What is One D&D? After 8 years, D&D shakes things up
It's a new dawn, it's a new day and it's certainly a new life for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). After eight years of playing the 5th Edition (or 5e, as it's colloquially known), Wizards is finally shaking things up under their new One D&D initiative, announced at Wizards Presents 2022. So what is One D&D? Well, unlike previous revision cycles, Wizards will not be introducing a new edition. As lead designer Chris Perkins put it: "We did a smart thing with 5th Edition by listening to the fans and what came out of that process was a system that is stable, that is well-loved, that incorporates the best elements of earlier editions. "Now that we have that, we are no longer in the position where we think of D&D as an edition. It's just D&D." Under this new philosophy, the direction of D&D (as revealed by Wizards) is not about taking things away from players or changing what they love about the game. It's about giving players more options and choices … [Read more...] about What is One D&D? After 8 years, D&D shakes things up
