The #dnd essentials kit is out! @WhittersRichard and I did a pile of b/w sketches for the included rules. I'll be posting some that are in the book and some that we ran out of room for as well. Here is a couple to get started. #WOTCstaff pic.twitter.com/PmGMqGiRLN

Listen to @JeremyECrawford and @cypheroftyr talk about how vital diversity and inclusion are for Dungeons & Dragons in this interview with tanja for you dean d has evolved

dramatically over the since its

evolution I mean since it was even

created what do you like most about the

change like especially in 5th edition so

funny story Greg Tito had me on dragon

talk and we were talking about he was

like Oh have you seen the new books I’d

actually fallen off with 3/5 it’s in a

long-running campaign that ended I kind

of fell off never gotten to next edition

and seeing the iconic human be a black

woman I was like take all my money I’m

coming back to D&D and I was like I need

friends to play with but then I found

friends play was and it was just

something that it’s always been a

creative outlet for me it’s always been

a way for me to write to create and you

know going from sitting in a game store

or someone’s basements to a DM that one

would want to read 50 page PDFs for

every session – I’ve got everything and

I’ve got characters that finally look

like me that are in the books and I get

to play with people that are not just my

friends but we’re adventurers and gets

all these great stories together you

know I’m very lucky that way but you

know now that everything’s a ball we can

play online cuz when I started playing

you couldn’t play online you had to find

a table with friends it’s has just

become much more of a storytelling place

but also place at least I don’t wants to

collaborate too much but hang out with

friends while we while we weave a story

how important was you when you were

jumping into fourth edition to have more

inclusion

like because that inclusion is not only

race it’s it’s inclusion for people of

different genders of different

sexualities and like I feel like fifth

edition D&D is like the most welcoming

of them all and I’ve ever experienced

actually for me it was vital

I mean if for no other reason that

I mean selfishly I wanted to be able to

see LGBT people like myself in the game

but also I wanted everyone else who felt

like they had been overlooked in the

past to be able to spot a glimmer of

themselves in our books I mean that’s

that’s one of the reasons why it’s not

just a kind of general thing like we are

it’s hard and fast that when we show

heroes we want to make sure it’s at

least a 50/50 split of male presenting

and female presenting heroes like we

take this very seriously book after book

after book because we not only want

people to have that experience of hey

there’s a hero kind of I can imagine

like myself but we also want to

encourage people to be more creative

about the kinds of characters they play

and realize there’s this amazing array

of personalities and many other

characteristics you can engage in in a

role-playing game and and wanted to

essentially open up that vast realm of

possibility for people yeah it’s

fantastic now I I love fifth edition and

I think I have so many more friends now

that are excited about Dungeons &

Dragons because of the work that you’ve

done thank you so much Jeremy and Tanya

for doing the interview from D&D live I

know you have a whole bunch of other

interviews to get to you and I’ll talk

to you later

you
