Delays in Dungeons & Dragons' Deck of Many Things Release Due to Defects

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Gizmodo

Wizards of the Coast has announced a delay in the release of the physical edition of the Deck of Many Things set for Dungeons & Dragons due to manufacturing defects. The company plans to re-manufacture and re-distribute copies without the issues. The defect rate was deemed too high, with problems such as varying card shapes and sizes and tight paper bands damaging the cards. The delay does not affect digital owners or those who purchased the bundle. The issues are unrelated to cost-saving strategies and are instead attributed to recent waste reduction efforts in packaging. The set is expected to release by the end of the year.

"Dungeons & Dragons Breaks Barriers with First Autistic Character"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Polygon

Wizards of the Coast is releasing a new Dungeons & Dragons product called The Deck of Many Things, which includes a book featuring the first canonically autistic character in the game, Asteria. The character's portrayal was influenced by the experiences of designer Makenzie De Armas, who is autistic herself. The inclusion of an autistic character reflects the game's efforts to be more inclusive and welcoming to a diverse player base. The Deck of Many Things is expected to appeal to new players and highlights the benefits of tabletop role-playing for individuals with autism.
