As a quick catch up, Wizards of the Coast have announced a new edition of Dungeons & Dragons for 2024.
They’ve not said whether these are D&D 5.5 or D&D 6 but have said they will be compatible with D&D 5.0. I’m calling them the 50th-anniversary D&D, or D&D 50e.
There are also new settings, Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse, which is part of Rules Expansion Gift Set and potential returns to classic settings.
The Head of Dungeons & Dragons, Ray Winninger, has been on Twitter attempting to reduce confusion around the complex timeline with potentially moving parts.
