With the recent news of Spelljammer and Dragonlance both returning to D&D 5e, and our previous ruminations on both of these systems making an appearance in the modern game, it's time to muse about settings we could see for the latest iteration of Dungeons and Dragons.

Lost amidst the excitement for the rebirth of the Dragonlance and Spelljammer settings for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons was the return of another artifact from D&D's past -- the Monstrous Compendium.

Multiclassing in Dungeons and Dragons 5e can be rewarding, but it can also end up cheating you out of abilities you'd otherwise get -- it mixes together aspects of various classes and does so in a way unique to this edition of the game.

Coyote & Crow is a science fantasy TTRPG that was overwhelmingly successful on Kickstarter last year, nominated for a Nebula award for Game Writing, and is now appearing on the shelves of your local gaming store.

We've already seen the world of Krynn, the home of the Dragonlance setting, in an Unearthed Arcana playtest document for Dungeons and Dragons 5e.

Spelljammer is returning to D&D 5th Edition this August, with a three-book slipcase collection that allows you to run a complete campaign set in the Astral Sea, or Wildspace as they seem to be calling it.

The recent D&D Direct Announcement Showcase showed us all the stuff coming down the pipeline for Dungeons and Dragons, the most exciting of which may be two new upcoming Dragonlance tie-ins.

Wizards of the Coast announced today that it has purchased digital toolset D&D Beyond, inspiring many people to DM me and ask "didn't they already own this?" And heck, it's not like they weren't aware that people thought this, because D&D Beyond's own announcement says the site is "formally joining Wizards of the Coast" rather than framing it as a surprise acquisition: Dungeons & Dragons and D&D Beyond have always felt like a part of the same family.

This weekend's Blizzard Watch D&D game is going to be a fun time as we dive into session four of our Into The Weirs game.
