Celebrate #5yearsof5e and 45 years since D&D’s First Publication

Guess what happens in 10 days? Wizards of the Coast commemorates five years of fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons and 45 years of D&D history since the game’s first publication in 1974 with the D&D Sapphire Anniversary Dice Set. The complete set of luxury aluminum dice is created exclusively for WotC by Level Up Dice, and will be available directly from WotC starting at 11 a.m. PT on Nov. 21, 2019.

Celebrate D&D with custom-crafted treasure

From the WotC announcement page:

“When the D&D team realized the sapphire is the traditional anniversary stone for both five years and forty-five years, and that adding a laboratory-created sapphire to a twenty-sided die wouldn’t jeopardize the integrity of a roll, we couldn’t pass up the chance to make something really cool to celebrate the milestones. The team put together a fun product for our fans that includes art and newly updated stats for sapphire dragons, making these classic dragons ready for play in your next D&D session.” — Nathan Stewart, VP of the D&D Franchise at Wizards of the Coast.

This collector’s set includes an 11-piece dice set featuring a masterpiece d20 with an inlaid lab-grown sapphire in the place of the twenty, a custom dice box and dice tray combo, a foldout card with 5E D&D stats for an adult sapphire dragon and art, a sticker sheet and a collector’s card confirming the authenticity of the set.

I’m already looking forward to the 55th anniversary so I can get my birthstone. Stay nerdy!
