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!

Haha. This Parmandur likes to gamble, I see.

They bet that Spelljammer is coming out this year despite the weighty (like, hippo-weight) evidence to the contrary. I bet that it's not.

Really! That's the first time I've seen someone argue that Spelljammer wasn't coming back in any form - what do you think it'll be instead?

Because it's a silly silly setting! Everyone knows that phlogiston isn't explosive!
You kind of need the context: D&D 5E - Spelljammer Confirmed (MAYBE, April Fools?) (warning: it goes on for a couple pages and you might laugh out loud... or hate me... either is good)

You just don't wanna change an avatar.

Maaaaybe. But you are cube de cubed. And rjraD is as backwards as Modron.

EDIT: I'm also green with envy at your cool new avatar.

Fair - the gentleman's agreement between @Parmandur and I wasn't over whether or not Spelljammer wasn't going to make an appearance, but what that would look like. They argued that Winninger had called it a 'setting project', and that that inherently meant a campaign setting book - I still maintain that an adventure can be a setting revisit, and I still think it'll be what you and I talked about months ago. Essentially, a somewhat less silly, potentially 'Cowboy Bebop' inspired take on Spelljammer as a Big Summer Adventure. We'll see soon enough, it sounds like.

Looks like this was pre-recorded:

Preparing for the next voyage of exploration, eh? Interesting verbiage.

Not only that, but they're offering these "tokens" to help prepare them for that voyage. Both "tokens" are Spelljammer-related (Boo, the Miniature Giant Space Hamster, and Giff, the Space Hippo-Gunslingers).
