Well, it looks like D&D and roleplaying have grown up. When I started in the hobby it was for kids, but that’s just not the case anymore. Coming on November 16th of 2024 New Holland Brewing and Distilling Company in Cooperation with Wizards of the Coast will release “D20” a new limited edition bourbon barrel aged beer. The 11% stout is not for the faint of heart and comes from New Holland’s Dragons Milk line of beers. This limited edition is specifically made in cooperation with Wizard’s Dungeons and Dragons line of roleplaying games.

But before you get to excited the adult beverages don’t stop there. They are also releasing Dragons Milk “Origin” Mead Cask. This is a bourbon whiskey finished in mead barrels. So, if the 11% beer doesn’t get you, the 100 proof whiskey might.

Christina, what do you think about this release specifically and what are your thoughts on the hobby “growing up” with these adult tie-ins.

Next, we go to what I would call more of an engagement article then actual news.

Bell of Lost Souls staff writer J.R. Zambrano wrote a little seasonal article about 5 great undead for your Halloween horror adventures. Starting off the Lich, and then making there way through Banshee, Dullahan, flameskull, and finally Skeleton the article gives you some interesting ideas to add to your adventures. I was especially happy to see Banshee there. This often-overlooked screaming ghost can be a ton of fun to add to a campaign. And for those of you that have no idea what the Dullahan is, it’s your typical headless horseman. Another fantastic addition for this time of year. My only beef with the article, no Zombies. I mean let’s face it, they are the most popular movie monster for a reason. They are just damn fun.

Christina, Thoughts on Halloween monsters?
