A fresh leadership and new core rulebooks mark a rejuvenation for the enduringly popular tabletop game, Dungeons & Dragons. Last week at Gen Con, Wizards of the Coast honored Dungeons & Dragons’ 50th anniversary with various events, such as the launch of its new Player’s Handbook, a high-profile D&D Live event, and an extensive schedule of activities. Over the weekend, there was much commemoration of the game’s rich history and current status, but also hints about what lies ahead in the shape of Project Sigil – an under-construction VTT app intended to introduce a digital element to the game. During Gen Con, ComicBook spoke with Jess Lanzillo, Vice President of Franchise and Product for Dungeons & Dragons, regarding the potential future of the game, as well as whether they will maintain the traditional analog experience amidst the growing influence of digital gaming in Hasbro’s portfolio.
