D&D 5E (2024) So what's going on with the October book?

[Remathilis]

So essentially another starter/game box set with a tie in to the show.

Not what I expected, but happy for people who want this.

But at least the mystery is solved.

Wasn't this year supposed to be a continuation of the fiftieth anniversary year? Not exactly impressed at this point....

News just in: it looks like the October thing isn’t postponed or cancelled, but nor is it what we thought: it’s a Stranger Things tie-in called Welcome to the Hellfire Club. Appears to be boxed, contains a couple of adventures and Stranger Things tuned props.

I saw someone call that, somewhere, funnily enough

We need to track them down and give them a prize.

Or, if they are a WotC employee, arrest them for fraud.

They should put in BX and/or AD&D adventures...

They are certainly aping the covers, although I think they may lean into parody. According to my source, the setting is called "Greyhawkins".

The adventures in the picture appear to be called "Devil. Metal. Exit!" - so not at all Metal then. And ".......... crop"

"Devil, Metal, Die!" and "Scream of the Crop"

Nah. That was just a spin to explain the MM coming out later than intended.

Hey, I'm just trying to be kind by believing them.....

The EW story says it is Greyhawkins, as created by the DM of the Hellfire Club
