D&D 5E (2024) The return of official D&D to Target is coming

[bedir than]

This May Target is going to carry a companion workbook about how to create a character within the 2024 rules.

Early marketing clearly calls out that it is paired with the 2024 PHB.
This almost certainly means that the PHB is about to be in Target again.
Target is still selling the Essentials Kit and Icespire Peak Starter Set (though most locations are out of physical copies)

The item name on the website says it's licensed:

The Player's Workbook of Epic Adventures (Dungeons & Dragons) - by Andrew Wheeler & Official Dungeons & Dragons Licensed (Hardcover)​

And it's from "Clarkson Potter Publihshers," which I've never heard of before, and not WotC.

I removed that line, thank you.

As an official companion to the revised and expanded Player's Handbook, this workbook is a helpful resource for embracing D&D's new core rulebooks. There's never been a better time to gather your party and begin your adventures!

Great news!!! I hope they can get the starter sets in there. Seems like an awesome way to get more people into the hobby.

Would love if a few systems could get starter sets in Target

The mystery thickens. I assume they will get one or both of the new Starter Sets.

Has there been other official companion 3pp rules books before?

Is this part of what they meant by D&D franchise?

I think these are just more licensed books.
