D&D 5E Mike Mearls is back on the D&D RPG Team

Three weeks ago, WotC's Jeremy Crawford told us that Mike Mearls was no longer working on the tabletop RPG, and hadn't since some time in 2019. Today, the (newish) D&D head Ray Winninger said on the company's Twitch livestream that Mearls is now back full-time on the tabletop game.

Mike Mearls is back full time on the RPG again. He was splitting his time working on some computer game stuff for us, but he’s back.

He still doesn't appear to be back on social media since his final tweet back in 2019.

Welcome back, Mearls. You've been missed.

Back from Belgium, done with Larien, I suppose.

Do we know what she is up to, specifically?

This is very interesting.

He was out, now he is back in.

I wonder what is driving these moves at WOTC...

Who knows, ask them.

You're a ninja @darjr, you edited that post so fast I didn't even have time to quote it.
