If you follow me at all over at Bluesky or Facebook, you have already seen this, but because Dungeons & Dragons turns 50 in September....

YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS, THERE ARE D&D STAMPS!!


Image: A sheet of 20 colorful stamps depicting various monsters and classes made famous in the TTRPG Dungeons & Dragons. Pictured: My character, Idyril (not really, but damn close enough!)


What I did NOT know until someone commented on my post on Bluesky is that THE UK HAS A SET, TOO!!  And, guys, guys... IT'S EVEN NERDIER! THE BRITS HAVE OWLBEARS. REPEAT: THE BRITS HAVE OWLBEARS (and mimics and gelatinous cubes and... just click the link already, you know you want to see them.)



Image: a British goddamn owlbear. My life is complete.


Even though I have no real use for stamps from the United Kingdom, I have gone ahead and ordered a sheet. They will arrive in an estimated 25 days. Luckily, they will have a perfect place in my stamp collection next to the Game of Thrones stamps the UK issued several years ago.

Anyway, I thought you all should know.
