[QUOTE="brimmels, post: 8975565, member: 6919689"] After the [B]Minecraft D&D[/B] announcement, the [B]D&D Honor Among Thieves[/B] movie was the next showcase in the [B]D&D Direct[/B] presentation. An extended trailer for the movie was screened, followed by a promo for pre-made character sheets available on D&D Beyond like the movie characters. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Golden Archive Honor Among Thieves.PNG"]280007[/ATTACH] That tied directly into a plug for PlayDnD.com, a website that can get newcomers started. The highlight of this portion was the anime-styled cartoon “A Little D&D Tune” that gives a singing explanation of how to recruit and play D&D. While it'll never be a top 10 pop it, the Jocat Animation video was cute and clever. It was also the perfect lead-in to the announcement of [B]D&D Together[/B], an initiative in which local game stores will be holding [B]Introduction to D&D Games[/B] April 6-9 to help people intrigued by the movie try the game. [ATTACH type="full" alt="A Little DnD Tune.PNG"]280011[/ATTACH] Emily Bader, D&D brand manager in charge of toys at Hasbro, introduced Hasbro's March Monster Madness, showcasing various new toys. The [B]Honor Among Thieves Golden Archive[/B] collection are 6-inch scale, detailed figures that are highly articulated. [B]Cartoon Classics[/B] are a line that ties into the 40th anniversary of the 1980s cartoon. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Cartoon Classics.PNG"]280010[/ATTACH] Somewhat inspired by Hasbro's Transformers line, [B]Dicelings [/B]are the first-ever d20s that convert to D&D monsters.

The Secret Lair Drop Series is a select number of cards delivered directly to your doorstep, inspired by [B]D&D: Honor Among Thieves[/B].
