This had better not just be "here's some D&D Beyond dice with Chris Pine's face on them!"

wait would that be the 1 or the max on the die?

Are the potatoes some reference I'm not privy to?

Potatoes have some significance in the movie.

Hmmm?

 

[Burnside]

The potatoes are a running gag in the movie.

It is a reference to the movie (so is the fly).

As it’s the 50th in January, I’m expecting Blackmoor and Castle Greyhawk products
Not sure what they might do in terms of actual reprints as they‘ve already done Original edition in a nice set

He is a leading man and one of the good Chrises. Obviously, he's the high number.

Smoke rings and potatoes?

Lord of the Rings license confirmed.

It feels a little silly to make references to it at this point, then.

I suspect we won't hear about their 50th anniversary plans until later this year. They have a lot of products to sell between then and 2024.

Have we heard anything from Gail Gygax in the last couple of years? I'm not sure anyone would be excited about a Castle Greyhawk product that was just a reprint of Castle Greyhawk, Ruins of Greyhawk or Return to Castle Greyhawk. And probably the most qualified person to do something otherwise has been over at Paizo for years now.

They could do some version of an Oerth sourcebook, with some light Castle Greyhawk exploration.

I'm not sure how much resonance Blackmoor will have in 2024, documentary or no documentary.
