Have you always been curious about Dungeons and Dragons, but didn’t know where to start? In this video we’re going to show you how to jump into the game with only one single purchase, the D&D starter set.
There’s no denying that D&D has absolutely blown up over the last few years, with massive tabletop roleplaying game companies on a rise. So for those of you who have never played, now is the perfect time to get started!
And there’s no better way than with the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Kit from Wizards of the Coast!
You can of course purchase this starter set at your local game store, book stores such as Barnes & Noble, or online at retailers like Amazon and Target. link in the description
The starter has a retail cost of 19.99 and comes with everything you need to get started, including a condensed rule book, some characters already made for you, and the 64 page module book for the DM to take players from level 1 to level 5
If you’d rather play online because of the pandemic, you can also find digital versions of this game on Fantasy Grounds, Steam, Roll20, and D&D Beyond.
By the way the kit comes with a set of it’s own dice!
So worst case scenario, you and your friends only have 20 bucks to get started, you can pass out character sheets, one of you is the DM, and you share the dice.
So that’s everything the set comes with, but is it worth the price?
If you’re just starting D&D and you want a slow transition into it with just the bare basics, this kit is great. It has characters already made for you that you can learn to play with, and a simple to follow storyline for new DM’s complete with it’s own boss fight at the end, no spoilers. And honestly, this simple adventure is better than even some of the more expensive modules, which is a huge plus.
I will say that this game does limit you to only a handful of classes, and if you are planning on being the DM, you’ll probably want a few more resources, perhaps the Dungeons Master’s guide, a monster manual, and the complete rules in the Player’s Handbook, but I’ll go into all of what you will need to be a DM in another video.
So there you have it! A small box with everything you need to get started in playing D&D!
It’s fairly inexpensive especially when you take into account that it also comes with the tools needed for up to 5 other players.
Wizards of the Coast created a great starter kit as an easy springboard into the world of
D&D and it’s honestly a great time for beginners or seasoned gamers.
Let us know what you think about the starter kit and some of the best parts of your own adventure, I’d love to hear them.
