It's time for the next D&D Live event. That means celebrity DMs and players will get together to unveil the next major upcoming content for the world's biggest roleplaying game. There's just one hitch – the global pandemic keeping most of the world indoors. It makes it hard to gather hundreds of people in a single space and have then spend hours together playing . So, like all the other major event this year, D&D Live 2020 is going digital.

There's power in stories, especially interactive ones. They bring people together, help them escape the stress of the real world, and give them a space where their imaginations are free to roam. We might not have the table right now, but events like D&D Live 2020 prove that roleplaying can still empower.
