These keep-inspired instruments are such a delight and full of little nods to the Keep on the Borderlands. With four instruments to choose from and four characters in the starter set, you have everything you need to start a band with your fellow party members! Amazing work. #dnd #WOTCstaff

Teach noticed me! ❤️

Jacko has your back-o. #WOTCstaff

This is my favorite commoner art ever. I love the implication that the bread functions as a club. #WOTCstaff

Hey I got to illustrate chapter 2 of the D&D Dragon Delves book! Written by @justiceraminarman.bsky.social, it was such a perfect thematic and tonal pair that I still can't believe it's real.

Made with ingredients from our garden! The eggplant dip was especially tasty.

Fulfillment is now underway for the Cosmere RPG! We've sent PDFs to all backers, and books started shipping this week. So now seems like a great time to celebrate the awesome team behind this project. This is a LONG thread, but please read (and share!) it anyway, because this team deserves it. 🧵

Recorded my first performance with video for my class yesterday. I got compliments from the teacher! (I look cooler than I sound. 🙂‍↕️)

Spotted a really rad guitar this weekend. The f-hole is shaped like a cactus, and it sparkles like the night sky when you look inside! Made in a one-man shop using sustainability sourced wood from felled urban trees in California. 🎸: Tone Ranger Guitars

I haven't finished it yet, but this is one of the best books I've read in a while. As someone who has struggled deeply with existential dread since the ripe old age of 9, it is also extremely relatable. And morbidly hilarious.

I'm officially on unit 2 of my blues immersion course! We've migrated from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, where many great musicians made names for themselves. Today's playlist features two blues legends, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters.

This is how it felt for me and others as we were coming up in tabletop games. I often thought of my industry peers and mentors as fellow classmates, upperclassmen, or alumni. Just like in school, it's important for us to help each other along and pave the way for future classes to learn and grow.

James and I talked with Polygon about Draw Steel!! www.polygon.com/draw-steel-m...

Another Gen Con in the books! Thank you to everyone who said hello or shared a game, story, laugh, or coffee with me in Indy (or Nashville or San Diego). What a lovely reminder this has all been of how fortunate I am to do what I do every day. Looking forward to the next one...after a Long Rest. 😴

It wouldn't be the D&D area without a secret door. #WOTCstaff #GenCon

So DRAW STEEL is out today, and I wanna thank a bunch of people who made it happen. I gotta start with the folks on my team every day who showed up with incredible passion and dedication @thewillyboo.bsky.social and @djordi.bsky.social. They are HEROES. drawsteel.com

A recent (and impulsive) trip to an unknown barber unfortunately resulted in the demise of my beard, so I no longer resemble my headshots. I now have a lil mustache.

This week, as part of our D&D showcase at Gen Con, we're showing off the new Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands. This is the starter set we all wish we had when we began playing. 🌞 If you're at the convention, come on down to Lucas Oil Stadium and check it out for yourself. #dnd #WOTCstaff

Coolest mocktail ever, courtesy of the wonderful folks at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. It's called Sylgar's Fishbowl! #dnd #WOTCstaff

Hello, Indianapolis! I'm here and ready for Gen Con. Who wants to roll some dice? 🌞

Fantastic Four was...fantastic! Pretty sure I heard Herbie say a bad word.

Heaven. 🎸 Carter Vintage Guitars Nashville, TN

I am sorry to all the followers I just discovered I have on TikTok, where I have never actually posted. I have since Googled "how to use TikTok" and will continue to investigate.

That's a wrap on SDCC for me! This was my first-ever Comic-Con. Thank you, San Diego! I had a blast. Tomorrow I'm headed to Nashville to devour my weight in Southern food and get real yeehaw for a few days before heading up to Gen Con! Hope to see you there. Bring your dice!!!

If you're at SDCC this week, swing by the Hasbro booth (#3213) for a sneak peak at upcoming D&D products! There are also Transformers (trains!!!), action figures, and a host of other goodies on display. #WOTCstaff #dnd

The Hellfire Club’s Dungeons & Dragons campaign never got an ending... until now.

Welcome to Hellfire. 😈 #dnd #WOTCstaff #StrangerThings

This week as part of my blues immersion course, I'm studying Robert Johnson, one of the early Delta blues pioneers. His career spanned just seven months and two recording sessions, but his influence remains nearly 100 years later, most recently inspiring the character of Sammie in Sinners!

We put *a lot* into this starter set, which is coming soon! I can't wait to hear stories from new players and Dungeon Masters who begin their D&D journeys with this set. I hear there's even a dragon or two in it. #dnd #wotcstaff

This week, I start a six-month blues immersion course. 🎸 Because some bends are simply too gnarly to perform on my acoustic guitar, I'm breaking out Les here, who I've had for about 12 years. Ain't he pretty?

Gamehole Con is hosting a POC Industry Dinner, sponsored by Monte Cook Games! Meet creators, find mentorship, and grow our diverse industry. Seating is limited. If you are attending GHC, are a POC, and create TTRPG content of any size–including self-published–apply! Apply by 7/23: bit.ly/ghcpoc25

I might just stay here.

Years ago, Marco and I played in a D&D adventure together online. He stayed up so late to game with us. I remember watching the sunrise behind him on screen! It was so wonderful to finally meet and hug in person halfway across the world. Arrivederci, friends! You are gracious hosts.❤️

Did I mention the ceilings everywhere we go are breathtakingly beautiful? I feel underdressed for this ceiling.

A man at the airport pointed at me and said to his son, "Did you see the musician?" 🥺❤️

Andrew Kolb (@kolbisneat.bsky.social) and I sat down with Cameron Kunzelman to talk about "Baker's Doesn't," one of many great adventures in the upcoming D&D anthology Dragon Delves. The article also features a sneak peak at some sweet (in more ways than one) art illustrated by Andrew. ❤️

Like Superman, I have to imagine that Chris and Jeremy only grow more powerful when exposed to sunlight. In games, a rising tide lifts all ships, and I have no doubt that the dynamic ettin Jerris Crawkins will continue its awesome, two-headed tabletop legacy down in sunny California. 🌞

No kings. ❌👑❌

Last night marked 10 years married to the best DM I know. ❤️

Ever try to conquer an adventure with just a single character? Dragon Delves provides a new character option for a handful of stories that can be played solo, starting with the Level 3 adventure: Baker's Doesn't

Watching one of the Mission Impossible movies with Sam when yet another character peels back their face to reveal it is but a mask—they've secretly been Tom Cruise the entire time. "They can't just keep casting Disguise Self to solve *every* problem!" Sam exclaims. Oh, but they can. And they do.

Today we released our 5.1 to 5.2 SRD Conversion Guide. This guide is a tool to help creators and game designers convert their SRD 5.1 material to reflect the updated ruleset. Click the link below to learn more about the Conversion Guide and to download the PDF. dndbeyond.link/SRD-Conversi...

Congratulations to my friends over at @darringtonpress.bsky.social, @criticalrole.bsky.social, and everyone in the credits of #Daggerheart today! I hope the team takes a moment to bask in this momentous achievement and take a well-earned nap. I can't wait to play! 🐸

Some days we get visitors to the wizard tower. Recently, I encountered a mighty little Dungeon Master—just 12 years old!—who let me know that some of his players didn't know the rules very well. I told him that was perfectly normal...and doesn't necessarily get easier as you get older. 🤪 #WOTCstaff

Jeremy once told me that D&D doesn't belong to us. We are but its stewards, tending the flames until we pass the torch again. Throughout his long tenure at Wizards, Jeremy has taken great care of this game we all love and his fellow stewards, who will miss him dearly! See you soon, friend. ❤️

Doing a little weekend reading. I hear these books have dragons in them! #WOTCstaff #dnd

As of last weekend, I am now moderately faster than I was. 🚲
