I agree. There should be a 50th Anniversary set like the Silver Anniversary, with reprints of most of the AD&D modules and the MM, PHB, and DMG.

The hard backs are coming one at a time with the MM getting released in March of 2025 apparently. It really feels like they dropped the ball preparing or just had bad ideas. I get the cross marketing, I just dont care about it. Silver anniversary is looking amazing at this point.

I have purchased the lego set - you can spend 2700 Lego points to get a physical copy of the attached adventure though a digital version is free and on that D&D Beyond thing also.

Having kids of the right age makes the lego a no-brainer for me - but I guess YMMV for lots of people

I dont know if any item is really considered "The One." Maybe the history book? But I am glad to see a remake of the old modules. I am certain there will be an alternate cover announced later, which is getting annoying.

Ok, that is not a bad idea... however let me say it seems good from far but far from good...

Call me old fashioned, but I can't get past this art style.  Its just...boring...

Why is every picture, or almost every picture, predominantly pink or purple?  I like purple, but I'm having visions of Grimace dancing in my head.

"Hey, our writers are shit, most are under 30 years old and have no comprehension of what made this company and game great. Frankly, their offerings make a pigeon droppings look tasty. Can we just reprint some of the classic stuff the old white guys we detest wrote 40 years ago, update it to 5E, throw some garbage AI artwork all over it, and include a completely made up new lameoid character that has no connection to anything except it'll show those idiots out there we are still awake and creating "new" content?"

"Sounds good, maybe we can trick some of the old timers we've chased out of here into paying $100 for a book they'll never use with a system they don't care about. What else we got for the 50th? Another movie? Another computer game?"

"We have the VTT computer program that we haven't fully vetted or tested that may or may not run, and some gussied up rulebooks with no new rules that are coming out at the end of the year."

"Can we microtransaction some of this shit?"

"Well, duh, of course."

This seems interesting.. bundled old modules on sale...

Get seven classic D&D adventures for just $32 - Polygon

I clicked on the bundle link and am taken here...

DriveThruRPG

I was a little (actually a lot) shocked at the prices of the PDF's.  I haven't purchased one in 20 years but regular price of $8 for B4 and S4, and $7 for S3 is pretty steep in my opinion.

Even the 'sale' priced bundle seems high or maybe I'm just complaining to hear myself complain.
