WotC D&D Direct--Learn About Upcoming D&D On April 21st!

D&D Direct is a 30-minute video which WotC will be releasing on April 21st at 9am Pacific Time (5pm BST, if I have my time zones correct). They'll be using it to reveal stuff about upcoming D&D projects (including video games and entertainment). The video will be presented by Anna Prosser and B. Dave Walters.

This is being billed in an emailed announcement entitled "Learn Everything That’s Happening This Year for Dungeons & Dragons" as the "first ever D&D Direct", so presumably there are more planned.

​

The D&D Team at Wizards of the Coast is excited to debut D&D Direct, a jam-packed thirty-minute video presentation on April 21 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.

Tune in to see exclusive reveals from the world's greatest roleplaying game, including video games, entertainment, and more, guided by hosts Anna Prosser and B. Dave Walters.

D&D Direct will be broadcast on the D&D YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/DNDWizards) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dnd) channels.

To find out more on D&D Direct go to dnd.wizards.com and follow the official D&D social media accounts for more updates.

See you on April 21 at 9:00 AM PT for the first-ever D&D Direct!

Hmm. A "Go for the Eyes, Boo!" T-shirt. A giff funko pop. And a mysterious scroll. What could it mean? Dark Sun confirmed.

I…. Uh….

They really haven't even been trying to hide it for a while. They are just having fun with it.

Only because it seems to be perennially 50% off or so on Amazon - I don't have the sales numbers.

Yeah, like @overgeeked said, everything is always 50% off on Amazon, basically.

I…. Uh….

You disagree? Okay. Mystara confirmed!

I had to look this one up.

It appears that both Hasbro and Mattel released Grogu plush toys.

Mattel Version 1

Mattel Version 2

Hasbro Version

Did not know that until now. Seems Disney really wanted to cash in on "The Child"

You learn something every day.

Cheers

Edit: Spelling is hard.

Yep Mattel has several Star Wats products on the shelves. We found some Ewok plushies last night from Mattel.

I'm honestly trying to recall - have they done this amount of build-up in the past for anything other than the big summer adventures?

Yeah, Star Wars toys are produced by multiple companies. That's why Mattel and Hasbro want to make their own Marvel/Star Wars toyetic multimedia franchises.

Pretty normal for their D&D Live Events, they really have gone over the tip for those in the past.

It is worth noting that the D&D Social Media and marketing teams have been growing. And with the movie and TV properties coming up, this may be the new normal.

I didn't disagree.
