Martial or caster, chaotic or lawful, every D&D player will want in on this year’s 50th-anniversary celebrations!
Dungeons & Dragons is the tabletop roleplaying that got its start all the way back in 1974. Since then, it’s soared to new heights with a whole pile of adventure books, editions, novels, and even a feature film. There’s never been a better time to love the world of roleplay, because Wizards of the Coast is making sure fans of its brand have plenty to look forward to this anniversary year.

An excerpt from the upcoming Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth will be available to players at game stores, libraries, conventions, video chat rooms, and more — but that isn’t all that’s in store for fans!
