Wizards of the Coast has dropped a new Dungeons & Dragons playtest, and this one carries a distinctly apocalyptic tone. According to Wargamer, the Unearthed Arcana features four subclasses: the Circle of Preservation Druid, the Gladiator Fighter, the Defiled Sorcerer, and the Sorcerer-King Warlock. On their own, they’re intriguing options for Fifth Edition players. But together, they’ve sparked a wave of speculation on whether Dark Sun is about to return.
What began as a controversial series of statements about race and national identity in the tabletop RPG GiantLands has now escalated into a full-scale public meltdown by the game’s creator. Wonderfilled founder, a man credited on line as Stephen E. Dinehart IV, took to X with an angry, politically charged diatribe in which he attacked his own fanbase, blamed political opponents, and claimed that once again “in the future there will be no White people.”
