D&D Movie/TV Where is all of the Honor Among Thieves D&D stuff, WotC?

A blow up of the miniatures cited earlier,

That owlbear is doing an odd dance or something.

Didn't Subway have a tie-in with The Hunger Games franchise? What inappropriate product could you tie-in with the D&D movie?

I think the funniest thing would be if church groups made a big push to get kids 'off the electronics' but also 'off the street' and as such to TTRPGs...

I have tried a few times at my church

A bunch of non-game movie tie-in books:

Four part regular book series (apologies if I missed it being mentioned).

No, the four parts, if you click through it are all four books you linked. There's a standalone adult novel, a YA novel focused on the druid, the novelization and the art book.

Well it's not an established franchise in movieland so not to many companies would be super keen to sign up to potential flop.

Are you suggesting that WotC would have farmed out doing dice and a D&D starter set tied into the movie to another company?

In all honesty I could actually see Hasbro farming out dice to another company at least. If someone wanted to pay them to put the movie logo on dice? Sounds exactly like the kind of thing they'd be up for.

An actual boxed set would be tougher to see someone else wanting or being able to do. It would be amusing to have seen Paizo make a bid on making a D&D movie branded Pathfinder starter set tho...

No but people are saying there's a lack of merch. There might be a reason for that.

No, people are saying there's a lack of D&D stuff to play D&D with tied to the movie. Very few people are unaware of the comic book, the novels, the plushies, the t-shirts, the bath tub toys, the baseball caps, the truck nuts, the lip gloss, the breakfast cereal, the socks, and everything else.


The one thing conspicuously missing from the Honor Among Thieves merch is anything to help guide fans of the movie into becoming players of the game. Target and Barnes & Noble, not to mention comic and game shops, should have towering retail displays with Chris Pine's smiling face on them as he holds out movie-branded starter sets and collectible dice.

The best we can hope for at this point is that D&D Beyond -- a website a newbie will have no idea that they need to seek out -- might have something posted related to the movie in March.

They would probably have to pay the cast more if they did that.

They already have paid for likeness rights! That's why there is already merch with their faces on it, like the comics and novels.

Yeah there own lack of D&D tie ins seem odd


Not having major 3rd party merch is easily explained.
