Gen Con 2025 Interview with D&D Designers Makenzie De Armas and Justice Arman

This year at Gen Con, I had the privilege of sitting down with Makenzie De Armas and Justice Arman, two of the creative minds currently shaping the future of Dungeons & Dragons.
Makenzie DMing one of the adventures from the upcoming Faerûn set for us.

At Gen Con this year, I was able to sit down with two of the main designers for D&D, and we had a fantastic discussion about upcoming products and what it is like being a part of the nuts-and-bolts of making D&D products.

I started out talking with Makenzie De Armas, and Justice Arman came in about halfway through. It was so much fun, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did having the conversation.

Plus, Makenzie was awesome enough to DM a game for me and some other folks, which was a true delight. I was going to get to play in one DM’d by Justice, too, but I had a scheduling conflict with another interview (Jenny Jarzabski from Paizo, which is coming and you can listen to soon!) Check out the pictures of the cool room we got to play in, though. It was definitely a highlight of Gen Con this year.

Let me know what you think!
