Christopher Perkins, a senior D&D designer, director, and the mind behind 5e's Curse of Strahd, retires after 28 years at Wizards of the Coast

Strahd, titular villain of the Curse of Strahd module, sits regally in his throne in the module's cover art.

Christopher Perkins, a senior D&D designer (and, recently, creative director) has retired from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years at the company—as announced on his Bluesky profile late last week:

"Today I retire from Wizards after 28 years," Perkins writes. "With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game’s in good hands. See you in the Feywild!"
