Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos is the latest D&D 5E book based on a Magic the Gathering set. That's led a lot of people to refer to it as Harry Potter meets D&D, but that's not accurate for reasons I will explain below. EDITOR’S NOTE: Wizards of the Coast has raised the bar when it comes...

The delayed release of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons made the roll out of reviews a bit different than usual. Some reviews came out on the original release timetable because those review copies shipped normally. Others came later due to the shipping issues plaguing so many industries right now...

Need a DM screen? Love running dungeons? Then the D&D Dungeon Master's Screen Dungeon Kit may be for you. DMSDK is both similar to the Dungeon Master's Screen Wilderness Kit and, like it, has components that have also appeared in the D&D Essentials Kit. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I've...

Haven't gotten enough yet of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight? WotC has you covered. The Witchlight Carnival Dice and Miscellany set is an optional add-on to D&D's first official Feywild adventure. The Dice Prominently displayed in the plastic window of the display packaging are the dice...

Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, the latest D&D dragon compendium, breaks with tradition by not being titled Draconomicon. That's likely to avoid confusion with prior four Draconomicons and follow the 5E trend of supplements having a famous in-world author like Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. A...

The reviews for The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, D&D's first official adventure set in the Feywild, are out. Since TWBtW is also the first official adventure designed so that it can be resolved without any combat if desired, making it something new for the game, you might be wondering how other...

In numerous interviews promoting The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, Chris Perkins mentioned that DMs would have guidance on how to create their own Feywild Domains and ruling archfey. What was rarely mentioned was that such material was not in the new hardcover book. Where Are Those Rules...

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight isn't just Wizards of the Coast's latest Dungeons & Dragons adventure. It's the first official, full-length adventure from WotC set in the Feywild. While often mentioned, the counterpart to the Shadowfell has gotten much less attention through the editions...

D&D players have long been called “nerds” so it's not a shock that Wizards of the Coast decided to partner with the Ferrara Candy Company to create original Dungeons & Dragons adventures that you can get for free by uploading receipts that show purchases of NERDS Candy®. The promotion involves...

Previously, Beadle & Grimm's has created luxury adaptations of the full-length D&D adventure books like their sets for Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden and their Legendary Edition of Curse of Strahd. This time Beadle & Grimm's is tackling Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, which is both a...

Now that you've had time to read my review of Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, and the book officially arrived in game stores on May 18, it's time to take a look at what other RPG reviewers thought of this guide to horror...

Strahd had stats in Curse of Strahd. Some of the prior versions of Ravenloft also had stats for the darklords.

That depends upon the domain, and if you're creating a domain it's something you can factor in. Some residents are part of the torture for the darklord -- they can see people living lives that they can't -- and not every citizen in every domain is miserable. Some average people are trapped, too...

The last few D&D books had a lot for DMs. Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft tops them all. Players will get a lot out of it, too, but VRGtR is a feast of useful, imagination-sparking material—and that's not entirely limited to those who like horror. The Demiplane of Dread known as Ravenloft is...

From the start, Beadle & Grimm's has set a high standard for their luxury editions of D&D adventures. With its Legendary Edition of Curse of Strahd, they just exceeded those standards, and I don't say that lightly. To explain why, let's start with the box. No, I don't mean the product box...
