D&D's October Product Revealed to Be Stranger Things Tie-In

[TravDoc42]

I wasn't expecting this, TBH.

I'll wait and see. I thought the first set was underwhelming, but the 80s art will probably suckered me in.

Weren't we just discussing with someone formerly from WotC how difficult it was to time the release of a product with a show/movie/game?

I wasn't expecting this at all, but I've never been any good at guessing future releases. Isn't there some overlap with the Starter Set being released in the previous month?

Out of left field. We'll that answers the October Surprise question, but opens up another, what the heck was the Horror & Arcane subclasses UA for?

An Everything book.

Some overlap, but this might actually be a less expensive option, and is more of a nostalgia marketing tie-in: it does have a very 80s TSR vibe in. Good way, whereas the new Starter Set is very now, very board game-ish.

Is it just me or does the art for Eddie look more like Matt Mercer than the TV show actor?

 

[Juomari Veren]

Man, I was gonna be like "cool, a product I can actually skip this year", but the production values of it based on the press release are goddamn nice I don't even know that that's true

HA!!! Just like Captain Kirk, my hunches prove correct. I nailed this one perfectly! Please check out my short post (#26) from 3 days ago on the "Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December" thread:

Thread 'Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December'

Friday at 6:38 PM

Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will now launch in December 2025 due to a cover defect. Wizards of the Coast announced that the upcoming Eberron: Forge of the Artificer rulebook is being delayed for several months after warping was discovered on the covers of published books. The entire original print run of the book is being recalled and reprinted ahead of its release, which means that the production process will be extended by several months.

As a result of the production delay, the book will now be released on December 9, 2025, with early access...
