Workers behind Dungeons & Dragons vote to unionize

In a press release, the workers have laid out what they’re seeking from management. Surprise, surprise, like basically everyone in any kind of creative field, they’re looking for some kind assurance that they won’t be replaced by AI. However, they’re also asking for what appear to be pretty standard requests from your employer. This includes fair wages, job security, reliable healthcare, fair workloads (including remote and hybrid working), and ownership of work created outside of the company. 

If Wizards Of The Coast voluntarily recognizes the union, the Dungeons & Dragons team and Studio X say that they will then begin bargaining and have promised to “share additional details with you all as they develop.” “The games we create are foundations of the gaming industry,” the teams write in the release. “Just as D&D has inspired countless TTRPGs and Magic sparked the TCG revolution, we hope to catalyze real change within our industry and build upon the groundwork laid by other gaming unions, creating a space where all workers are protected and treated fairly.” While this is still up in the air, the teams have encouraged any supporters to sign and share their petition.
