@Wizards_DnD @JeremyECrawford Not sure where to ask this… with regards to playing a campaign in Theros, can you only use the monsters represented in the book or can you use monsters from any source?

When you run an official D&D adventure or use an official setting, you may customize it however you like. At your table, it's your adventure and your world! #DnD https://t.co/wQvQe2OI9l

1997-98 Fun Fact: I wrote a handful of material for the Hercules & Xena roleplaying game by West End Games, which was never published because of that company’s bankruptcy. No, I didn’t repurpose any of it for the Theros book…

The material I wrote was never published. The game was. Sorry that was not clear.

2020 Fun Fact: I totally wrote more Homeric hexameter for this book. I am drunk with power. Drunk, I tell you!

Ever since I did Plane Shift: Zendikar in 2015, the question I’ve heard most often is, “Will you do Theros next?” This book has been tremendous fun to work on, and I’m so glad it’s finally announced!

@JeremyECrawford @Dan_Dillon_1 @adamofadventure @aquelajames @ChrisPerkinsDnD One of the things I really appreciated from Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica was the description on how the DnD classes fit into the world. For Theros…

… lone tower outside of a polis could be taken as an affront to at least a few of the gods for any number of reasons. And so on.. so what do the classes of DnD look like on theros and where do they fit in the world?
— Doubt (@Rob30760805) June 9, 2020
Any of the classes fit. The gods of Theros invest chosen mortals with power in all manner of ways. A warlock making a pact with one of the gods is a more formalized and potent expression of what’s happening in the Piety system. The god is making a larger up front investment. 1/9
Some gods are distant and more unknowable, like Kruphix and Klothys. Their investments could result in Great Old One warlocks as much as they could Knowledge Domain clerics. 2/9— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) June 9, 2020
I wouldn’t put it past Phenax to whisper secrets into a mortal’s ear when it suits his schemes. Hexblade warlocks are a lovely darker reflection of how the gods grant their weapons to especially powerful champions in times of need. 3/9 There are ancient horrors bound beneath the sea ("normal" and nadir krakens), titans jailed in impossible chains within the depths of the Underworld, and Who Knows What that could be birthed from the starry realm of Nyx at any time, or has been for who knows how long. 4/9
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) June 9, 2020
Sphinxes and powerful demons could have their own reasons for investing a mortal with eldritch power, and very different expectations of the price paid, or yet to be paid. 5/9 As far as wizards, Meletis, the first Polis, was founded on the concepts of knowledge and magic being a force that can change the world. It has learning institutions, libraries, philosophical schools, and many citizens know at least a few spells. It's a wizard's paradise. 6/9

In the lore of the plane there’s even at least one character who is absolutely an example of an artificer. Imagine inventors who learned from Dalakos, emulating his creations and honing their own gifts. 7/9 And paladins, remember, are not bound to gods, but oaths. The leonin iconoclasts who reject worship of any gods could still swear the Oath of Devotion or Glory to defend their people, or the Oath of Vengeance to actively seek out and destroy threats to their home. 8/9
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) June 9, 2020
Absolutely any class can find a home in Theros. Remember that all something needs to exist there is the spark of belief. Happy gaming! 9/9 #dnd #WotCStaff pic.twitter.com/2GamvIOvGD
