Neverwinter whips up a new tabletop campaign for April

You might recall that the too-clever-by-half Neverwinter team created a game-within-a-game a while back, transforming players into tabletop figures to go through a campaign by the marvelous Respen. Now a new campaign is on its way for April, inspired and created by the same mind behind a live D&D show at PAX Prime.

Starting in April, Portobello’s Campaign will take players on a multi-week adventure through brand-new tabletop maps and dungeons. Each week of the month will offer a new trial, taking players through the Underdark and beyond. Players can use the new campaign system to track their progress through the event.

Cryptic said that players should consider themselves in for a treat: “Being able to work with Chris Perkins was amazing. He wrote the dialogue for his characters and also contributed their voices. The recording sessions for his VO were side-splitting and he was great guy to collaborate with. If you liked the live game at PAX Prime, you’ll love getting to experience this new story with your favorite characters.”
