New D&D
Just caught on D&D Celebration that we will see two classic D&D settings updated for 5th edition in 2022 and a third setting in 2023. In 2024, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the game, WOTC will release the 6th edition of D&D.
Also just heard that in 2022 we will see Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse with 30 playable races This are playable races that have been released outside the core books and are world agnostic, that is, not tied to any particular world. Much as with Alternity, for those of you who remember that far back. this book will include concepts that will get incorporated into 6th edition.
Also in 2022, we will see a book with an alternate art cover featuring Boo the Miniature Giant Space Hampster so make of that what you will.

Most Popular D&D Class
Showing just how popular D&D has become, the career website Zippia jsut posted a column on the states that play the most and least D&D as well as the most popular character classes. The state tha tplays the most D&D per capita is Utah, the least is New York. Given their relative population sizes that makes sense.
Based on internet searchs, the most popular characer class is monk, followed by ranger and druid in a dead heat. Given that the rankings are based on internet seraches, it might just be that those are the classes most people have questions about and, ergo, they launched a search for info about them.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Both covers of the Wild Beyond the Witchlight released today. Wild is a campaign set in the Feywilds that can take characters from level 1 to 8. The setting is the Witchlight Carnival, a dark carnival somewhat similer to Mr. Dark's carnival from the classic Something Wicked This Way Comes.
The carnival comes to your world once every eight years, providing not only entertainment but access to a Feywild domain corrupted by the schemes of the Hourglass Coven. Stop the Coven and save the domain of Prismeer from fading into nothingness.
While they last, both covers are $49.99

Debit Dawg
It appears that the Univeristy has moved onto new equiptment for the Debit Dawg program and it is too expensive for us to get a terminal. the university will update again in a couple of years but, until then, we can only take Debit Dawg, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 pm, basically when the the SIUC ID office is open. Since most students wanting to use Debit Dawg want to do so on weekends and in the evenings, we expect to see our already low usage of the payment method drop even more.
