The USPS Reveals 2024 Stamps in Honour of the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons

December 5, 2023 By ausretrogamer

Hey Aus Post, hope you guys are taking notes!

The US Postal Service (USPS) will release a series of new Forever Stamps in 2024 in honour of the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons – how darn cool are these?! We almost want to take up stamp collecting!

This stamp release marks the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, described by its owners as the World’s Greatest Role-playing Game, that has become a cultural phenomenon. By inviting participants to imagine themselves as wizards, warriors and other adventurers in exciting and treacherous fantasy worlds, Dungeons & Dragons opened doors to whole new universes of creativity for generations of players. The pane of 20 stamps features 10 different designs that highlight characters, creatures and encounters familiar to players of the game. Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps and pane with existing illustrations.
