One of D&D’s most iconic villains is returning in 2024 with Vecna: Eve of Ruin. But just who is Vecna?
If you watched the last D&D Direct all the way to the very end, you would have seen a tantalizing hint in amongst the upcoming books for 2023 and 2024 -- Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins couldn't help but mention the return of Vecna, one of the D&D franchise's most iconic villains.
All of the books coming to D&D in 2024 (and beyond)

Why do (or don’t) you play tabletop RPGs?
One of the reasons I can't quit tabletop role-playing games, even with all the video games I play, is because I can't get past the human factor that occurs in said tabletop games.
What mechanic or gameplay element makes a game less attractive to you?
I have played a mountain of video games, especially role playing games like the Baldur's Gate series -- the old-school, isometric style of gameplay where the map is static and combat is turn based.
What do you wish your favorite games stole from each other?
I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 and Diablo 4 and, man, if you'd told me around 25 years ago that the two biggest games of 2023 would be a Baldur's Gate game and a Diablo game, I probably would have actually believe you -- which isn't something that could be said of most series.
