And in another, he's an anthropomorphic pig.

Personally, yes, but it is a significant deal of an RPG sells at a major retailer like that.

D&D started off as DC & Marvel, literally copying the art. Hell, the Forgotten Realms was literally a DC Comic book line.

The funny thing about enshrined "official canon"...nobody woth sny "authority" over canon cares. The whole multiverse echoes thing also gives WotC a get out of jail free card on retcons. Literally everyone wins.

Can you tell usnanything else from the preview copy that you clearly seem to have read...?

I mean, Daggerheart is selling like hotcakes, but people seem bot to be tired of the 2014 rules either.

Depends on how you count a "monster" perhaps? Could be 40 objects into he d&D Beyond database if there is some sort of transforming mechanic.

It is a really funny cultural evolution that the multiverse transitioned from being something in grungy, pulp "outsider" art to literally Micky Mouse stuff within my lifetime.

I mean, sounds like a good enough justification for RPG purposes.

Gygax would tell people he pronounced it like Bugs Bunny. Gygax was, after all, playing games, Greyhawk has a certain sense of humor to it.

Well, bit but it does stayed that there are endless parallel worlds: "The Known Planes of Existence, as depicted in APPENDIX IV of the PLAYERS HANDBOOK, offer nearly endless possibilities for AD&D play, although some of these new realms will no longer be fantasy as found in swords & sorcery or...

The kitchen table visits of the Wizards Theee are canonical, insofar as "canon" means anything.

The below snippet is from a longer treatise on the history here:

It's in the AD&D 1E PHB and DMG very explicitly, and in great detail in the Manual of the Planes: the way the MCU made a fo at it goes way back in comics and pulp fiction the TSR peeps loved to read.
