WotC Chris Perkins announces Retirement from Dungeons and Dragons

Over on Twitter and Bluesky, Chris Perkins has announced his retirement from Dungeons and Dragons.

Chris Perkins started officially working for Wizards of the Coast in 1997 as an Editor for Dungeon Magazine. Since then, he has functioned as the Editor in Chief of D&D Periodicals, A Senior Producer, and eventually landing as the Senior Story Editor over D&D 5e and Game Architect on D&D 5e 2024.

He also is known for acting as one of the Dungeons Masters for Acquisitions, Incorporated.

Personally, I'll miss the guy's work.

Did not expect that one

I remember seeing his name on my copy of Warriors of Heaven back in the AD&D 2E era. The guy has had quite the career in D&D.

I remember him as just a prolific submitter of adventures to Dungeon Mag. He wrote some good ones (even though for reasons I can't remember any more I wasn't a fan at the time). I once signed a letter to Dungeon as "The Anti-Perkins" but I can no longer remember which issue it was printed in (I never had it).

Good luck to him! But this makes me feel old.

Thank you Chris for all you've done. You leave an amazing legacy behind.

Best of luck going forward.

That’s weird. Didn’t he just get a promotion?

I’m a little surprised he managed to have such a long career there, what with the annual Christmas lay-offs that WotC seemed to be so keen on for many years!

Didn’t he just recently become Creative Director or the equivalent?
