World of Warcraft is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special event that's now live and will last until January 6, 2025.

It's no secret that sometimes when trying to convince people to give a tabletop RPG other than Dungeons & Dragons a try, one of the protests that often crops up is, "it's too hard to learn new games!" To those of us already acquainted with other games, this seems ridiculous, but it's worth examining: after all, if you've only learned the rules to one game, and that game is wildly complex from the get-go, what evidence do you have that every game isn't like that?

In this episode, we are joined by Phil “The goblin with the dumb name that you all love” Ulrich as we go in-depth on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the new Player’s Handbook.

At GenCon 2024, three of tabletop gaming's most prestigious awards -- the ENNIES -- were swept not by a certain toy conglomerate who wants $180 for a half-edition revision bump, but by a tabletop game that escaped many gamers' notice until its win: Shadowdark.

Though we're still waiting for the updated 2024 D&D Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual (actually coming out in 2025), Wizards of the Coast just announced a new slate of products for next year.

Last year, Wizards of the Coast took an axe to their reputation by announcing changes to the Open Gaming License, but those changes were so universally hated that they had to be quickly reverted.

In this episode, we discuss the updated D&D rulebooks rolling out soon, the impact of the recent massive layoffs at Wizards of the Coast on both their own products and the larger industry, the role of AI in game development, and the importance of community trust for TTRPG companies to be successful.

Funnily enough, the final book in the set of three updates to 2024 Dungeons & Dragons isn't coming out until 2025.
