At Gen Con 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana, more than 3,000 lucky DUNGEONS & DRAGONS fans got their hands on early copies of the 2024 Player’s Handbook before its wide release on September 17th. Over 10,000 fans played D&D at Gen Con, including the amazing cast of the immersive live D&D game. The game featured Neil Newbon (Astarion) and Samantha Béart (Karlach), reprising their roles from the hit Baldur’s Gate 3, alongside Brennan Lee Mulligan, Anjali Bhimani, and Aabria Iyengar as DM.
“It was so cool being in the audience when Aabria revealed Brennan and Anjali were both playing secret dragons in the D&D Live game,” said Jess Lanzillo, VP of D&D Franchise and Product at Wizards of the Coast. “Gen Con 2024 was such a celebration of the five decades of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS and a testament to the countless imaginations that have been inspired by this special community.”
The climactic encounter in the adventure titled “An Astarion and Karlach Adventure: Love is a Legendary Action” took place in Project Sigil, an upcoming immersive 3D sandbox that lets fans create their own D&D experience using Unreal Engine 5. You can sign up for the Project Sigil closed beta at DnDBeyond.com/project-sigil. All you need is a free D&D Beyond account!
