Mythic Odysseys of Theros is now available digitally on D&D Beyond, ahead of its July physical release, and that means we get to take a look at a campaign setting rooted in concepts borrowed not from the standard Tolkien-inspired generic medieval world, but instead from a more mythical, classical idea.

Nowadays, it's hard to find a game that doesn't demand your attention after the credits roll, and while Evan's Remains does technically do that, it's only for a few moments to provide a bit of a bonus for some of the game's Kickstarter supporters.

Playtest content in Dungeons and Dragons — or Unearthed Arcana — is a lot of fun because it provides new options for everybody to explore and gives you a peek into what's coming out for D&D before it gets a book release.
