Those Alternate Art covers are gonna go pretty quick so I suggest stopping in fast.



This calendar has been updated to reflect the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Monster Manual Release One-Shot Adventure, "Hold Back the Dead."


The adventure is designed for four to six level 4 characters. Players will choose from character sheets for the six protagonists of the beloved 1980s Dungeons & Dragons animated series: Bobby, Diana, Eric, Hank, Presto, and Sheila, all presented in young adulthood. Players are required to have a D&D Beyond account (no subscription necessary)

Sign up here for any dates that work for you: Monday, February 10th, Wednesday, February 12th, Sunday, February 16th, Monday, February 17th.


We also will be CANCELLING KID'S D&D on February 14th. It's Valentine's Day. Let's give our DMs a break.






Any magic players looking for a new special sleeve for those commanders, make sure you stop in and get your limited print Critical Grind Little Toast Guy sleeve. They're only $1 each and we won't be printing more of this one. Once they're gone, they're gone.
