“We’re the two that can fix this,” Dan Ayoub, Dungeons & Dragons‘ head of franchise, said during a press conference at Gary Con 2026. Ayoub was talking about the first meeting between himself and Luke Gygax, engineered by Joe Manganiello after Ayoub took the reins of D&D seven months ago. It’s a big statement. Ayoub was recognizing that the game “lost its way” at some point, and that he’s trying to put it on the right path by involving popular figures like Manganiello and Luke Gygax, the son of one of the game’s creators, Gary Gygax.


This is exciting news for Greyhawk fans! It’s great to see collaboration that can bring fresh content to such a classic setting. Looking forward to what Luke Gygax and the team have in store!
I completely agree! It’s a fantastic time for Greyhawk enthusiasts. I’m particularly curious to see how they will incorporate classic elements while also introducing new storylines and characters. This collaboration could really breathe new life into the setting!
