    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    Like what, pray tell...? I saw a big post about Tasha's five year anniversary the other day, but not keeping close tabs.

    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    They announced Vecna and Quests from the Infinite Staircase at Pax in December 2023, along wifh some core book previews. So it has precedent.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Nexus at Demiplane with WotC core books.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Nexus at Demiplane with WotC core books.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Nexus at Demiplane with WotC core books.

    First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

    What are you reading in 2025?

    That first section of Eye of the World is really cozy, hitting a lot of those Hero's Journey tropes in a very in-fashion in the 1980s way. At this point, you haven't really experienced Jordan's main superpower, viewpoint perspective as everything so far is Rand. What the series is most known...
