Dungeons & Dragons Has a New Home Webpage

Dungeons & Dragons has a brand new landing site. You can check out the redesigned homepage for Dungeons & Dragons here, which contains starting points for building your own character, finding organized play at stores, and checking out various D&D media, such as games and movies. We'll add that currently the video game and live-action sections of the webpage are a bit short on content right now, but there are plans to expand D&D in both formats in the nearish future.

This appears to be a shift away from using D&D Beyond as the homepage for the game. D&D previously had a separate homepage that served as the announcement page for various initiatives, news, and more, but they eventually merged the website in favor of making D&D Beyond their sole portal for D&D content. The reasoning behind that move was that D&D Beyond got substantially more traffic than the D&D webpage, but it appears that the powers that be at Wizards of the Coast (and we'll note that there has been some large shifts in terms of who's in charge at D&D recently) has changed their mind.

Books --> A list of covers representing editions or milestones. Then you scroll looking for the rest of the books and suddenly you are in "movies / games". The content here is pretty thin. Basically a single page broschure site unless I missed something. While I think they needed another homepage than dnd beyond, this is not really enough for even a n00b to connect with.

I don't see links to the other movies

There are others!?

This feels like they just had the domain and needed something new for it, so they made an ad that pushes to D&D Beyond.

That dwarf seems wide open. Just one bite and he probably couldn't even bring his arms down.

Look, you guys are being really harsh. I think the AI did a fantastic job on the new site.

Whenever I worry about things changing and the world becoming uncertain . . .

I like to visit the D&D fan community to watch all the "clever" negativity tearing things down. Some things remain constant and eternal . . .

Good lord, the new website is fine.

Fandom sucks.

Fandom sucks.

Sometimes. Yeah.

But I'm here, because there is a lot of good, positive discourse going on too. A lot of us are excited about the new books and new direction D&D has taken recently.

It's okay, if as a fan, you don't like some of the new, some of the change, but . . . a lot of the negativity is so . . . seemingly manufactured . . . and definitely toxic.

I found the layout to be like the irritating layout I find at car manufacturer websites. It's very difficult to find anything useful and there's a lot of scrolling up and down.
