D&D General WotC’s newly announced “D&D Icons” line wins an award before making anything

The D&D Icons line was announced a few days ago at Gen Con. It has already won an award.

The award was Gaming Trend Best of Gen Con 2026. Gaming Trend is a gaming news website, which presents a 'Best of Gen Con' award each year.

As yet, nobody knows what the D&D Icons line actually is. Dragonlance’s Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman were introduced briefly on stage by actor Joe Manganiello, along with R.A. Salvatore, creator of Drizzt Do’Urden. No products were announced, however.

[Edit--one product was announced during the keynote at Gen Con: Greyhawk: Crown of the Witch Queen, although it is unclear whether this is part of the Icons line. Thanks to Mistwell for the reminder!]

Congratulations to the winners of this award. I guess. Well done!

When we say "no politics" we don't mean "please post sarcastic pictures of American presidents you don't like". In case that wasn't obvious, we meant the exact opposite of that. You won't be posting in this thread again.

They did announce a Greyhawk product, it is the first product officially announced as part of this line of products, I quoted them saying that in the other thread on this topic, and yet here this false rumor is again that no products have been announced.

I think it's award was Gaming Trend. The Icon's label is trending and that's what the thing they won on.

You're correct. That adventure was, indeed, announced. I will amend the post accordingly!
