Neverwinter gets even bigger: now it’s off to the dark city of Menzoberranzan
Neverwinter has a new expansion simply called Menzoberranzan! This is inspired by the book Legend of Drizzt written by RA Salvatore. Menzoberranzan is available now.
D&D Virtual Tabletop Update
Of course, the dice should not be missing in a tabletop game.
There were new scenes from the virtual tabletop game that is currently being worked on. It is supposed to be released on several platforms, there is no release date yet, but they hope that we will this year

Secret Lair Drop
Would Edgin also call himself a legendary creature?
While Honor Among Thieves is currently in theaters, Wizards of the Coast has a new Secret Lair Drop. It includes six new cards, all based on the characters in the film – so you’ll find snazzy artwork from Edgin, Forge, Holga, Simon, Doric, and Xenk. It’s quite possible that these will become extremely popular – the film is extremely well received.
Hasbro Figures
But it doesn’t stop there with Honor Among Thieves. Hasbro announced a long time ago that it would produce small figurines for the characters – but now we know a little more: Among other things, Xanathar, an owl bear and the Displacer Beast are included. More information should come at the Hasbro Pulse Fanstream on March 29th.
Wizkids Replica
The owl bear somehow manages to be scary and cute at the same time.
Anyone who likes to put a snarling chest or a baby owl bear in their room can look forward to the new replica from Wizkids.
50 years of Dungeons & Dragons
In 2024 dungeons and dragons will be half a century old. To celebrate this properly, a documentary about the inspiration and evolution of D&D will be released.
what’s to come
Dungeons & Dragons fans will not be short of reading material this year.
Four books are due out this year. You can see what they are and when they should appear in the picture above. What is supposed to happen after 2023 is probably the return of Vecna - but we hardly know anything more specific.
What do you think of this year’s D&D Direct? Are you already excited about the Minecraft DLC or are you more interested in the Neverwinter expansion? Or is it the replica of the cute owl bear? Write it to us in the comments!
