They look pretty cute.

Probably 0 value in this kind of thing though right. 31st set of minis....

I guess these are officially licensed or something? But not actually made by Wizards?

The Blue Wizard is amazing

It really comes down to how many they produce.  5k sets ok.  50k sets, you’ll find them in bubble gum machines for 50 cents.

Have WhiKids ever produced anything that was not a simple attempts to cash grab from the kiddies?
I'll give you that the failed bailout of Battletech may be considered by some, a contribution to the gaming world, but outside of that, isn't the company more of a leach than a contributor?

Yay! Happy B-Day DnD!

Wizards may have a grand plan, but no one knows. Others have concerns.

When will DnD’s 50th anniversary actually begin?

Wizards shared some concrete launch dates as part of its big DnD release schedule announcement in December 2023, but these were quickly retracted, and no replacements have appeared. The documentary is reportedly still in pre-production, and it doesn’t even have a title. So far, only the anniversary miniatures seem to have a release window, in the third quarter of 2024.

I’m not expecting everything to drop on February 1, of course. Wizards of the Coast’s employees probably have their hands very full designing an (almost) new edition. But considering the specifics of the DnD 2023 release schedule were announced eight months in advance, this silence is a little concerning.

While there's a lot of stuff going on I can't talk about yet, I can at least say happy birthday to D&D!

I can't really speak to schedules (not my department) but if these initiatives as you put it are not noted here I'll chime in, sure.

No, it's just a figure of speech.

Well, if you want a 5E bundle of sorts, I can't help that.  For me, the big deal is the history of D&D book with Jon's notes.  According to another video as well as (I'm told) EnWorld, that book will contain not only the OD&D bits, but Chainmail, relevant portions of Outdoor Survival and Greyhawk, Blackmoor and Eldritch Wizardry.  Regarding the documentary, I backed that original KS.  I have two things as Ash says it from Army of Darkness (jack and s**t).  I would like to see it at some point, but there is a plethora of other things out there we can glean from.  In terms of the minis, I like them.  I'll get them.  I wonder what the other chase ones are.  And on top of that, we have a second edition of Playing at the World coming out.  Lots to like for us I think.  Maybe not to every individual's tastes, but good options to choose from.

The history book is on amazon for preorder. They dont charge until it ships. A down side here is sometimes they package books like no one cares about dented corners. The book will also likely be widely available.
