Following the success of last year's Stream Of Many Eyes, Dungeons & Dragons have announced a new livestream in May called D&D Live 2019: The Descent. From May 17th-19th in Los Angeles, the company will be broadcasting live D&D games featuring several well-known personalities and shows in front of a live audience. During those three days, they'll also be showing a sneak-peak at upcoming products, signings with D&D luminaries, musical performances, giveaways, cosplay, and more! The primary focus of the event will probably be on their upcoming book Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and while not specifically stated, it will most likely some extra info on the Acquisitions Incorporated book arriving this June.  But if you recall from last year's event, it also served to announce new books on the way for 2018, so this year will probably be the same.

We attended last year's event and it was an absolute blast. We have more info below for those in the area looking to attend in person, as the festivities will kick off at 4pm PDT on Friday, May 17th. FOr those not able to attend in person, it will be broadcast live on Dungeons & Dragons Twitch channel until the last game ends at 6pm PDT on Sunday, May 19th. No word yet on all the participating Twitch programs that will cover the entire three days, but hopefully, that news will be released soon. You can also watch a video below showing you last year's event.
