Wizards Of The Coast

During a September 10 Goldman-Sachs conference, where one can undoubtedly find serious players of interactive tabletop roleplaying games, Hasbro President Chris Cocks revealed AI is actively being used to develop games at the company, including Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons: "Inside of development, we've already been using AI...It's mostly machine-learning-based AI or proprietary AI as opposed to a ChatGPT approach.

John Hight, the former Blizzard Senior Vice President, has taken on the role of President of Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming.

Roll20, the indepedent virtual tabletop (VTT) toolset company, has formally announced their acquisition of Demiplane.

Wizards of the Coast is currently searching for a Principal AI Engineer that will build processes focused on simulation, asset creation, and AI generations.

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.

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, and in anticipation of the event Wizards of the Coast has been updating the Open Gaming License (OGL) that allows third parties to publish D&D-compatible content...

The Dungeons and Dragons community has been angrily swarming like Wizards of the Coast kicked an ant hill as a change to the existing Open Game License was leaked.

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.

Wizards of the Coast announced a new Dungeons and Dragons adventure book, Journeys Through The Radiant Citadel, a collection of 14 brand new adventures that can be played together as one campaign, injected into an existing campaign, or even included in a homebrew to be a part of a created world.

One of the fun things about Dungeons and Dragons is its plethora of amazingly weird cities that exist to foster adventures across the planes.
