Turns out it's built entirely around Warlocks, which is exactly what I play at my own table - level 9 Hexblade, for anyone counting. This one covers what the game actually is, the studio's slightly rocky history, and why the internet's already arguing about whether it even counts as real Dungeons & Dragons. Three-part series this time. Part 2's where it gets personal - the actual gameplay, how much of this is real D&D lore versus made up for the game (there's a patron reveal that caught me properly off guard), and my honest verdict on whether it's worth it if you've never played D&D before. Part 3's the Netflix Ravenloft show and the actual mess currently going on at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro.
