D&D 5E D&D Celebration Schedule

From September 23-26, the D&D community comes together for D&D Celebration – a weekend celebrating the release of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, and previewing Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons (Oct 19) and Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos (Nov 16)!

The first official D&D musical? The cast of Star Trek: Discovery rolling the d20s? This year’s D&D Celebration will offer fans a front row seat to watch all that and more as hilarious Dungeon Masters lead adventures in a slate of side-splitting virtual games including:

- Disco Does D&D
o Cast members from Star Trek: Discovery Anthony Rapp, Mary Wisemann, Blu del Barrio, Ian Alexander, and special guest Wil Wheaton, play D&D with Noah Averbach-Katz at the helm as DM

- The Circus of Sound – a D&D Musical
o The long-awaited D&D musical event starring Anthony Rapp, Jason Charles Miller, Azie Dungey, Vico Ortiz, and Mariah Rose Faith with Kelly Lynne D’Angelo as DM

- The Slapstick Hunt: A Silly Chase
o DM Amy Vorpahl leads cast members from The Guild, Sandeep Parikh, Vince Caso, Robin Thorsen, Amy Okuda, and Jeff Lewis on a comedic adventure through the multiverse

- The Dungeon & The Dragon
o An unlikely band of monsters are assembled to help a wronged dragon track down the heroes who stole her hoard with Alicia Marie, Deborah Ann Woll, Todd Stashwick, Patrick Rothfuss, and Matthew Lillard playing as monsters and B. Dave Walters as DM

- The Great Dragon Tourney
o Get ready for a tourney unlike any other featuring dragon jousting, racing, and diplomacy starring Anna Prosser, Mica Burton, Nathan Sharp, Jonathan Indovino, and Kate Welch (in an extra-special role) with Mark Hulmes as DM

The weekend will close with a look to the future of the brand with the Future of D&D panel hosted by D&D’s own Liz Schuh, Ray Winninger, Chris Perkins, and Jeremy Crawford.

All the while losing their core audience in an attempt to woo Twitter. Maybe that is why Hasbro has been shopping it around for a buyer before the Seattle mindset gets out and infects the rest of the company.

Nonsense.

 

[J.Quondam]

So many clouds to be angry and shake a fist at, it had to be posted twice...

One post for each angry fist.
Grrrr!
And this one, too, grrrr!

We will see whether the Wheaton dice curse continues strong or not.

''Losing their core audience''?

The game never had so many players and the core of the audience is younger players brought, in part, by social media and streaming.

Please don't gatekeep Neomsri's gatekeeping.

Counterpoint: D&D is more popular now than it's been in decades.

Edit: you're not one of those people who insisted Star Trek: Discovery has been cancelled every year of its soon-to-be 4 year run, are you?

And thus WOTC continues to promote Critical Role: The Board Game (formerly known as Dungeons & Dragons). Let’s highlight the game as pre-scripted and rules don’t matter as long as the ratings are good. All the while losing their core audience in an attempt to woo Twitter.

Ooof. I’ve seen people kick themselves in the nuts before. It I’ve never seen it in post form.

I'm confused. Is there hidden text I'm not seeing that only YOU see? Because I'm not seeing a lot of Critical Role in that promotional material. Or is this a case of: "Thems is celebrities in the list. Muz be Critical Role"?

There's a first time for everything. Oh, and it's a double post that makes up the list member's entire posting history. So you saw it twice!

Obviously it's because Wil Wheaton, Jason Charles Miller, Amy Vorpahl, Deborah Ann Woll, Patrick Rothfuss, Mica Burton, Mark Hulmes, and Chris Perkins all guested on Critical Role

When you put it that way, it makes Critical Role sound like "D&D: The TV Show."
