More Spelljammer Details Emerge: Spelljammer Academy, Flash Gordon, Light of Xaryxis
As you've heard, the D&D team officially announced yesterday what has long been teased – Spelljammer is coming to 5th Edition. (The team says that they announced Spelljammer on April 1 only no one believed them.) After the official presentation during today's D&D Direct, Chris Perkins, one of the architects of 5th edition and the project lead for the Spelljammer team, answered some additional...
More DRAGONLANCE Information: Kender, Battles, W&H's Novels, & More!
In addition to the official videos announcing Dragonlance releases for late 2022, I got to talk to talk to the D&D team and get a few more details not in the public D&D Direct event. Because Dragonlance is a setting about war, Ray Winninger, Executive Producer of Dungeons & Dragons, was asked if Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen would have large-scale combat rules. He said that they...

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep Review
Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep is the first full D&D adventure set in the world of Exandria. It brings elements of what a Critical Role campaign can feel like as well as some a few challenges compared to the typical D&D release.

Beadle & Grimm's Platinum Edition of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
A great deal of thought clearly goes into Beadle & Grimm's products, from props to packaging. For their Platinum Edition of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, that makes opening the shipping box feel like Christmas morning.

The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny
With The Legend of Vox Machina, Critical Role comes full circle from being voice actors playing D&D (first in a private game, then streaming on Geek & Sundry) to an $11 million Kickstarter for an animated special. That success attracted streaming network interest, which then morphed into a 24-episode animated series where they're voicing their own characters.

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse: An In-Depth Review
Every new D&D book comes with its own share of hype and debate. In the case of The D&D Rules Expansion Gift Set, it has also come with a lot of speculation.

RPG Fiction: A Review of Critical Role: Vox Machina – Kith & Kin
Critical Role expanded into comic books awhile ago, telling tales of Vox Machina. Although their first campaign started in late 2012, Critical Role began streaming on March 12, 2015. The characters started that stream at 9th level, so there are still plenty of gaps to fill in about Vox Machina's early days and their origins. With Critical Role: Vox Machina – Kith & Kin, we're finally digging...

Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos - An In-Depth Review
Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos is the latest D&D 5E book based on a Magic the Gathering set. That's led a lot of people to refer to it as Harry Potter meets D&D, but that's not accurate for reasons I will explain below.

Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say
The delayed release of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons made the roll out of reviews a bit different than usual. Some reviews came out on the original release timetable because those review copies shipped normally. Others came later due to the shipping issues plaguing so many industries right now, and reviewers who bought their own copies were even later

Fizban's Treasury of Dragons: An In-Depth Review
Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, the latest D&D dragon compendium, breaks with tradition by not being titled Draconomicon. That's, in part, to avoid confusion with prior four Draconomicons and, in part, to follow the 5E trend of supplements having a famous in-world author, like Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say
The reviews for The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, D&D's first official adventure set in the Feywild, are out. Since TWBtW is also the first official adventure designed so that it can be resolved without any combat if desired, making it something new for the game, you might be wondering how other reviews stack up next to my assessment.

Domains of Delight: An In-Depth Review
In numerous interviews promoting The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, Chris Perkins mentioned that DMs would have guidance on how to create their own Feywild Domains and ruling archfey. What was rarely mentioned was that such material was not in the new hardcover book.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight: An In-Depth Review
The Wild Beyond the Witchlight isn't just Wizards of the Coast's latest Dungeons & Dragons adventure. It's the first official, full-length adventure from WotC set in the Feywild. While often mentioned, the counterpart to the Shadowfell has gotten much less attention through the editions. Domans of Delight Ravenloft/Barovia, Falkovnia, etc. have been around for years as have their Darklords...
