Apparently, according to the leak, there's no NEW digital dice sets. There MAY be digital dice sets free later in the calendar, but (again, according to the leak) they're ones that are already claimable and have been claimable for quite some time - others have already posted links to claim them.
Like this: Claim the Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden Dice Set now! - D&D Beyond (dndbeyond.com)
I'm pretty underwhelmed as well. Was hoping for at least something like a character sheet skin or an animated portrait or even a set of worthless animated dice!
The highlight of last year's advent calendar were a few coloring pages and a few cut and fold paper crafts. Like maybe 6 non-coupons in total? The rest were 10% or so off coupons.
I'd say the physical "official" advent calendar floating around is better because it has a handful of stickers and I think temp tattoos, but that thing costs like $40 for about $2 worth of dollar store grade stuff that isnt even useful or interesting.
At least this digital advent is free, even if there's nothing interesting or useful.
Same with the digital-physical bundles. You could get like 3 times as much at retail cost for the same price up here in Canada after shipping, duty, taxes, import fees, etc.
i know right? btw since this is dnd beyond you would think they would give you gifts to help you on the site, like the gift wrapped dice or maybe a free subscription trial or something idk
how hard is it to give good useless items not coupons
I started poking around and there's some cool useless stuff coming, at least to me.
Sheet music for the dnd beyond theme song
the beholder printable mentioned earlier
also some non-merch discounts
most of the dnd beyond bundles have their usual holiday discount
D&D Expansion Gift Set Digital + Physical Bundle is so discounted I'd buy it in an instant if I didn't own all of it already digital and one physical
I agree it's definitely off to a slower start, one popular freebie would have been nice. But if the goods are supposed to get delivered before xmas, coupons for physical objects makes sense to do earlier in the month.
Re, day 6: The "prize" itself says the game is "available on Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, and Android!"
I can confirm it is also available on Nintendo Switch. I haven't downloaded or played it, so I can't promise the code will work on Switch. But strictly speaking, the list of platforms is at best not complete. (I haven't actually checked to verify that the game actually is available on every listed platform. I suppose there's a chance it's not, especially in light of all the other misinfo that's been presented through official channels lately - but in this case I feel it's likely the list is accurate and is simply not complete.)
So, if anyone wanted to play but didn't have any of those platforms, know that you can at least get the game itself on Switch too! (Again, I don't know for sure this code will work.)
I already owned the first three, and it looks like at some point in the last 11 hours they've disabled the fourth one. It's telling me "This promotion is no longer available."
I'm guessing the others might be disabled now too, but I have no way to verify that.
I'm not gonna lie, I check this years calendar for your comments. Because holy shit do I not care about any of these thus far
Your doing Tiamat's work, keep it up.

When someone gives you a "gift" that is just a discount coupon for a product the giver is typically regarded as someone particularly stingy or miserly. Thanks WoTC for continuing to be a greedy, soulless goblin (not the good kind).
Welp no need to hang around any more. Just a question how did you even get that?
Goofy goblins
Maybe they didn’t like the dnd community giving more dice then them.
Big brain!
HEADS UP!
Kobold Press is doing an ADVENTure calandar looks like every other day is something free then some discount ect... Looks like it's the same as last years so only have 24hrs to claim the free day stuff when it comes up or you miss out.
For anyone looking for some fun and cool looking D&D printable ornaments, here's a bunch from the one and only, Tony DiTerlizzi! This kind of stuff is what the Advent Calendar should be about!
