 5th edition, and the next of those is based on the wizard college of Strixhaven, which was the theme of April’s set of Magic cards.

Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos has info on the location, a magic university you can drop into an existing D&D world, as well four scenarios that can be strung together in a multiyear campaign where players begin as level-one first-year students and work their way up. It includes rules for playing the owlin (yep, owlfolk), various new spells, magic items, feats and backgrounds, as well as over 40 magical creatures and NPCs. The idea of running a campaign where everyone’s a college-age magic-user sounds like a riot, though I suspect it’ll contain options for broader character concepts as well.
