Greg Tito, formerly the communications manager in charge of overseeing messaging for the Dungeons & Dragons brand, is departing Wizards of the Coast for a career in the public sector. Tito announced that he would be joining the Washington secretary of state's office starting this week, ending an over 9-year stint at Wizards. Tito will be the Deputy Director of External Affairs for the Washington secretary of state's office.
In addition to his typical communications responsibilities, Tito was also a driving force for establishing a Dungeons & Dragons community that received official support for Wizards during the early years of 5th Edition. Tito helped spearhead a thriving Twitch channel that featured a mix of Actual Play shows and in-house D&D programming that previewed upcoming projects, showcased various community events, and provided insight into the actual design work of Dungeons & Dragons. Tito was also one of the driving forces behind the Stream of Many Eyes and subsequent D&D Live events, which served to highlight upcoming D&D campaign books and spotlight a community of Actual Play shows and celebrities who were passionate about Dungeons & Dragons. The D&D Live events largely wound down during the pandemic, although Wizards resurrected the D&D Live branding for a celebrity-studded live play event at Gen Con this year.
Tito was also the co-host of Dragon Talk, the official Dungeons & Dragons podcast that frequently featured guests from throughout the D&D community. Notably, Tito's new boss, Steve Hobbs, is also a noted D&D fan and appeared on an episode of Dragon Talk back in 2019. Dragon Talk went on hiatus in July 2023.
