Unearthed Arcana(abbreviatedUA)[1]is the title shared by twohardbackbooks published for differenteditionsof theDungeons & Dragonsfantasyrole-playing game.Both were designed as supplements to the core rulebooks, containing material that expanded upon other rules.

The originalUnearthed Arcanawas written primarily byGary Gygax,and published by game publisherTSRin 1985 for use with theAdvanced Dungeons & Dragonsfirst edition rules. The book consisted mostly of material previously published in magazines, and included new races,classes,and other material to expand the rules in theDungeon Masters GuideandPlayers Handbook.The book was notorious for its considerable number of errors, and was received negatively by the gaming press whose criticisms targeted the over-powered races and classes, among other issues. Gygax intended to use the book's content for a planned second edition ofAdvanced Dungeons & Dragons;however, much of the book's content was not reused in the second edition, which went into development shortly after Gygax's departure from TSR.

A second book titledUnearthed Arcanawas produced byWizards of the CoastforDungeons & Dragonsthird editionin 2004. The designers did not reproduce material from the original book, but instead attempted to emulate its purpose by providing variant rules and options to change the game itself.

The titleUnearthed Arcanais also used for a regular series on the officialDungeons & Dragonswebsite that presents newplaytestcontent forDungeons & Dragonsfifth edition.

Development history

[edit]

The originalUnearthed Arcanawas written byGary Gygaxwith design and editing contributions byJeff GrubbandKim Mohan,respectively, and published byTSRin 1985.[2]: 128 Gygax reportedly produced the book to raise money as TSR was deeply in debt at the time.[3]He announced in the March 1985 issue ofDragonmagazine thatUnearthed Arcanawould be released in the summer of that year. He proposed the book as "an interim volume to expand theDungeon Masters GuideandPlayers Handbook",as the information was spread out in several places and difficult to keep track of.[4]Unearthed Arcanawas to include material previously published inDragon,written by Gygax and updated and revised for the book. The book would also contain previously unpublished material, some of it written by other contributors toDragon.[4]According to British writerPaul Cockburn,some of the material inUnearthed Arcanahad been previously published inImaginemagazine.[5]

The originalUnearthed Arcanacontains errors in its text, which readers discovered and reported toDragonmagazine.[6]Even some positive reviews of the book pointed out the considerable number of mistakes.[7]DragoneditorKim Mohan,with ideas from Gygax,Frank Mentzer,and Jeff Grubb, addressed the many errors found in the book. In the November 1985 issue ofDragonmagazine, Mohan printed four pages of rules corrections as well as new supplementary material intended to be inserted into the book, and some explanations and justifications for items which were not actually errors,[6]and compiled a two-page list of type corrections meant to be pasted into further revisions ofUnearthed Arcana.[8]Dragonalso devoted the entirety of its "Sage Advice" column in the January 1987 issue to answering readers' questions aboutUnearthed Arcana,as a follow-up to Mohan's prior column.[9]However, the errata were not incorporated into later printings of the manual.[10]

In 1999, apaperbackreprint of the first edition was released.[11]

Wizards of the Coast reproduced the originalUnearthed Arcanain a premium edition featuring gilded pages, released on February 19, 2013, following the premium reprints of the original 1st EditionPlayer's Handbook,Dungeon Masters Guide,andMonster Manual.[12]This reprint is the first printing of the book to be modified using the errata previously published inDragonmagazine incorporated into the corrected text.[13]

The 128-pageUnearthed Arcanawas written for use with theAdvanced Dungeons & Dragonsfirst edition rules and was divided into two sections: one for players and one for theDungeon Master(or "DM", the game organizer).[2][14]The book provided newraces,classes,and other expansion material. The book gives details on using "subraces" of the standard races, such as darkelves(drow), and deepgnomes(svirfneblin), for use asplayer charactersandnon-player characters.

Unearthed Arcanaincludes thebarbarian(found inDragon#63[15]),cavalier(found inDragon#72[16]), andthief-acrobat(found inDragon#69[17])character classes,[4][5]and also includes expansions and revisions for thedruidandrangercharacter classes.[4]The book presents new options for character races, including the drow and svirfneblin.[5]The book includes new weapons, and revised information on maximum character levels for non-human player characters.[4]Unearthed Arcanadetails the weapon specialization rules, in which afighteror ranger "can adopt a weapon as a special arm, and receive bonuses in its use".[5]The book also describes the comeliness attribute, and contains newspells.[5]The section for the Dungeon Master includes suggestions for handlingplayer characters,tables for social class and rank, newmagic items,rules for combat without weapons, and gods for nonhumans.[14]

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons2nd edition

[edit]

By 1985, Gygax was planning a second edition for theAdvanced Dungeons & Dragons(AD&D) rules, with his intention to begin work on this in 1986. He intended to incorporate material fromUnearthed Arcana,Oriental Adventures,and the originalPlayers Handbookinto the new edition'sPlayers Handbook.[18]Gygax used his work on the book to explore ideas for the new edition, such as changing the mechanics for hit dice (the measurement of a character's "health"in the game), and changing the mechanics to allow the game system to work with other genres, and to allow characters to have skills that complement the character classes.[19]Shortly after announcing his intentions for second edition, Gygax was removed as TSR's president and chairman of the board. In 1986, he resigned entirely from TSR, leaving further direction ofDungeons & Dragonsto other designers.[20]

The designers of second editionAdvanced Dungeons & Dragonsremoved material from the originalPlayers Handbookin the new edition, as well as much of the new material that had appeared inUnearthed Arcana,which they considered to be "unbalanced".[21]The book had five printings after the release ofAD&D2nd edition with the last printing published two years after the new edition was released.[10]

The second book to use the nameUnearthed Arcanawas written byAndy Collins,Jesse Decker,David Noonan,andRich Redman,and published in February 2004 byWizards of the Coast,for use with theDungeons & Dragonsthird editionrules.[22]Cover art was byMatt Cavotta,with interior art bySteven Belledin,Ed Cox,Wayne England,Emily Fiegenschuh,David Hudnut,Jeremy Jarvis,Doug Kovacs,John and Laura Lakey,David Martin,Dennis Crabapple McClain,Mark Nelson,James Pavelec,Steve Prescott,David Roach,Richard Sardinha,Ron Spencer,Stephen Tappin,Joel Thomas,andBen Thompson.[22]

The designers intended the book for experienced players and Dungeons Masters who wanted something new, encouraging them to customize the game's rules. The designers did not want the third edition book to be like the originalUnearthed Arcanamechanically, because according to Andy Collins: "Every book on the market looks like the originalUnearthed Arcana.New classes, new spells, new magic items - that's the default "recipe" for a d20 product these days. We saw no need to do that with this book. "[23]Where the originalUnearthed Arcanahad simply expanded the rules and options of the core game, this 224-page supplement was aimed at providing an extensive list of variant rules and options to change the standard game itself.[23]The volume of options added was intentionally excessive; according to the designers, a Dungeon Master who reads the book must be prepared to "Drink from the fire hose"[22]: 4 and to think before using options that may radically imbalance the game.[23]The book ends with a checklist of the included variants, preceded by a short chapter discussing ways of transitioning among multiple games using different rulesets (one of which explicitly emulates the "Eternal Champion" stories ofMichael Moorcock).

Dungeons & Dragons5th edition

[edit]

TheUnearthed Arcanatitle has been used for a semi-regular series of digital releases at the officialD&Dwebsite that began in February 2015; the series presents new, work-in-progress content such as class archetypes, playable races, and rule variants, similar to theplaytestprocess that preceded the release of 5th edition.[24][25][26]Much of the information inXanathar's Guide to Everything(2017)[25]andTasha's Cauldron of Everything(2020) was developed through the publicUnearthed Arcanaplaytest.[27]On the playtestsubclassesdeveloped forTasha’s Cauldron of Everything,Jeremy Crawfordsaid "almost every single one made it into the game".[27]Starting in January 2018,Unearthed Arcanacontent was generally added toD&D Beyondapproximately one week after it was released on the officialD&Dwebsite.[28][29]Once the playtest period has concluded forUnearthed Arcanacontent (whether it is published in a book or retired, as determined by Wizards of the Coast), it is archived on D&D Beyond; existingcharacter sheetsalready using the content are able to continue doing so, but the archived playtest content can not be newly added to a character.[28]

Since August 2022,Unearthed Arcanaarticles have featuredOne D&Dplaytest material with releases now exclusive to D&D Beyond.[30][31][32]In August 2023, Crawford stated that since originally launchingUnearthed Arcanathey have "received more than 500,000 surveys from players based on their time spent with the" playtest content.[33]

Reception

[edit]

Reaction to theUnearthed Arcanahardcover was often critical. According toLawrence Schick,in his 1991 bookHeroic Worlds,"Many players regard the new character classes introduced in this volume as overly powerful and out of line with those in thePlayer's Handbook."[14]

Paul Cockburnreviewed the originalUnearthed Arcanain issue 73 ofWhite Dwarfmagazine (January 1986), rating it 4 out of 10 overall. He summed up the book's contents by calling them "A rules extension package of reprints, most of which add very little of interest or value to anybody's game."[5]

William B. Haddon's review of the third editionUnearthed ArcanaonRPGnetlauded the book's content while criticizing the interest level of the content as "very flat". He found the power level unbalanced for each of the new sub-systems introduced, and found little in the suggested rules that he wanted to use.[152]

Viktor Coble listedUnearthed Arcanaas #10 onCBR's 2021 "D&D: 10 Best Supplemental Handbooks" list, stating that "If there is ever a supplemental guide to include in a player's library, it's any of the" Unearthed Arcana "editions. They're by far one of the most useful handbooksD&Dever puts out, and are rarely a regretted addition. "[153]

James Maliszewski forBlack Gatein 2014 said "Unearthed Arcanawas a game changer by being something Ididn'twant. Or perhaps I should say that it simply failed to be what I hoped it would be. Even now, I'm not entirely sure what it was that I hoped the book would be. I know only that I once lovedD&Dwithout ceasing and, by the time,Unearthed Arcanacame out, I no longer did. It would take years before I loved it again with the same passion I did in those heady early days. It's unfair to lay the blame for that onUnearthed Arcana,even though I did for years afterwards. "[154]

Scott Taylor ofBlack Gatelisted theUnearthed Arcanaas #3 on the list of "Top 10 'Orange Spine'AD&DHardcovers By Jeff Easley, saying "Truly one of the most iconic wizard images EVER! How many times has this been ripped off?"[155]
