DnD Vecna: Eve of Ruin is the big daddy of 5E campaigns, and StartPlaying Dungeon Masters are here to deliver.

This week in TTRPG news, Hasbro reacts to past successes and failures with Dungeons & Dragons, while players put on the biggest game in the world. Meanwhile Pathfinder causally announced that it’s going to kill a god.

A well-known YouTuber made a website for paid playtesting of TTRPG content, Dimension 20 beat Taylor Swift ticket prices for a live show, and Hasbro worked to downplay past mistakes in favor of future potential.

Get in your power armor, grab a Nuka Cola, and turn up the radio; we’re spending a Week in the Wasteland! 

As part of the event, D&D Beyond itself is sending players to StartPlaying for special one-shots with professional Dungeon Masters. How does one become one of these chosen DMs?

Big plans for D&D’s 50th anniversary, an upsetting inclusion in PAX East’s booth lineup, more “potential” for AI, and a surprise appearance by a JRPG favorite. 

StartPlaying DMs will be offering sessions of Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth on the 26th using D&D Beyond Maps, Roll20, Foundry, and more.

StartPlaying is partnering with Alchemy RPG and Vaesen, the award-winning Nordic Horror game from Free League Publishing. We’re offering a weekend of thrills with beginner-friendly Vaesen games from trained Game Masters.
