D&D 5E Stormwreck Isle Starter Sets show up in the wild!

And there are characters who look very much like this lot in a crowd scene, in the movie, in Neverwinter.

Total coincidence.

Another thing I just noticed: there is no Inspiration, either in the rulebook or on the character sheets!

Yeah, we attempted to use inspiration when we first got the Phandelver starter. We just forgot they were a thing after a while and just stopped using them.

Is it that difficult to grasp?

Is it that difficult to not be rude for no reason whatsoever?

Who wrote it?

James Wyatt was the lead, with additional design by Sydney Adams, Makenzie De Armas, and Dan Dillon.

FWIW, the adult versions of the cartoon kids appear in artwork throughout the adventure, but the pre-gens are NOT them. (The pre-gens include a halfling, dwarf, etc).

Oh! Hill dwarf is different, too!

Lacks the "Dwarven Combat Training" ability and "Tool Proficiency" ability that all PHB dwarves get.

These would definitely be changes in keeping with the "race does not equal culture" philosophy.

Have they lost stonecunning as well?

No - they do have Stonecunning and it works as in PHB.

True, but it does seem situated to tie into the film.

I now remember why I never shop at Target:

• Target #1, 10AM, no Stormwreck, no spot on the shelf where it should be.
• Target #2, 2PM, website says they have "limited supply", but nothing.

I swing by my house, regroup, and check the website. One more near my house that says they have 4 in stock.

• Target #3, 3PM, nothing, no spot on shelves. I grab a store employee to assist, it's like I had asked a friendly stranger at a bus stop, clueless. He calls the person in charge of stocking that department, she has never seen this item. She decides to tell me it must have sold out (even though she never saw it), or it isn't due to arrive until the 16th, or any other story she can think of to make me go away.

I had it delivered from their website.
