Just strikes me as a little silly fun. Sure, not the hook to get me. But that's all right.

Again, demos don't lie. People over 40 playing DnD are now in the minority. Hook em while they are young I say. Worked for me.

Week of Legend Lore | Dungeons & Dragons

Apparently she's announcing all the news as Legend Lore Hostess. It appears that there will be some crossover between AFR MtG set and Witchlight.

Heck if I even got into DND at a younger age, it would've hooked me in too.

Remember back when WotC brass watched the final cut of the D&D movie in 2000 and evidently thought "yes, that's something people will want to see?"

I suspect the quality of this video has a fair amount to do with Amazon crapping the bed and announcing these books before WotC were ready. this is what 2 days notice gets you. Weekend days, no less.

10 years old are used to better edited videos from youtubers.

My son, when he was 10, decided to make a quickie video about the lunar eclipse he'd gotten us out of bed to watch with him. I woke up to a video better than most amateur adults could make, especially on six hours of sleep.

MTG and Hearthstone regularly have silly videos like this, too. It's part of how gaming marketing happens nowadays.

Apparently this new FR character Ellywick Tumblestrum is multiversal (Planeswalker) and is appearing in D&D, MtG, and more products.

I thought the video quality was fine. They needed to say something, and there will be a more full discussion to come.
