There are few fantasy franchises more well-known thanDungeons and Dragons, thoughWorld of Warcraftwould certainly be one of the contenders. With both games boasting long, healthy lifespans, a crossover between the two is a no-brainer. Fans shouldn’t necessarily expect anything official anytime soon, but there is a conversion addingWorld of Warcraftto the tabletop world ofDungeons and Dragonsnow.
Wyatt Trull, the creator behind popular content on the community-driven DM’s Guild platform, has created a conversion kit that will help players bring theworld of Azerothalive in their ownDungeons and Dragonscampaigns. CalledBlood and Thunder!,Trull has been releasing new parts of the campaign periodically on his Patreon page, while also sharing some of it to his Instagram account.

There are several aspects toBlood and Thunder!that make it interesting, though the current highlight seems to be the race conversions, which Trull has been releasing just about every week since December. While not all of the races have been incorporated into the conversion thus far, some of the fan-favorites have made their way into the game, like Tauren and Goblin races along with several others. Notably, there are also races like Half-Elf and Half-Orc, which arefeatured inDungeons and Dragonsbut aren’t playable inWorld of Warcraft.
Even some of the unconventional races have made an appearance in the conversion kit so far. Specifically, Trull released the Murloc race on March 24, playing into the gibberish-gurgling language that the Murlocs speak in theWarcraftuniverse. Voting for which race will be released next is currently underway, with Troll, Undead, and Worgen featured as options. The vote is only open to Trull’s Patrons.
Blood and Thunder!does have top-tier production value for an independent project. The pages boast impressive artwork, reminiscent of bothWorld of WarcraftandDungeons and Dragonsproper. Trull is no stranger to creating official-qualityDungeons and Dragonscontent, so that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, though theWorld of Warcraftconversion especially looks like it could be found on store shelves in shops around the world.
How far Trull is willing to take the conversion remains to be seen, but it’s certainly off to a great start.Dungeons and Dragonsfeatures endless possibilities for characters and campaigns, with a number ofDungeons and Dragonsconversions out in the wild crossing it over with everything fromThe Elder ScrollstoDestiny.World of Warcraftis a great option, and it’ll be interesting to see what the community cooks up next.
