WotC D&D Direct--Learn About Upcoming D&D On April 21st!

D&D Direct is a 30-minute video which WotC will be releasing on April 21st at 9am Pacific Time (5pm BST, if I have my time zones correct). They'll be using it to reveal stuff about upcoming D&D projects (including video games and entertainment). The video will be presented by Anna Prosser and B. Dave Walters.

This is being billed in an emailed announcement entitled "Learn Everything That’s Happening This Year for Dungeons & Dragons" as the "first ever D&D Direct", so presumably there are more planned.

​

The D&D Team at Wizards of the Coast is excited to debut D&D Direct, a jam-packed thirty-minute video presentation on April 21 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.

Tune in to see exclusive reveals from the world's greatest roleplaying game, including video games, entertainment, and more, guided by hosts Anna Prosser and B. Dave Walters.

D&D Direct will be broadcast on the D&D YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/DNDWizards) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dnd) channels.

To find out more on D&D Direct go to dnd.wizards.com and follow the official D&D social media accounts for more updates.

See you on April 21 at 9:00 AM PT for the first-ever D&D Direct!

So the movie title appears to be 3 words, long, short, medium in length. So let's see who can guess the actual title first. Free popcorn NFT if you win!

While I had a momentary flash of, "Against the Giants! Ooo!" - closer examination reveals it to be "UNTITLED D&D MOVIE":

Nerd Immersion did a video earlier today that got a clearer look at it. Seems to say:

UNTITLED D&D MOVIE
Directed by
Jonathan Goldstein
John Francis Daley

Exactly what we've known for over a year already then.

Does seem to imply that they're ready to talk about it to some extent, so it's possible they'll announce the actual title next week.

D&D&D?

Rule 34 probably agrees.

With them having just acquired DNDbeyond.com it will not be pdf's as that IPad can run the DDB app

And yet…that’s an image of the full art and layout of a print book…on a tablet. Maybe they’ll reformat DDB to appear more like the actual books.

If they did it inside the D&DBeyond mobile app, it could be a way to give a pdf-like experience in a not-as-easily-pirated way.

edit: Come to think of it, I wonder if they'll roll D&DB and Dragon+ into one app.

Pirates will always find a way.

Oh, of course - if media is being displayed on a device, there's a way to pirate it. Just because you or I know how to do that, though, doesn't mean the average gent around town does. As Gabe Newell articulated it - the trick isn't to provide a product cheaper than the pirated one, it's to provide a product that's better than the pirated one.

Is the mat that the minis are on something? I feel like I recognize it but I don't know why.

It's Mithral Mines from the 3.x Fane of the Drow Fantastic Locations.

I remember the video where Ellewick Tumblestrum said anything about X-Box when she visited our world. I guess that wink was because there is some deal between Hasbro and Microsoft. If Hasbro was with Microsft and Disney with Apple, then... what about the licences of Star Wars and Marvel, to Mattel?

In the past I mentioned the idea of a videogame about Dragonlance to reintroduce the franchise in the current market to the new generations.

That video was just referencing the Drizzt video game (I can't even remember it's name).
