D&D General I know it's not Christmas yet, but this D&D advent calendar...

... looks pretty cool!

(Edit - looks like it might be a scam or something)

I thought the link was broken... nope, the link actually has an emoji in it.

End times.

Seems pretty cool as a gift though.

The price isn't even too bad for what's in it, though hopefully it'll be available from UK retailers too.

EDIT: On closer examination, this looks rather dodgy, though.

Isn't that dragon-type monster on the poster something from Monster Hunter, not D&D? Something seems a little off about this to me. I'm thinking this is not an officially licensed product, but I could be wrong.

It really is a great deal if all those miniatures are included, but I can't really tell from the website.

EDIT: After looking at the main image a little closer, there is a lot of photoshop working going on there. It is not a bunch of minis on a desk and in the advent box like it looks like at first glance. They are mostly images pasted together I am pretty sure.

Yeah, if the scale of the box with the mini awkwardly photoshopped inside one opening is consistent, there's no way those Large or Huge size minis are going to fit in a similar sized space - so, since all the openings are the same size, what's going on here?

EDIT: Also, I just noticed that the art isn't just reproducing the image from the Players Handbook - it's a direct lift, including the text that appears at the bottom of the cover.

All the minis and dice are photoshopped I believe. I am 99% sure it is not licensed, yet has D&D plastered everywhere and I am definitely not sure what you will actually get if you buy this. Cool idea, but I would not risk my money on this.

Huh. Well that’s disappointing! I thought it liked rather nifty when it popped up on Facebook!

 

[Charlaquin]

Very cool concept, too bad it looks so sketchy.

It does look nifty, a bit to much maybe. That at least was why I started to look a little closer. It helps that I have used photoshop for decades too.

Yeah, now you mention it those items do look just copy and pasted on.
