D&D 5E Dragons of Stormwreck Isle: New D&D Starter Set Is Coming This Year

Hasbro has posted a short video which highlights its 2022 portfolio of brands, including toys and games, and in it can be seen images of a D&D Starter Set called Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. The cover feature a blue dragon breathing lightning.

Critical Role's Call of the Netherdeep also appears briefly.

In this press release, Hasbro lists the boxed set with a retail price of $49.99, which seems very high for a starter set.

Now that we know the price is incorrect, we can start debating important questions: If the moon were made of BBQ spare ribs, would you eat it then? Would you go back for seconds?

What animal are the moon ribs from? Are we talking Flintstones style dinosaur ribs here or something more mundane?

I'm thinking pork? The only proper source of BBQ ribs. Unless you can get capybara.

I was going to buy it $50. I'm a sucker for starter sets. I think it's the idea I can capture that "first time feeling" chasing the dragon.

Well, there you go.

And here we're all assuming the price will ultimately be LESS than $49.99.

I'm just thinking that they will do 5 box sets with a new chromatic dragon for each. I would be in favor if all took place around Phandalin as well.

Depends on if the Man on the Moon hasn't started and pretty much ate all the good bits.

On a serious note: I'll see what's in it first. I've gotten both Starter and Essential Starter kits and if this has something decently worthwile or different form the other two, I"ll probably nab it. Plus, it comes with a set of dice. And the Starter kit dice make excellent loan out sets if a player needs an extra at the table.
