D&D General The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons: 1970-1977 Coming In June

Is that June 18th release date set in stone now? I was under the impression the release dates were announced in error, then retracted, and as far as I know haven't yet been re-announced or amended.

This is the re-announcement.

Here's to hoping WotC finally catches up to the OSR of 15 years ago and starts including ribbon bookmarks in their books. Not just this one, but in the actual core books, modules, and supplements.

It shouldn't influence me, but if they actually slap gold foil on the covers of the first printings of the 2024 books and include ribbon bookmarks, that will definitely bump them up a partial letter grade with me.

And they keep on pushing D&D as a lifestyle brand.

Treats from Pop-Tarts to enjoy during your game sessions"

I'm interested in seeing what LEGO does. Not gonna lie, we absolutely used LEGOs as kids for playing D&D.

I'm not as keen on the gold foil, but the ribbons are too useful not to include.

They really need to get a Mt Dew promotion before years end. They do them with everyone and the Dew is a foundational part of the hobby. Bonus points if they get Domino's in on the act as well.

It looks like you meet in a tavern, go to a castle and crawl a dungeon. It's a one-box adventure is what I said on my site when I reviewed the reveal imagery.

Just trying to keep it authentic to my experience. Mountain Dew, Little Caesars, and D&D. That was a weekend right there.

I want the legos and the book. Gimme.
