The US Postal Service celebrated the game last year, and now it’s the UK’s turn, as the Royal Mail reveals a batch of Dungeons and Dragons themed stamps made for the 50th anniversary of the RPG.
Available for preorder now and releasing on July 25, these stamps feature iconic DnD monsters from the owlbear to the beholder, as well as a range of adventurers – each one portraying a different DnD class and race. There are 14 designs in total, eight featuring monsters, and six portraying an adventuring party.
The monster stamps include:
- A Red Dragon
- A Beholder
- A Mimic
- A Mind Flayer
- A Gelatinous Cube
- A Displacer Beast
- An Owlbear
- Vecna
While the class stamps show:
- A Dwarf Paladin
- A Dragonborn Wizard
- An Elf Fighter
- A Halfling Cleric
- A Human Bard
- A Tiefling Rogue
Each stamp is illustrated with new artwork by Wayne Reynolds, an illustrator whose pieces have appeared in plenty of DnD books, as well as TCGs like Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone.
They’re being sold in a variety of configurations over on the Royal Mail website. You can buy a set of the eight monster stamps for £15.40 ($20) and the six-stamp character set for £8.10 ($10.50). If you have a preferred design you can also get packs with four copies of your fave.
The Royal Mail is also selling expensive framed versions of the artwork (enlarged, of course) and little metal ingots featuring the designs.
The products are not UK-exclusive, so anyone who wants can order one – though obviously they’ll be less practical outside of their country of origin. Some items appear to only be available in limited quantities.
