Summary

Wizards of the Coast wants to make more Dungeons & Dragons products using external IP, according to a new job listing.
This job requires someone to work with outisde companies to bring outside IP into Dungeons & Dragons, similar to Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragon has been rising in popularity in recent years, mostly thanks to popular shows like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Critical Role and Legends of Avantris, as well as the absolute behemoth that was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3. You could argue that Dungeons & Dragons has never been more popular, and Wizar𓆏ds of the Coast seemingly wants to try and make the game even more appealing to outsiders by utilizing "external IP" to the fullest.

According to (thanks ), Wizards of the Coast is looking for a "product architect" that will fulfill a number of roles, but will focus on "innovating our playable co🔴ntent for digital platforms, top-of-funnel new player experiences, and exciting co-created releases featuring external IP."

To translate that for normal people, that essentially means coming up with new ideas to make Dungeons & Dragons more playable digitally, making it more appealing to newcomers, and to work with other companies on Dungeons & Dragons products. On that last point, that means working with other IP to bring into Dungeons & Dragons - not to work with other stud🐭ios like Larian Studios and Paramou𒆙nt on D&♛D-based games and movies (though they'll do that too).

Dungeons & Dragons Is Getting More Products Using Outside IP

Like Wargamer points out, the most obvious point of comparison is something like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond sets, which have crossed over with the likes of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghostbusters, Chucky, Fallout, ♛and Assassin's Creed 💯in recent months. Obviously, it's unlikely that we'll be getting an official D&D campaign based on Assassin's Creed anytime soon (though that would be pretty cool), but that's the kind of thing Wizards wants from the "product architect".

It makes sense too, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:🌞considering how popular Universes Beyond has been and how much it's helped newcomers integrate themselves into the Magic: The Gathering sphere. Crossovers are all the rage these days, and what better way to finally 🐈get someone into Dungeons & Dragons than create something official based on an outside property that people who otherwise wouldn't be too interested in D&D would enjoy? It worked pretty well for Baldur's Gate 3.
