Justice Ramin Arman Promoted to Game Design Director of Dungeons & Dragons

Game designer Justice Ramin Arman has been internally promoted to the position of Game Design Director for Dungeons & Dragons. Arman announced the news yesterday over on Linkedin, and later specified what the role entails over on Discord. As Game Design Director, Arman will be responsible for directing the game design department as a whole. Previously, Arman was a Managing Game Director, which was a leadership position but not one placed in charge of the entire D&D department.

Arman has worked for Wizards of the Coast since 2022 and has led several projects, including the most recent Starter Set and Quests From the Infinite Staircase. Prior to that, he worked as a game designer for Beadle and Grimm's.

Several months ago, Wizards of the Coast announced that they were hiring a principal game designer for Dungeons & Dragons, seemingly to replace Jeremy Crawford (who left Wizards earlier this year), so it appears that Arman is stepping into that role at least in some fashion.

In a statement provided to EN World, a Wizards representative noted that they are thrilled to see Justice continue his great work with D&D.

FWIW, the Barnes & Noble I visited over the break was sold out. I think it's doing really well. It's a great product!

Might be sold out at Amazon too. Same with the Stranger Things box set. Only third party seller links available.

Thx for confirming in D&D what is the same problem in every online forum: Active members massively overestimating their alignment with the general audience & customership.

I started having that thought circa 2002.

Most groups playing 3E I saw weren't doing it like forum theorycrafters assumed. They were casuals.

Our group was the odd one out. And we didnt go that far down the forums assumptions.
