Dungeons & Dragons is growing in popularity, Pathfinder is testing out two new classes, Luke Gygax seeks to reprint some of his dad’s work, and one Baldur’s Gate 3 companion just got a lot more chatty.

Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned justiciar, here’s how to start playing D&D after Baldur’s Gate 3.

WotC made the surprising move of partnering with third-party content on D&D Beyond. It also assured fans that the likes of Eberron and Dragonlance in 5E aren’t fading away. Outside of WotC, HeroQuest expands, Critical Role previews its fantasy RPG, and Baldur’s Gate 3 brings the difference of video games and tabletop to the forefront of discourse. 

The inevitable has happened, as official Dungeons & Dragons products get tied up in the AI art trend. But there’s good news, too, as the ENnies celebrate another batch of TTRPG greatness.

There’s hope and worry as Hasbro teases more AI, Coyote & Crow take home a big win, and the One Ring finds a new home. ‍

This week’s big stories show another big player take a stance against AI while Dimension 20 previews its next season. All the while, Backerkit has been building to a successful debut in the crowdfunding space.
