Jess Lanzillo, former VP of franchise and product for D&D, joins White Wolf, the creator of Vampire: The Masquerade.
Lanzillo will now serve as the creative director for World of Darkness, focusing on supporting the lore, player agency, and mature themes of the games.
White Wolf's executive VP sees Lanzillo's addition as a strategic move to expand World of Darkness and establish it as a top horror entertainment brand.
With talent from D&D moving to other TTRPGs, such as White Wolf, it raises questions about the evolving landscape of tabletop RPGs and potential competition in the market.
