D&D Direct is an official live-streamed event which will take place on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 9 am PDT (5pm BST).

The event will talk about the future of Dungeons & Dragons, and the Project Sigil 3D virtual tabletop.

You'll be able to watch it on the D&D YouTube channel.

2024 Player's Handbook
As the official release of the 2024 Player's Handbook draws near, we'll be taking you for a last peek before you can start playing with the revised rules! You'll get a closer look at the stunning artwork throughout the book and more.

The Future of D&D
We'll also unveil an outline for the future of D&D, including what awaits your heroes in addition to the releases of the remaining 2024 Core Rulebooks. Tune in to discover what thrilling challenges, familiar realms, and formidable foes will test the mettle of your party as you embark on new magical stories!

Project Sigil
The Project Sigil closed beta is coming soon, and we want to show what's in store! Project Sigil is an immersive 3D sandbox to help you run your D&D games. With it, you can bring your games to life in impeccable detail as you create your adventures, share them with friends, and play them together as a group!

You can sign up for the Project Sigil closed beta, which kicks off this fall, to be one of the lucky players who will preview the functionality and provide feedback to help improve D&D's next virtual experience.

When and Where to Watch
D&D Direct will premiere on August 27, 2024, at 9 a.m. PDT on D&D's YouTube channel. In addition to big D&D announcements, there will even be a special collab with Magic: The Gathering to celebrate D&D's 50th anniversary!

Come join in on the fun and experience what's next for D&D together!

3. The 3.5 Animated Series Handbook, included with the cartoon DVD set, still refers to their world as "the Realm" and displays a very different world map. Notably, it was edited by Perkins.

How have I not heard of this before?!? Did it have a physical release?

 

[Remathilis]

I just hope that now that they've set the Multiverse as the core setting and made the PHB generally setting neutral, that when they do Settings, they remember that they can make those settings use only some of the available options, rather than force everywhere to be "kitchen sink".

In 10 years and 11+ settings, they have yet to ban anything but limiting species to "these aren't native, ask your DM if you can play one". I highly suspect that any and all official settings will continue that trend.

How have I not heard of this before?!? Did it have a physical release?

Yup. Rather pricy now

 

[SteveC]

As someone who was calling for WotC to tell us what happens next, I'm glad they listened to me and put something together.

But seriously: I think it's good that they have decided to talk about what's next. I'm amused that they didn't say anything about this at Gen Con, but marketing isn't their strong suit at the moment. It will be interesting to see what the plan is.

I bought one for my son some time after they came out.

Funny thing is these would linger in stores for a long time. Then suddenly they became collectible and they all disappeared.

I'm looking foreword to what they have coming with this.

I was calling it Vengerstruck.

 

[Stormonu]

I wonder if we'll ever see poor ol' Mystara. It seems to have been forgotten.

 

[Parmandur]

I wonder if we'll ever see poor ol' Mystara. It seems to have been forgotten.

Mystara has a whole chapter in the next art book, Worlds & Realms, in a couple months!

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I wonder if we'll ever see poor ol' Mystara. It seems to have been forgotten.

It's getting a mention in the (third party) worlds of D&D book coming out in October. It seems unlikely that WotC would have handed over the art assets for it to be included if they were memory-holing it. (There's no chapter on Jakandor, for instance.)

 

[Nikosandros]

I wonder if we'll get a guide as to how Beyond will have both 2014 and 2024 available at the same time.
Because so far they've not said much and early access is a few days away.

Yes, this is something that I've also been wondering about and I'm disappointed about the silence from WotC on this.

OTOH, we do have at least one hint. They recently changed how you access the rules for each class. Instead of a drop-down menu, you are now taken to a separate page with a listing. It seems to me that this paves the way for having access to both the 2014 and the 2024 versions. We'll see.
