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

[Starmaster]

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

Little Caesars may not exactly be gourmet food, but at least you can still get a large pizza there for just seven bucks.

I am all over that book. And I'm getting the lego set for one of my player's kids!

Gold foil? Multiple bookmark ribbons? Inconceivable!

I've never even seen a book with four ribbon bookmarks before. And all that foil to boot.

This doesn't sound like something that's going to be available at most FSGS and it looks like WotC isn't distributing their product to Books-A-Million or Barnes & Noble anymore, so it's going to be really interesting to see just how good of a job Amazon will be able to do in beating the hell out of it before it gets to me.

No, they are distributing to B&N, all these new books are on the B&N website already. They dropped using one diatributor,doesn't mean they are dropping book stores.

Amd this will be at FLGS, no doubt. It is a $100 book, though.

That's good to hear. I hadn't been able to find The Deck of Many Things at either bookstores' website in the past, but now I see that it is finally listed at Books-A-Million (although shown as currently not in stock), but I still haven't been able to find a listing for the Deck on Barnes & Noble. As you mentioned, I see the Vecna book currently listed on Barnes & Noble, although it's not yet on Books-A-Million. So hopefully all these new books will be in the stores in a timely fashion.

Unfortunately, the Deck of Many Things is a bit of an oddball case, it seems.

Maybe when the stores were in the process of switching distributors that particular item somehow slipped through the cracks.

In 2014, I got my 5E Player’s Handbook and OD&D Collectors Box from Amazon on the same day, and naturally took a picture with them together. You’re saying I can repeat this feat for 2024??

They will still be in BooksAMillion and B&N, just not through the same distributor. WOTC wouldn't be so dumb as to cut off their hand. OK, maybe but they will still be in book stores and big box retailers through other channels.
