D&D General Former WotC Employee Greg Bilsland Returning to D&D?

[DEFCON 1]

I just saw on my Twitter (X) timeline that former WotC D&D employee Greg Bilsland has posted that he is returning to WotC as Executive Producer of Dungeons & Dragons.

No idea if any other official announcement has been made.

@darjr or @Morrus - this seems news worthy

Am I right in recalling he was primarily a 4E era contributor? Did he phase out in early 5E?

DuckDuckGo results indicate he left in 2016 after helping develop 5e.

I seem to recall being fond of this fellow.

He produced the 2014 books, didn’t he?

Might bode well for 5es continued stability.

Not familiar with him, but reaction so far seems okay. Hope it goes well.

He’s the DM in this video.

He was also in the charge of the closed playtesting program when I first joined. He seemed like a nice guy. Happy to see him return.
