Especially since everyone knows that real men are all about eating dangerously spicy food.

Yeah, it’s shady as hell. If you look at who’s answering the questions about the product on that Amazon link, it’s not Wizards who are selling this.

More likely it’s someone who’s seen that the regular Starter Set is, at least temporarily, hard to find while Hasbro pushes the Stranger Things version and is cashing it.

The good news is they’re almost certainly going to blow the rest of their fortune on cocaine and Bitcoin.

Note, I mean the official Starter Set sold by WotC, not that dubiously more expensive set that’s got extra third party junk added onto it that Eric linked to.

Here’s the official D&D Starter Set. Here’s the Stranger Things version. You can get the original one for less than $20 most of the time on Amazon and is all you…

That set he linked above is from a third-party vendor. The Amazon reviews for all the stuff they add on are mixed at best. I’d definitely just go with one of the two boxed sets from WotC myself.

DriveThruRPG/RPGNow is great for this, although just Googling “OSR” (for “Old School Renaissance” or other words starting with “R”) will point you to all the cleaned-up versions of the old school rule sets. I do think all of those require a bit more up-front knowledge than a newcomer might have, since they’re…

Eeh, I’m going to disagree somewhat. This is a pretty expensive list for newbie DMs.

First off, the Starter Set (either original flavor or the new Stranger Things flavor) is superlative, with a great, stripped-down ruleset that gives you all the basics and an adventure. The adventure in the Starter Set is easily the…

Taller. Everyone but him is actually standing on a box, Tom Cruise style.

Came here for this. You do not disappoint, i09 commentariat.

Most disappointing way “hog” could have been used in that headline.

Two years in, Vanilla WoW also had Onyxia’s Lair, Zul’Gurub, Naxxaramas, the Dragons of Nightmare, both AQ raids and cross-realm battlegrounds (AB, AV and WSG. Plenty to do.

This seems like a good product in a generation or two, once they improve the feel of the glasses and offer more lens options, including prescription.

Holy shit. They only have 3,600 Instagram followers. Lots of high school students have more than that.

And they got fucking written up in Travel + Leisure.

They sure can do the self-promotion game, that’s for sure.

It’s building a brand by which to sell other, cheaper, crap.

Very few of Gwyneth Paltrow’s audience live her lifestyle, but she can still sell them the image. And jade vagina eggs.

Given how many fourth-tier comics are being turned into movies now, it’s depressing that Milestone hasn’t been picked up, especially after Black Panther blew the roof off the multiplex.

See, I love Maus — to the extent one can love something that makes me want to lie down in a dark room and be sad for a very long time — but I don’t know.

First, it started being serialized in 1980, before being collected in 1991. So if we go by the start date, it doesn’t work as a demarcation point, since it basically…

The last arc in Kimmy Schmidt made me very, very nostalgic for Cats.

Right now, Andy Serkis is feverishly looking for anything else by T.S. Eliot he can perform in, for a straight-to-Netflix competing film.

Coming to Netflix in 2020: Andy Serkis is J. Alfred Prufrock!

More Archie Panjabi in everything, please.

Jesus, I had forgotten about Marvel’s hilarious Soviet superheroes, but you’re right, they totally need to be in this.
