WotC D&D Celebration Online Convention Schedule Released

So, the three big stand outs for me from the following:

  • Principal game designers Jeremy Crawford & Chris Perkins at 10 AM on Friday will preview the new books.
  • at 4 PM on Sunday Liz Schuh (Director of Product Management) & Ray Winninger (Executive Producer) will discuss the future of the Dungeons & Dragons Studio.
  • Sunday at 1 PM, Daniel Mean and the Asians Represent crew will do a panel on doing Asian material in D&D: kind of a big thing, since he came at Wizards pretty hard in Social Media. It seems WotC listened.

10:00 AM: Inclusive Dungeon Design for the Intrepid Adventurer
Whether you are an Apprentice Abjurer building your first tower or a Veteran Vampire Lord constructing yet another catacomb, dungeon design can seem daunting. In under an hour, Jennifer Kretchmer (D&D Beyond’s Silver and Steel), Makenzie De Armas (MCDM’s Kingdoms and Warfare), Alicia Marie (DC FanDome), Elsa Sjunneson (The Fate Accessibility Toolkit), and Sara Thompson (The Combat Wheelchair) will help you navigate the pitfalls—both the figurative and trap varieties—while creating a playable dungeon with an emphasis on accessible design. BYOB (Bring Your Own Beholder.)

Moderator: Jennifer Kretchmer
Panelists: Makenzie De Armas, Alicia Marie, Elsa Sjunneson, Sara Thompson

1:00 PM: Weaving Asian Stories
Asian themes in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons are usually characterized by two words: "exotic" and "mysterious". How do you go beyond these terms? How do you break free of harmful Asian stereotypes at your gaming table? The Asians Represent podcast and friends will discuss how to more positively navigate Asian cultures in D&D game design, narrative representation, and ethical game play.

Moderator: Daniel Kwan
Panelists: Ahmed Aljabry, Steve Huynh, Ammar Ijaz, Pamela Punzalan

4:00 PM: Inside the D&D Studio
Where does Dungeons & Dragons go from here? How does the D&D team decide what products to make and what settings to visit, in order to further the game? Moderator Elle Osili-Wood sits down with Director of Product Management Liz Schuh and Executive Producer Ray Winninger for a behind-the-scenes discussion about the continuing creation and stewardship of Dungeons & Dragons.

Moderator: Elle Osili-Wood
Panelists: Liz Schuh, Ray Winninger

You might want to adjust the formatting of the post - it makes it look like all the people on the Weaving Asian Stories panel are white people, instead of it being Daniel Kwan as the moderator with the other 4 panelists. Maybe adding a couple of lines and maybe a horizontal rule between each panel for legibility.
