"Next week we celebrate our birthday with a gift for you. Join us Monday when we open it."

Posted on the D&D Facebook page.

Let the guessing begin ...


(Wasn't too sure where to put this, feel free to move this if it in the wrong place)

I hope it's not a large deck of S&M containing four decks of S&M.

It could be anything; I'm going to go outside the box and guess it's a pair of D&D shoes.

An AIP? seems roughly the right size.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

That looks like an awfully big box for an AIP bottle, but who knows?

Yes, a pair of fanning shoes!  Hands tired?  Wanna spice up the routine?  Fan with your feet!  Automatic fanning powder dispenser included!  :))

What I really wish it is would be a free stripper jig, but that's just not gonna happen.

AIP is a reasonable guess - but kinda pedestrian.  I'm thinking it's something more unique than that, and likely something no one has offered before.  Remember, these are the guys who brought court-card coat hooks, hand lotion for card people and invisible bookshelves to the community...  There's little reason to assume that this is a pack of cards or anything that closely related to cards, like a new clip, an AIP bottle, etc.  Hell, it could even be a busker's vest!  I've been dying to find a good one for a long time now.

Haha all jokes aside, I reckon it is decks. In fact, multiple decks (mainly ones they they had high hopes for and couldn't shift very well i.e S&M reprints and October deck) .. It may be that they're going to do what Alex Pandrea did for his birthday at TBC.

I seriously doubt that.  It wouldn't be worth all the fanfare.  Plus, as you said, Alex just did it at TBC - they'll never heard the end of it from him if they do!  The three of them are friends.

I think your right.

It was about this time last year if I'm not mistaken.

I can't be the only one who noticed that the black package and the brown-wrapped box with string on the earlier image are NOT the same size/shape...  The black package, judging from the size of a typical wax seal, is much smaller - about the size of a pack of cards.  What on Earth do they have to do with each other?

Throwing an idea out there, it could be a new Fulton deck. I remember prior to the release of the Clip Joints they teased us with a wrapped package.

I can't imagine it being a Fulton deck so soon after the October Fulton one. I keep thinking it's mystery deck and mystery variety box, but the box is way too big for the variety box.

The wax seal package is a playing card product. Anyone familiar with that new seal and logo that D&D used knows it says "Dan & Dave Playing Card Co." on it and has a hand holding cards at it's center. Not that much of a mystery. It does leave me to believe its this years mystery deck promotion.

Personally I'm a little disappointed we are not going to see the purple smoke and mirror. Call it cheesy, it would have been a hit. Using the exact pantone of Tamariz's purple hat. Sometimes the best products are created accidentally. V7 was meant to be the last, thats not a lie. S&M Special Edition Purple is what the customers want.

Not really, no.

This still doesn't explain that big brown package wrapped with string.  Ain't no way that's a pack of cards, or even a brick.

I don't think that little package has anything to do with the brown package. The brown package is an unveiling for their birthday come Monday. The other package is just a mystery ...

They're BOTH mysteries, when you get down to it...  But at least we know that the black one is a pack of cards.

Maybe it's a magic box set.

A deck, a few books, and some gimmicks. Maybe a DVD.

Thats quite possible. But i just cant see this as a gift from D$D, they just dont do gifts. Perhaps its a lottery of sorts.
