Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

How to Build Monsters for D&D 2024! The revised DMG no longer guides us through fully creating 5E monsters, so let’s build a new process! I walk through three quick approaches and the complete process to create monsters for publication. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXf... #DnD #ttrpg

Folks reverse-engineered an actual magic item progression in the #dnd5e rules, but the 2024 #dnd rules give us a new one that’s much more generous. #2024dnd #ttrpg #dmadvice

I love the concept of Pointy Hat's ( @antodemico.bsky.social ) #dnd Battlefield Actions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg9B.... Great examples in the Google Doc he links to in the video description that can also be readily adapted to most other #ttrpg s.

@dndbeyond.com Is there any way to ask "sage advice" type questions the way we used to by sending tweets to Jeremy? Does customer service still do that and reach the design team?

@dndbeyond.bsky.social Hi, I noticed some monsters were changed yesterday, but the changelog pulls them into the earlier update instead of one for yesterday. Could you keep them separate so we can know when things change? Also, could there be an actual errata document for the physical books? Thanks!
