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.
