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!

Yeah, I expect some Adventure material, but I think Rising from the Last War is a good comparison as it is the other 5E Setting product from Chris Perkins.

I think the organization will be more like VRGtR, but Crystal Sphere size, but at E: RftLW size. Plus an apendix with Spelljammer ship stats and rules.

And like I said if they don't have somekind of tie into Radiant Citadel, it's missed opportunity to build on what Ajit's team built.

"explore Realms both familiar and new" suggests classic settings and new setting, perhaps we might learn something about the new 2023 settings as well as this year's classic settings.

Maybe, or the starter set is in a new setting?

It’s OK Dave, we don’t need to see every tweet.

So what are all the Easter eggs hidden in that video? They can't all have been mentioned in this thread already. lol

also they need plenty of space for setting lore, different kinds of Spelljammers, Monsters, Races, possible subclasses & magic items, etc..., which will likely only leave room at best for an intro adventure.

I disagree. You would need 40 - 50 pages tops, outside the bestiary, which would be the same, adventure or setting.

They will at minimum need to covet Realmspace, Krynnspace, Greyspace and Clusterspace and will definitely want to cover more crystal Spheres then that, where will they get the space for more then an intro adventure?

I mean the whole point of publishing a Spelljammer Campaign Book, in part, is to connect all the different Prime Material Campaign settings and that will take space to do so.
