The Dungeons & Dragons x Nerds Crossover is on the way
Wizards of the Coast announced a new partnership this year between Dungeons & Dragons and Nerds. In what feels like a combination that should have happened years ago, WotC and Nestlé have come together for a little promotion that will see the yummy characters transformed into a loveable bunch of character classes for advertisements, as well as serving as a promotional item for D&D within their candy. As you can see from the artwork below, the characters are already dressed up as a number of character classes such as the Bard, Wizard, Rogue, Paladin, Ranger, and Fighter. Which came with this small promotional tag.
Revealed today at D&D Live, the official partnership between Nerds and Wizards of the Coast isn’t noteworthy just because the two make a perfect pair. Your purchase will unlock special adventures made for one player and one Dungeon Master that you can download from the D&D website.
Each adventure comes with a pre-generated character sheet. Every Nerd starts at their own level 1 character and class, for a total of six whimsical characters and six family-friendly adventures. If you collect all six, you’ll unlock the seventh adventure for a full party of level 3 characters!
The seven adventures are written by game designer Kat Kruger. The story begins in the city of Harmony, which has been experiencing a strange case of “color outages.” What could be causing this strange phenomenon? And will the party be able to solve the mystery in time? These one-on-one adventures are ideal for a grown-up and child to play through their first D&D story together. All puns aside, it really is a sweet idea that we can’t wait to check out ourselves.
