D&D General US Postal Service Releases D&D Stamps

The United States Postal Service announced a set of Dungeons & Dragons stamps.

​

From the announcement:

Dungeons & Dragons
This stamp release marks the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, described by its owners as the World’s Greatest Role-playing Game, that has become a cultural phenomenon. By inviting participants to imagine themselves as wizards, warriors and other adventurers in exciting and treacherous fantasy worlds, Dungeons & Dragons opened doors to whole new universes of creativity for generations of players. The pane of 20 stamps features 10 different designs that highlight characters, creatures and encounters familiar to players of the game. Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps and pane with existing illustrations.

Other stamps announced as part of the 2024 release schedule include a stamp dedicated to UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, a ten-stamp set celebrating carnivals, and a set of 16 stamps featuring art from American landscape artist Ansel Adams.

The stamps will be available for sale in select post offices and online at the USPS store.

Funny...I was just reading a thread here from 2012 in which people were debating whether or not Dungeons and Dragons was close to death.

I'll take that as a no!

 

[Lakesidefantasy]

Wow, I'm going to buy a lot of these.

 

[Longspeak]

[REDACTED], now I have to start collecting stamps!

 

[Laurefindel]

USA forever? Is that on every American stamp?

D&D with Ansel Adams. It’s official, we are the mainstream.

I believe the "Forever" is in lieu of a price. So you can buy them now (at whatever the going market is for stamps now - I haven't bought any in a long time), and they're guaranteed to be able to be used years in the future when the price of stamps has been raised again. Otherwise, instead of "Forever" they have the price of the stamp listed on it, and it will always be that value even if the price of stamps goes up (in which case you'll need a smaller value stamp added to the one with the previous price to make up the difference).

Yeah, "forever" isn't jingoism, just showing that the stamps will still be good in a year or two when prices have gone up.

But you can only use them to mail letters to Waterdeep.
