The first Wizards Presents from Wizards Of The Coast has come and gone. And they had a lot of D&D announcements that you can see below.
The Digital Future Of D&D
Up first is the announcement of D&D One.
This new service will expand on 5th Edition D&D in a few different ways. One major one is a fully immersive digital tabletop space. One D&D will be launching in 2024.
New Book Announcements
5 brand-new books for next year were announced, and they are all different and interesting.
One of the exciting releases is going to be The Book Of Many Things. This seems like it will expand on D&D’s The Deck Of Many Things into a full sourcebook. And a full Phanelver campaign, expanding on the digital mini-campaign from 2017 into a full-fledged campaign book is going to be amazing.
