From the WizKids Website

Hello Dice Masters Fans!

We’re working on rolling out a change for how Swiss Rounds for Dice Masters are played in tournaments. Instead of Best of 3 Matches, the suggested format for the Swiss Round portion of a tournament will now be single-game matches with a suggested time of 30 minutes per round. This will apply to Monthly OP and Storyline OP events.

WizKids Press Release - WizKids October/November Release Date Updates

From the WizKids Website

We have a couple of updates on the shipping schedule for our October and November products.
Some of you may not be aware that there has been a major west coast port issue affecting all imported goods coming into the country. As such, many of our products destined for North and South America have been moving through the system slower than usual. European product, imported by Esdevium Games, should be unaffected by any delays and the release dates will be confirmed on both Esdevium’s and WizKids’ websites.

For those of you that wish to know the extent of the issue we’ve been wrestling with for months, you can go here to read about the situation.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Despite our effort to adjust our schedules to account for unforeseen logistics issues, the magnitude of the problem at the port ate up all of our slack time and has resulted in the delays outlined below.

WizKids Press Release - WizKids Announces Dungeons & Dragons Dice Masters!

From the WizKids Website

NECA/WizKids is excited to announce a new Dice Masters game set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms universe.

“We’re excited to expand our Dungeons & Dragons portfolio with the addition of Dungeons & Dragons Dice Masters.  Dice Masters is an all new game that utilizes WizKids Games’ proprietary Dice Building Game platform where players collect and assemble their “party” of adventurer dice and battle in head to head gameplay. Dice Masters has had huge initial success, is a very exciting platform and should fit perfectly with the world and lore of Dungeons & Dragons. You can expect to see some of the most recognizable monsters and characters, such as Kobolds, Beholders, Mindflayers, Dragons, Drow, and many more!” said Justin Ziran, president of WizKids Games.  “We’re excited to work with Mike Elliott and Eric M. Lang, who brought the original Dice Masters game to life, and we are sure they will bring Dungeons & Dragons Dice Masters to the table top in unique and immersive ways.”
