Celebrate fifty years of the spellbinding settings and planes of Dungeons & Dragons with this beautifully illustrated exploration of the multiverse.

“A wonderful collection. This incredible journey through the fantastical realms that inspired countless tables to roll dice together is both an educational and a visual treat!”—Matt Mercer

Worlds & Realms is an illustrated, story-driven retrospective celebrating the immersive worldbuilding of D&D since the iconic game’s inception in 1974. Legendary mage Mordenkainen takes adventurers on a fantastical journey through the multiverse, delving into memorable and fascinating lore and locations across all five editions of the game.

With Mordenkainen’s guidance, readers will revisit worlds that have come to define D&D over the decades, from the familiar realms of the Material Plane to lands beyond the Astral Sea. Mordenkainen’s philosophical musings provide a mage’s-eye view of the worlds’ unique features, creatures, and characters, captivating readers’ imaginations as they learn more about the history and mysteries of the multiverse. Additionally, readers will join adventuring parties with inhabitants of each realm through exclusive short stories by award-winning contributors Jaleigh Johnson, Jody Houser and Eric Campbell, Jasmine Bhullar, and Geoffrey Golden.

Full of exciting and enchanting artwork showing fifty years of gameplay evolution from vintage D&D through the present, with original cover and chapter-opener illustrations,
Worlds & Realms is a spellbinding tour of the strange and wonderful worlds of the multiverse, appealing to both new and long-standing fans alike.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This incredible journey through the fantastical realms that inspired countless tables to roll dice together is both an educational and a visual treat! A wonderful collection that marries the history of the game with in-world stories and gorgeous art to present a unique and wondrous new way to engage, or re-engage, these worlds. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”—Matt Mercer

Worlds & Realms is a masterwork of in-universe storytelling and organic worldbuilding that narratively unifies the D&D multiverse for the first time in its history. It is for everyone who skips the stats and tables to devour the narrative details of the campaign setting and the legendary heroes who define them.”—Wil Wheaton

“A love letter to the fantastical fabric of Dungeons & Dragons itself . . . beside each lush illustration, from well-known to nigh-forgotten, and beneath the florid prose of Mordenkainen himself is author Adam Lee . . . [whose] credentials with Wizards of the Coast speak for themselves, and he’s the true beating heart behind this book.”—GeekDad

“D&D’s multiverse is extremely vast and complicated, and
Worlds & Realms seems to fill a much-needed gap to help both newcomers and long-time players make sense of its fantastical realms. . . . But this is no dry, matter-of-fact history book. Instead, readers will explore these settings through the narration of the archmage Mordenkainen, who shares his personal experiences of these locations and thoughts on the legendary characters who’ve lived there.”—Polygon

Worlds & Realms will take us on a journey deep into the art, history, and tales of many of D&D’s most popular locations . . . in true Dungeons & Dragons fashion, we’ll receive an immersive experience as the legendary mage Mordenkainen guides us through the locations and weaves a brilliant story around us.”—Nerdist

Worlds & Realms is an incredible triumph for the D&D brand. . . . It’s impressive simply as an artbook but to an aspiring dungeon master, it could serve as inspiration for hundreds of exciting campaigns. For a D&D novice, this book will answer all the questions they didn’t even know they had.”—The Fandom Post

“Along with being an epic tome of endless knowledge on lore and locations all throughout the multiverse, this book is a visual masterpiece filled with breathtaking artwork that will transport readers on adventures they’ve only ever seen in their dreams.”
—CBR

Adam Lee worked for Wizards of the Coast for more than a decade creating worlds and adventures for Dungeons & Dragons and Magic the Gathering. He now works as a story consultant, worldbuilder, and creative writer for Mysterious Alchemy, an IP development company that he cofounded with fellow creative and friend Ari Levitch. He is also the author of two tarot booklets and has been a tarot reader for most of his life.

Dungeons & Dragons launched the great tradition of roleplaying games in 1974 with an unprecedented mix of adventure and strategy, dice-rolling, and storytelling. Wizards of the Coast continues to honor that tradition, bringing to market a diverse range of D&D game and entertainment experiences and influencing numerous writers, directors, and game designers by tapping into an innate human need to gather with friends and tell an exciting story together.

Beautiful collection
As someone new to D&D, I frequently want to learn more about the world's and realms of the multiverse. I'm not quite ready to create my pen world, and maybe never will be. This book provides a lot of valuable insight and information told from the perspective of a D&D legend. It's beautifully illustrated, well organized, and full of useful information about a variety of subjects.The book does look like it was dropped on one corner, damaging the binding slightly. The book is whole though and I'm satisfied with the product! I look forward to creating adventures for my table using this as a tool to provide insight into the worlds of D&D.

    For anyone playing or just interested in D&D this is a wonderful book. It's like an overview of many of the different settings featured in the many adventure books. It's written in an entertaining style and there are numerous illustrations throughout. It's nice to see a mix of vintage artwork along with the current style of art. The book covers quite a lot and since I'll never get to play all of the different adventure books this is a fun way to get a sense of the different areas in The Forgotten Realms. Does it cover everything you could possible want to know about D&D lore? No, but that's okay. This is a solid overview. If you want to get into something very specific I personally enjoy seeking out vintage novels, setting books and modules. Production-wise this is a large oversize hardcover, study binding, and good quality paper and reproductions. Feels like a top quality art book. The design layout of the pages could be more elegant but it's functional. Overall this is a fun book and highly recommended for both new and old players alike. I hope this review helps!

    I don’t just read rule/sourcebooks for reference when I’m in campaigns. I read them because I absolutely love the world of Dungeons & Dragons. This unending canvas of fantasy fun has followed me since I was in high school. When I heard that Worlds & Realms would be complete with lore, history and stories from all across the in-game multiverse, I was sold. I rarely ever pre-order books, but I made an exception this time and I do not regret it for a second. It’s rich with information and detail, paired with incredible art from page to page. By far, this has to be my favorite of the D&D ‘books. I couldn’t recommend it enough. If you’re into the lore and diverse settings of D&D like I am, you’ll be head over heels in love with Worlds & Realms.

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2024
    without doubt, this is a book made with a lot of love for D&D's many campaign worlds. It really dives in depth into the various campaign settings: Greyhawk, Mystara, Eberron, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer, Dragonlance, including the inner, outer planes, the transitive planes (astral) which is essentially Planescape. It's a literal wikipedia with stunning art of lore. One unfortunate omission is Athas, the world of Dark Sun, though I imagine it's due to the controversial nature of the setting. The art gathers pieces old and new from about 50 years of published campaign material, though Ive never really seen it printed in such vivid quality and color, the pages are thick glossy stock, binding is very solid, this book is meant to last many decades. Overall if you have a Dungeon Master in your life, this is the perfect book to get them.

    First pass review: When this book shares the presentation style and indeed, the title even suggests it is part of a series or collection like the excellent book Art & Arcana it becomes nearly impossible to not compare the two. After several days with this book, I felt disappointed. Initially, I couldn't put my finger on it. The art was solid as D&D art always is but I was left feeling like the book had a lack of cohesiveness. It didn't flow or give me much of a feeling of each realm we were visiting. It felt like someone said, "I visited a bunch of places, here are a few random snapshots of each." And truthfully, the flavor text did very little to help. I thought, amid all the recent D&D turmoil am I just over D&D as a whole? (WOTC yes, but D&D is not really theirs, no matter how much their lawyers tell me otherwise). So I grabbed my copy of Art & Arcana, and BAM just as good as I remembered! Visually and narratively it tells a story and shows a logical progression. Not just the art but the layout and presentation. Worlds & Realms does NOT have that and does not feel that way. And dare I say it's basic presentation (or lack thereof) is distracting from the otherwise fantastic art. I really hope Adam Lee's vision was not realized, whether due to time restraints, budget, access or other factors because if it was, I'm not seeing it and I'm getting it. 3 stars for the art alone. Now it sits on my shelf. I am going to give it a month or two and pick it up again and reevaluate. We'll see....
