What a dumb calendar. Hey, have some free stuff that we already gave out, then buy stuff with these coupons! About the only original thing is the DND Beyond sheet music.
I mean, it would be nice if the codes provided actually worked. With 200 bucks worth of minis in my cart at DNDMINI.com neither the 20% off coupon nor the gem dragon coupon code actually works. “Unable to find a valid discount something something blah blah blah”
I already have both sets, but theyre real nice, claim if you don't have them.
true dat
Dumbest thing with the free stuff you already gave out, is that you can use the old link to get them anyways. Someone posted it and I was still able to claim it. So the free stuff was basically nothing due to the fact you can still claim it anyways, but hey the sheet music is pretty cool. Just wished they had more imagination/ideas instead of coupons too late to use due to the fact that shipping wouldn't make it come in time for Christmas. They really should've thought that through more.
Which books / adventures did they give out in the previous calendar?
The only one I remember was on Day 5, they gave out the Monstrous Compendium - Volume Two: Dragonlance Creatures
I'd be interested to see the internal numbers on how many users stopped opening calendar windows halfway through the month, like I did.
I would imagine the proportion is very high. Halfway through the month, they stopped making you open the windows to see previous days, which iirc is something they've never done before. My suspicion is that they promised their licensed advertisers a certain number of eyes on their ads, likely informed by prior years' calendars. But they quickly realized that this year they weren't getting nearly as many views because people stopped opening windows at a rate much higher than previous years (since from a consumer standpoint this year's calendar was far less enticing than previous years') - so they changed it to ensure that just opening the webpage was sufficient to get views on the ads, without the customer needing to click anything.
I really can't see any other reason they'd have changed the display format this year compared to previous years, especially since they did it partway through the month and doing so broke the page's layout to an extent (both of which suggest the change was not planned in advance).
Next time they should actually give us something new that is not just a discount on something I can make or on 150$ book bundle that's leaked I just want free stuff
me too
Will there be one this year?
Day one.... something they've already given away. 🙄 haha... Makes me wonder if it will all be the same stuff.
Kinda... They're going 12 days of DnD on DnDBeyond market...

Kinda shame that they didn't post it
Maybe the person that would have done it got laid off to save Hasbro's CEO their bonus.
its all stuff they've already given away
Yeah. Pretty dumb that there is ZERO mention of it over here
Seems to be very bravely offering things I already have...
What an amazing company they are.
It's very odd how they "need" card info...
Yea, you have to enter card info for stuff they already gave out for free... Isn't it smarter to do nothing rather than disappoint?
