Uncharted Territory is a campaign setting made for Yogscast's Dungeons & Dragons series High Rollers D&D and sponsored by Wizards of the Coast to promote their then-upcoming adventure module Tomb of Annihilation. The Prologue episode aired during the Stream of Annihilation on June 3, 2017, with the subsequent ten episodes broadcast live every Friday, 8pm GMT/BST, on both the official Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Twitch channel and the Yogscast Twitch channel from June 30, 2017, to September 8, 2017.
The campaign follows a group of archaeologists in Chult who are looking for treasure and ancient artifacts. Mark Hulmes is the dungeon master for this campaign, with Chris Trott role-playing as both tabaxi sorcerer Six Frisky Flames and aarakocra artificier Ellik, Katie Morrison as half-elf street urchin Fia, Kim Richards as half-orc barbarian K’ehleyr Ragehorn and Matthew Toffolo as dwarven bard Sir Cromsby Regnus Dolnum the Third.
Backstory[]
- Based on Tomb of Annihilation.
|
"The talk of the streets and taverns has all been about the so-called death curse: a wasting disease afflicting everyone who’s ever been raised from the dead. Victims grow thinner and weaker each day, slowly but steadily sliding toward the death they once denied.
When they finally succumb, they can’t be raised—and neither can anyone else, regardless of whether they’ve ever received that miracle in the past. Temples and scholars of divine magic are at a loss to explain a curse that has affected the entire region, and possibly the entire world. The cause is a necromantic artifact called the Soulmonger, which is located somewhere in Chult, a mysterious peninsula far to the south, ringed with mountains and choked with rainforests.[1]" |

The Prologue episode first aired during Stream of Annihilation, a two days D&D event held in Seattle, Washington, on June 2 and 3, 2017. The event was broadcast live on the official Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Twitch channel and is organised by Wizards of the Coast (WotC). It is hosted by Anna Prosser Robinson and Kelly Link. The main highlight of the event is the introduction of the then-upcoming D&D adventure module Tomb of Annihilation that was later published in September 2017.[3][4]
Apart from the High Rollers D&D crew, D&D groups such as Acquisitions Incorporated: The "C" Team, Dragon Friends, Girls Guts Glory, Dice, Camera, Action!, Misscliks D&D: Risen and Maze Arcana, as well as special guests Abraham Benrubi, Adam Koebel, Dylan Sprouse, Joe Manganiello, Lauren "OboeCrazy" Urban, Liam O'Brien, Matt Colville, Matthew Lillard, Matthew Mercer, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, TrumpSC and Vieparlafoi, were also invited to the event.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In addition, various D&D partners like Cryptic Studios, Curse Media, Fantasy Grounds, Gale Force 9, Roll20 and WizKids introduced their future products related to the game, such as the D&D portal D&D Beyond and the video game Neverwinter.[3]
Trivia[]
- During the prologue episode, Mark gave Kim a handout out with an elaborate puzzle he had designed. After studying it for a few minutes, Kim figured out it was unsolvable as written and brought this to Mark's attention. When he checked, he discovered she was right and that the puzzle was a previous draft version rather than his final one he had tested successfully.
