To many Dungeons & Dragons needs no introduction, as for decades it has provided a place for people to get together and tell a grand story filled with mystery. And +1 Pants of Durability. And yeah, and that's Dungeons & Dragons in the traditional pen and paper and dice roll sense. Basically, the thing that is responsible for every computer RPG ever made -- and the reason why battle systems in games still rely on virtual dice rolls to determine defensive and offensive outcomes.

This weekend in Seattle, the Stream of Annihilation will bring together a number of streamers for some old school D&D fun, plus be the place for a few D&D bombshells from the Wizards of the Coast D&D team. And that's bombs of the 'a strange wizard with a grey luminous beard made them' variety. The event, which kicks off at 3am AEST time on both June 3 & 4 (running through to 3pm each day) will also be the place the new D&D story coming later in the year.

Throughout the Stream of Annihilation, we’ll drop details on our expanded D&D Twitch programming, new accessories fans have been clamouring for coming later this year, and amazing board games and products from our partners. You’ll hear from Cryptic Studios about plans for Neverwinter, Curse Media for D&D Beyond, as well as WizKids, Gale Force 9, Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and more. Plus, like any Dungeon Master worth their salt, we have a few exciting surprises to pull from our bags of holding!
