Dungeons and Dragons Tarot Deck
The new D&D Tarot Deck arrived today. Strangely, although it is written by one of WotC's game designers, Adam Lee, the publisher, Clarkson Potter, opted to go with Fred Gissubel for the art. Although Gissubel has done a lot of work in the comic field, it seems rather strange not to go with an artist more associated with Dungeons and Dragons.
It is a standard style Tarot deck and does come with a guidebook for reading tarot, so you do not need extensive familiarity with card reading in order to use it.

Metal Dice
Just a reminder that, if you spend the money buying one of the cool sets of metal dice we have on display (or buy them some place else) a dice tray is probably a good investment. These are metal, after all and rolling the solid ones can certainly damage your tabletop. In addition, especially if you purchased one of the hollow sets, rolling them on something hard could damage the dice. Purchasing a felt line dice tray is a good investment if you want to keep your metal dice in good condition.
Also, because of their heft, metal dice tend to roll further than you may be used to with plactic dice and a dice tray will keep them corralled in front of you.

Monsters Of the Multiverse
the next monster book for D&D 5th edition arrives on May 17, Monsters of the Multiverse. There is only one cover for the book as WOTC decided to release the alternate cover last January as part of the rules set that included alternative covers of Tasha's Cauldron and Xanathar's Guide to Everything. We still have a couple of copies of the rules gift set so if you want all of the covers, that is the only way to get the complete set.

Alta Fox
Venture Capital company named Alta Fox is pushing Hasbro to spin off the WotC Division of the company. Essentially, Alta Fox thinks WOTC is more valuable on its own than as part of Hasbro and that the value of the company will increase if freed from the strictures of Hasbro. Doubtful that will happen in the near future as Alta Fox just started pushing for the spin off a couple of months ago and Hasbro's boards is quite set against it.
