The collection includes Modiphius’ award-winning Fallout tabletop RPG, adapted specifically for Alchemy’s virtual tabletop platform. Players and gamemasters will have access to core and expanded rules, campaigns, adventures, NPCs, and a variety of gear for crafting and customization. The Alchemy Enhanced edition of the Core Rulebook enhances the experience with motion scenes, ambient sound loops, and an original dynamic score, designed to immerse players in the atmospheric world of Fallout.

Chris Eddie, CEO of Alchemy RPG, shared the motivation behind the initiative, stating,

“Seeing first-hand the devastation that many families have faced in our neighboring state of California due to the recent wildfires, we wanted to do something to help. So we partnered with our friends at Modiphius and Humble Bundle to put together a bundle that we think many will enjoy while supporting a fantastic organization providing meaningful help to those who have lost everything.”

The Humble Bundle platform allows customers to choose how much they wish to pay for the collection, with a portion of the proceeds directed toward organizations aiding wildfire recovery efforts in California.

This sourcebook introduces the richly detailed Tal’Dorei continent to tabletop roleplaying games. It is now available in both a standard module and an Alchemy Enhanced Edition, which adds immersive features such as dynamic soundtracks, ambient soundscapes, motion overlays, and other supplemental media designed to enhance gameplay.

The partnership is set to expand further, with plans for additional Darrington Press titles to be added to the platform. Ivan Van Norman, Head of Publishing at Critical Role, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting Alchemy’s growth and the opportunities this partnership creates for fans to engage with the material in new ways.

“We’ve been watching Alchemy since the launch of their Early Access product and have been impressed with how they’ve grown and matured the platform into what it is today. We’re excited to offer our games on Alchemy and provide new ways for our community to experience them.”

The Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn is now accessible for purchase on the Alchemy Marketplace in both editions.
