Dungeons & Dragons Celebration brought a bunch of exciting game experiences thanks to the entire community, who enjoyed the games and panels galore of the event.

The D&D Rules Expansion Gift Set is a great addition for the Dungeon Masters and D&D players you know (or yourself) who want to level up their libraries beyond the core rulebooks. The set includes new printings of Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and a new volume, Moredenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse, which collects and revises tons of D&D material released since the launch of fifth edition into one convenient tome. Those three books and the Dungeon Master's Screen are all contained in a wonderful slipcase.

"We planned to release the D&D Rules Expansion Gift Set before the holidays, but like many products in the industry, production and shipping delays forced us to move the release date," said Liz Schuh, Director of Product Management for D&D. "But for D&D fans looking to use holiday gift funds in the new year, this is a quick way to create a library of setting-agnostic material for their D&D games. And hey, it doesn't have to be a holiday to give this Gift Set to anyone who wants more D&D goodness beyond the core rulebooks."

The D&D Rules Expansion Gift Set will be released in store shelves starting on January 25, 2022, with standard covers by Grzegorz Rutkowski (Monsters of the Multiverse, DM's Screen and slipcase), Magali Villeneuve (Tasha's), and Jason Rainville (Xanathar's) featuring a shiny foil version while the new alternate covers designed by Joy Ang. Monsters of the Multiverse will be available as a standalone later in the year.

"We revised the content in Monsters of the Multiverse so that it plays even better than it did before. Many of the monsters have new abilities and new bits of lore, which will make them even more fun to include in your campaigns," explained Jeremy Crawford, Game Design Architect for Dungeons & Dragons. "We also shifted the lore focus so that this material is relevant no matter where you play in the D&D multiverse, not just in the Forgotten Realms."

Monsters of the Multiverse contains more than 250 monster stat blocks and over 30 playable races from various sources including The Tortle Package, Volo's Guide to Monsters, and Modenkainen's Tome of Foes.

Wizards of the Coast noted that all the updated content in Monsters of the Multiverse will be released on digital platforms when the book becomes available as a standalone, and while fans can still use older content from previous releases, they will need to purchase Monsters of the Multiverse if they want access to all the new and updated content.
