Joe Manganiello Wants D&D Icons To Honor The Creator Of Dungeons & Dragons

Joe Manganiello Wants D&D Icons To Honor The Creator Of Dungeons & Dragons https://ift.tt/3BEqbVQ Dungeons & Dragons has attracted several of the greatest storytellers of all time to the Forgotten Realms, and at Gen Con, Wizards of the Coast announced a new product line called D&D Icons to bring together creators to develop new stories for the tabletop franchise. True Blood actor Joe Manganiello has a long history with the franchise, and he serves as chief creative officer for the D&D Icons line. Speaking to GameSpot's Jessica Cogswell at Gen Con, Manganiello explained how he wants D&D Icons to continue the legacy of the game's co-creator, Gary Gygax.
