Players are wondering what exactly this new set of rules means for their games. Can they just keep playing 5E as they have been for years? Will future campaign books phase out the old rules and force them to learn new rules? And is parent company Hasbro really trying to turn D&D into a subscription-based service like every video game is nowadays?

Dungeons & Dragons shared release dates for its 2024 books, Humblewood made a surprise debut on D&D Beyond, Evil Genius Games got exposed, and Hasbro posted big losses despite Wizards of the Coast wins.

The attention-grabbing headline this time is a certain Dungeons & Dragons-playing celebrity and his thoughts on Wizards of the Coast. Also something about a Dragonlance live-action series.

A big piece of reporting, subject to much scrutiny, alleges that Hasbro might sell the D&D rights.

D&D conjured a VR game partnership, TTRPG TikTok is going big big for charity, the Rebel Moon RPG got stuck in the vault forever, and human fighter reins supreme.‍

Dungeons & Dragons has an odd trio of non-game books on the way. Also, Ars Magica is getting an updated 5th Edition while a former D&D developer gifted DMs a big boss fight.

This week is a mixed bag as we start with some very sad news concerning an industry legend. After that, we’ve got new game announcements and Wizards of the Coast embroiled in controversy once again.

The traditional, and some would say correct, way to play Dungeons & Dragons is gathered around a table. Yet as the hit game Baldur’s Gate 3 shows us, there is a better way.
