For a game that’s been around for five decades, Dungeons & Dragons is continuing to gain popularity. The game officially turns 50 years old this year, and to celebrate Wizards Of The Coast had some big announcements regarding the special anniversary. Fans can expect six new book releases, upcoming gaming events, and brand collaborations, some of which may leave you with questions.
The celebration kicks off in March when the brand deals start to pop up. The merch collabs include Lego, which will release a Lego Ideas set, a shoe and apparel collab with Converse, and a tie-in with Pop-Tarts. There are no additional deals on the Pop-Tarts collab, but let's hope they’re dice-shaped.
