Dragons & Treasures: A Young Adventurer's Guide Review
Dragons & Treasures: A Young Adventurer's Guide is the latest officially licensed D&D book by Jim Zub, with Stacy King and Andrew Wheeler. The series, which has five prior books, makes D&D accessible for a younger audience. They don't list mechanics for how to play or make a character. Instead the series focuses on lore and information that bring the setting to life and help youngsters decide...

Critical Role: The Mighty Nein – The Nine Eyes of Lucien Review
Critical Role: The Mighty Nein – The Nine Eyes of Lucien walks a very tricky line. The prior Critical Role novel, Vox Machina – Kith & Kin was easy because it entirely took place before Vox Machina formed so newcomers to Critical Role and fans of Critical Role: Vox Machina were on equal ground.

Krynn Returns: A Preview of Dragonlance
WotC is experimenting as it brings the world of Krynn and the classic Dragonlance setting to 5th Edition. Those experiments take a few different forms.

Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel Review Round-Up: What The Critics Said
I talked about why this was the D&D adventure/setting book I had been wanting for a long time. But did the critics think it was delightful, dreary, or something in between? Let's take a look.

D&D Campaign Case: Terrain Review
While D&D 5E can easily be played theater of the mind style, playing with minis is very popular, so WotC's latest release, the D&D Campaign Case: Terrain provides an alternative to a vinyl battle map. It can be used with the D&D Campaign Case: Creatures or with your own minis.
'One D&D' Takes 5E to New & Digital Places
The biggest news coming out of today's Wizards Presents is the announcement of One D&D, which includes the development of a new digital playspace, along with more information on the evolution of D&D. Throughout 5th Edition the D&D team has talked about “the three pillars of D&D” being combat, role-play, and exploration. The One D&D initiative is borrowing that three pillar structure, only...
5 New D&D Books Coming in 2023 -- Including Planescape!
At today's Wizards Presents event, hosts Jimmy Wong, Ginny Di, and Sydnee Goodman announced the 2023 line-up of D&D books, which featured something old, something new, and an expansion of a fan favorite. The first of the five books, Keys from the Golden Vault, will arrive in winter 2023. At Tuesday's press preview, Chris Perkins, Game Design Architect for D&D, described it as “Ocean’s...
Dragonlance Brings New Options to D&D
As expected, Wizards Presents had Dragonlance announcements, starting with a release date – December 6, 2022 – and players will have several choices as to which Dragonlance product they buy. Like other adventures, Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, will have two editions: a mass market edition with a cover by Cynthia Sheppard, and an alternative cover edition featuring Lord Soth, only...

Spelljammer: Adventures in Space Review
The new Spelljammer: Adventures in Space is the latest 5E revival of a beloved old setting, and one that has intrigued new D&D fans because it promises swashbuckling fantasy adventures in space. WotC also decided to do something a bit different by releasing it as a three-book slipcase set with a DM screen. Yet Spelljammer presents some unique challenges that other revivals haven't faced...

D&D Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Review
I love almost anything that lowers the bar to entry for new players and grows the base of RPG players. It's one of my passions. Yet I have mixed feelings about this set.

Dragonlance: Dragons of Deceit Review
Dragonlance is back, and not just with the RPG adventure book Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen (I expect a release date announcement on August 18). Dragonlance: Dragons of Deceit is a new novel by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman and the start of the Dragonlance Destinies trilogy.

An In-Depth Review of Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel
Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel is the latest D&D adventure anthology and like Candlekeep Mysteries, it's overflowing with ideas and inspiration.

D&D Campaign Case: Creatures Review
The D&D Campaign Case: Creatures is out, and it's better than I expected. This case provides an alternative to minis for anyone who uses a grid or battle map when they run combat. Minis are great but not everyone has the space to store, let alone the time to paint 3D minis.

Slaying the Dragon: The Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons Review
Slaying the Dragon: The Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons by Ben Riggs focuses on the creation, rise, and downfall of TSR. It's a compelling, page-turner instead of the boring business book it could have been. It's also going to make some people angry.

D&D Rules Expansion Set Round-Up – What the Critics Say
Since we began these critical roundups, some review outlets have been consistent. While these roundups don't feature the same outlets every time, certain ones have reviewed every official D&D release just like I do. Or at least they did until recently.

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say
Considering the popularity of Critical Role, I was surprised to find that several publications did not review Call of the Netherdeep, the first Critical Role adventure released for Dungeons & Dragons. In my in-depth review, I praised the adventure for its juicy ideas and Rivals mechanic but also pointed out some possible challenges in running it.
