Neil Newbon features as the iconic D&D lich king Vecna in a newly released trailer for Vecna: Eve of Ruin. While he may sport the same dulcet tones as a certain pale elf, Newbon’s latest role looks a little less Astarion and a little more Withers.The actor recently expressed reluctance to put Baldur’s Gate 3 behind him and evidently, he’s not done with the wider world of Dungeons & Dragons either. Who can blame him? D&D is considered one of thebest tabletop RPGsfor good reason.Part of the enduring appeal of D&D is its iconic 50-year legacy, which the Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventure is keenly tapping into. There’s plenty to catch up with on everything you should know about Vecna: Eve of Ruin but in short, the high-stakes adventure sends a level 10-20 party around the multiverse to thwart what is arguably D&D’s most infamous villain.
