MINECRAFT D&D! Virtual Table Top PLAYTEST! – D&D Direct 2023 Full Breakdown!

A Minecraft crossover and more revealed in today’s DND direct it’s all very collaborative Wizards of the Coast has revealed a ton of Dungeons and Dragons franchise news today during a new DND direct which is basically like one of those Nintendo Direct videos but all

About d d there was a ton of news and announcements that will be breaking down over the next few days but here’s a brief sort of recap to talk about some of the biggest announcements along with some of our thoughts so Wizards kick things off with the announcement that

Minecraft will be getting a story driven d DLC pack this pack contains a approximately 10 hour long story that gives players the chance to create a character using one of four character classes and then they get sucked into the Forgotten Realms to solve a mystery involving a corrupted gold dragon

Players will be able to fight classic d d monsters like beholders and mind flares and displacer beasts and visit a number of classic Forgotten Realms locales like icewind Dale and candle keep Minecraft isn’t exactly my thing but the DLC could be the Gateway for a whole new generation of players to discover the

Forgotten Realms for the first time sure you could read a dritz novel hey they announced one of those two during the d d direct or you could explore a bunch of block castles while battling blocky monsters and using blocky weapons basically my kid’s going to love this

And I guess that’s what the most important thing here is oh and we’re going to be getting some stat locks for a bunch of Minecraft monsters via a new monstrous compendium that will be released for free on d d beyond the creepers apparently have some kind of

New mechanic to them to keep them similar to how they’re used in Minecraft so expect a breakdown of those stat blocks pretty soon when they come out so next up Dungeons and Dragons also revealed a brand new look at their virtual tabletop which is currently in its closed Alpha mode now admittedly the

System looks pretty nice and it syncs up with DND Beyond so that you can link up characters with your DND Beyond account into the game according to the video there will be some sort of Community Marketplace of some kind and we also saw that DMS can selectively ignore rules

When convenient to the story so if a player needs to move 31 feet in a turn and it’s just a few inches short you’ll have the ability to override the system easily now of course a marketing video is going to make the vtt look nice but a

Play test will launch later this year so you can check out the system for yourself the final bit of big news is about the future of Dungeons and Dragons or at least the next few d d campaigns Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford both made appearances in the DND direct to

Announce the next well phase of d d story content which will seemingly kick off the summer with fandover and below the shattered Obelisk that’s right the obelisks from all those older 5e Adventures are back we also got some teases for the next two major d d campaigns the 2024 Adventure will

Involve vechna and World hopping between various campaign settings and what’s meant to be a celebration of Dungeons and Dragons 50th Anniversary the red wizards of Faye who are you know the baddies of the d d movie will be the focus of the 2025 Adventure campaign alsovenger from the d t cartoon will

Make an appearance in a d d Adventure in The Not So distance future also the league of malevolence which is the group of d d characters and feature like War Duke and kellik that were originally toys and then made appearances in the D D cartoon and then appeared in the wild

Beyond The Witch light they will also appear in more d d Adventures as recurring villains who are seeking power from across the Multiverse so there was a couple other little bit tirelessly working towards making a live-action version of dragon Lance in reality and that his d edimentary would be released

Four uh basically we’ve got a lot of fodder for videos for weeks to come so expect a lot more breakdowns in the future of course the d d direct was basically a 30 minute commercial for Dungeons and Dragons and its purpose was to get us excited about the d d brand to

That point it was a little disappointing to see that only five minutes of the video was about the actual Dungeons and Dragons game or that the community that makes d d come alive it was barely mentioned in the video it’s it’s kind of another sign about how Hasbro sees

Dungeons and Dragons now it’s a big money maker that they can license to sell video games and coffee and potato chips that’s a big departure from the actual pen and paper game that we know and love but then again D D’s history is filled with conflict between the corporate and the

Community I mean that goes all the way back to TSR so none of this is exactly new anyways we will do some deep Dives in the weeks ahead but let us know what you liked about the DND direct and what you didn’t like in the comment section and
