D&D 5E Shipping Update for Deck of Many Things

WotC has posted an update about the delayed release of Deck of Many Things, with it appearing in the US in January and other places later.

On October 27, we announced a delay in the shipment of The Deck of Many Things set due to the product not meeting our manufacturing standards. We're excited to announce that production on a new round of The Deck of Many Things sets has begun.

For U.S. players and stores, we expect The Deck of Many Things set to be in hand starting January 5. EMEA and APAC will see shipments a little later than this; we will update you further when we can share a more exact timeline. If production runs into issues that cause further delays, we will provide additional updates as soon as possible.

Thank you,

The Wizards of the Coast team

Was this book $99 the first time around? I thought I remember it being cheaper (about $79?)

On Amazon, it is cheaper. They haven't upped MSRP ($60 book plus a $40 deck of cards).

Sigh. A long wait for what I think is actually quite a mediocre product.

I mean, it isn't terrible, and contains excellent stuff. But a lot of it feels curiously inessential.

I still rank Xanathar's as the best of the non-adventure content, and a book I've used extensively as a player and DM (even if they completely overpowered some spells). I long for another expansion to the core game with its weight. With this product, the focus on making everything relate to the Deck of Many Things - understandable as it might be - just doesn't click for me.

Cheers,
Merric

I think this book bangs.

I think this book bangs.

It is one of the most creative books of the past decade, IMO, and also very utilitarian. I particularly like how modular it is: tons of small, microdose tools and bits and bobs thst can be used in a game. I hope they do more like that.
