Naw. Their hirings are good for D&D and it means WotC is giving the brand the resources it needs.

With some fresh designers maybe we could get a whole new setting?

A wonderful and kind lady. She will be missed.

I know the release schedule is open right now but I'm assuming some of what the new hires are working on might not be seen until 2027 or later. I think most of us feel comfortable that we are getting Dark Sun this year.

I really hope Hasbro/WotC gives them the same kind of freedom the original 5E team had. Just leave them alone and let them cook. The quality of their recent products is phenomenal and I am really looking forward to Dark Sun.

They gave me my first freelance gig for En5ider and were great to work with. I wish them nothing but the best.

I can only imagine the stress of surviving at WotC. I figure by next Friday they will be shedding staff for the holiday season yet again. We should expect WotC to have the best people running games, and we might, but they have to be experiencing brain drain. I was dubious of all of the releases...

Thanks!

"Arman announced the news yesterday over on Linkedin, and later specified what the role entails over on Discord." Does D&D have a Discord?

Dark Conspiracy: the Hidden War.

Great column and I hope you enjoy the break.

Why not adapt Salvatore's work? Drow can easily be purple to blue to avoid blackface.

Here is my wishlist of 2026 products for DnD: A second Forgotten Realms Adventure Book covering other areas of the world. A Dark Sun Players & a DM/Adventure book Ala Forgotten Realms A new Setting introduced via Adventure/Sourcebook/Gazetter that would span levels 1 to 20 over 4-5 books.

It's a challenging business, and even well-run companies can fail due to numerous external factors and employee burnout. We had a road construction project that, for nearly a year, intermittently blocked traffic to our parking lot, resulting in a 40% decrease in business.

That is so awesome. November 1 is the store's 44th anniversary and my 26th.
