tells me seems to say all locks, all traps, one DC. Yeah, that seems really weird. Anathema to most designers and how they think. So will we know what will designers do to explain why this trap is harder than the DC that's in this book? Because that's what the player was led to expect and might generate their character. If I can hit that DC, I'm done. End of story. Well, who knows right now?

Well, Variety reports that this long gestating, as they called it, Magic the Gathering animated series has a new showrunner, Terry Matalas. Matalas received praise for the third season of Star Trek Picard, the sci-fi series 12 Monkeys and other projects. Before this, it was the Russo brothers in 2019 and then Jeff Klein in 2021. And then it has been just completely quiet.

And someone actually interviewed said, well, I think this is dead. But hey, out of nowhere, now the series has a new showrunner. And so, you know, maybe that'll bring new script writing or pilot proposals or who knows what, but more energy to the show. And, you know, the reason for reporting this isn't just that it's kind of interesting, but it's Magic the Gathering.

It's not D&D, but the D&D TV show is also in this sort of situation now. And there are things like there is the Transformers movie coming out. And these days, because of Hasbro, it can all be a lot more integrated, right? And how one does can mean how the next does. So if we have a super successful Magic the Gathering Netflix series, that may bring a D&D TV show.

We saw Optimus Prime in the virtual tabletop demo, right? Against Driz Dwarden. So all of these things kind of can fuel each other. And so in some ways, you want to kind of cheer them all on a bit and hope that they can do something interesting with them because it could all tie into how D&D fares.

It's really cool. And, you know, this has been something Jared is like my better self. It's like I was thinking to myself, you know, I really want to comb through all these old materials and really remember what all this stuff happens in these various adventures and what Vecna does and to what extent the fifth edition adventure builds off of that or is something completely different.

But I didn't have to because Jared did all the work. Thanks, Jared. Thank you. He goes and starts way back with Eldritch Wizardry and in the original Dungeons and Dragons and the DMG where it's just basically two artifacts from this dead, famous person. And then we get like a cartoon and we get all other things. And, you know, some of it's conflicting backstory, as he rightly calls out.

It doesn't all make sense or jive, but Vecna lives as an adventure based in Greyhawk. Very cool. At the end of it, Vecna is defeated and then he ends up in the domains of dread and Cass is his neighbor and another neighboring Ravenlob domain of dread. Then he escapes and Vecna reborn with sort of a weird idea of how to get out of a domain of dread.

uh divekna die was this huge adventure uh at the end of of one edition leading to the next and it's one of those things where when editions change often and maybe this is you know is is uh 2024 a new edition maybe this answers it and that we didn't have an adventure that really explained all the rules changed right but we sure do in other cases and one of the things that happens is divekna die
