Playing D&amp;D is how we started to fuse our\u00a0individual storytelling instincts\u00a0into the incredible blade of our partnership; if a table wants to tell imaginative, emotional stories, then it needs to work off of a core of collaboration, creativity and trust. It&#8217;s one of the reasons that we think D&amp;D is one of the greatest games ever made.\u00a0Yes, the mechanics and game design are tip-top &#8211; yes, its magic system is incredible and we will\u00a0be using it to its ABSOLUTE FULLEST &#8211; but MOST IMPORTANTLY&#8230;D&amp;D\u00a0is a game that can never be &#8220;won&#8221;, but which can make you a better person through playing. Of course, player catharsis only comes from character pain&#8230;and sadly for our characters, we&#8217;re about to end the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"97mrc\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-product\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"richtext-image left \" src=\"https:\/\/images.darkhorse.com\/covers\/600\/30\/3019629.jpg\" alt=\"Cover for Dungeons &amp; Dragons #1 (ongoing) (Variant CVR C) (Foil) (Antonino Jose Luis)\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block-text\">\n<p data-block-key=\"3pxwo\">Lanzing added, &#8220;<i>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/i>\u00a0is a distillation of everything we love about story &#8211; a collision of arcane prophesy, ever-growing characters, and wild spectacle, wrapped in a mystery that reaches to the very beginnings of D&amp;D itself. Ibraim, Esad, and our entire artistic team are laboring to push this story as hard as we possibly can &#8211; this is the new ongoing, flagship D&amp;D story and every issue, we\u2019re going to fulfill that promise.
