ManyDungeons and Dragonsfans are glad to see this newD&DCommunity Update hub. As long as Wizards of the Coast uses it effectively, it will be a great tool to stay up to date on current events inDungeons and Dragons. Considering the communication breakdown which led toWizards of the Coast’s controversy over the Open Game Licensein January, this new hub might be exactly whatDungeons and Dragonsneeds.
Some fans aren’t ready to trustDungeons and Dragonsyet, however.
