      Hey, a question from a guy new to dnd, what exactly is unearthed arcana? At first I thought it was community generated content, but now I’m thinking is content that didn’t make the cut into full release? Somewhere between the two?

        It’s playtest material made by WotC, the company that makes D&D.

        Any new ideas that they’re not completely sure about, gets released as Unearthed Arcana first, players then can test it and give feedback, which they can use to balance out any issues it might have, before eventually releasing it officially in a book.

          Oh, interesting, thanks! That explains things I’ve heard and read about it and why some DMs might be reticent to run UA.
