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!

30 minutes seems pretty short. If it's just three things (Spelljammer book, video game, movie) I guess 10 minutes apiece is ok, but it's definitely a lot shorter than previous D&D Live events.

Yeah, this isn't going to be like D&D Live with panels and au h. But if it is handled efficiently, like a Nintendo Direct, they can get a lot of info out there in a digestible form.

"Direct" means they will get straight to the point, without the usual inane waffle (I wish!)

So, the question is: Are these the directors attached to the movie we know about or is this another D&D movie project?

Nope. It’s them. So it’s likely a title reveal and info about the movie.

Nintendo has also been doing livestreamed announcements called Nintendo Directs for a while now.

Spelljammer Confirmed!

Plush Boo is a D&D product I can get behind.

And, if you happen to need a giant space hamster for your Spelljammer games, plush boo seems to be to scale!

Usually means "direct to customer" instead of a press conference in a convention hall (because Nintendo figured out early that the Internet had made that modle obsolete, and replaced E3 convention meetings with direct to consumer videos).

At the very least, yes.
