Platinum Edition of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Platinum Edition of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Love this Platinum Edition. It has it all, beautiful minis, handouts, maps, encounter cards etc. Really looking forward to playing this with my D&D group :-)

The Platinum boxes have been an evolution for Beadle & Grimms. Each box from Waterdeep Dragon Heist to this one has been better than the one previous (imho). There have been some constants (fine jewelry, encounter cards, art, maps, pre-generated characters), but each box has gotten better at providing utility to the DM to run the adventure. For example, not sure we would have seen something like butterfly wings or a unicorn horn in the first box. Waterdeep came with unpainted minis. This box, like Rime, comes with a curated collection of the best from the Wizkids set. There have always been maps, but having a map tube is nice for transport and the quality keeps improving. The handouts and props in Witchlight are ridiculously handy and especially loved the multiple wanted posters and tickets to give to players. The bonus encounters feel more and more like they are part of the adventure with each iteration. B&G have done this without skimping or regressing in any area, especially quality. They are getting better and better at their craft. Would enthusiastically recommend this product to any DM looking to create extreme immersion for their Witchlight campaign.

I would have chosen 8 stars if there were 8. Words cannot convey the quality and care that is put into this set! Mine arrived TODAY! I'm surprised I'm able to sit here long enough to write this after opening the box, but alas - I am compelled to. Most people might question their decision to spend the amount they did on this Platinum box set, but allow me to put those doubts and suspicions to rest. Immediately.

From first opening the box, once you are finally able to control your excitement, the amount of thought, care, and quality that had to go into creating this masterpiece becomes glaringly obvious. Even your third cousin who suffers from extreme ADHD has time enough to notice the sheer amount of passion the fine folks (or goblins) (or both) put into making this amazing set before he squirrels. I am a DM that has been playing since the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons (yes the very FIRST!). As stated above I literally just received this today so I have not been able to run the adventure yet (no, not even I am THAT good), but I am extremely ecstatic to do so. I watched a few unboxing videos while awaiting my set and actually having the items and holding them and looking through them is so much more amazing than a video can portray. You will be surprised by the quality and texture of the maps, you will be astonished at the quality and weight of the metal artifacts, you will be captivated by the care taken in optimizing the adventure into chapters, you will be bewildered by the detail and excellence of the player handouts, you will be frivolous as you hold the unicorn horn to your forehead and prance around the house with your daughter in the included high-quality fairy wings (don't even - you KNOW you will be...)(...even if you don't have a daughter), and you will be amazed by the set of fully painted minis specifically for this adventure!

I've taken up too much of your time already (ok, MY time, I want to get back to my Platinum set!), go and buy it NOW! You will not be disappointed in any way! Shipping was very quick and communication from Beadle & Grimm's is top notch. You will know what stage your order is in every step of the way!

Seriously, stop reading this and go order it!

P.S. I cut my finger a little on the high quality cardboard that enshrouds all of the amazing items in this box set and it bled. So I guess technically Matthew and I have now both shed blood for the unboxing of a platinum set...
