A brand-new official collection that teaches you how to play the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game!
Including your combat booklet, character sheets and the start of your first exclusive adventure PLUS your first set of collector’s dice!
Receive exclusive gifts throughout the collection including a free issue, dice tray, dice jail, binder and Dungeon Master screen!
At its heart, Dungeons & Dragons is a game played together with friends and family that focuses on storytelling. You decide how that story unfolds, from what your character looks like, to how your character acts, to what happens next. Together you guide your heroes through quests, battle with deadly foes, engage in intrigue, enact daring rescues, seek out treasure and much more.
The DM takes control of the game, working with the players to craft an exciting and memorable story. They control all aspects of the game, from the characters the party meets, to the puzzles they solve and the monsters they battle.
Whether you’re playing a wizard or a warrior, everything you need to know about your adventurer is set out on a character sheet. This is where you’ll find your spells, skills, weapons and personality traits. Your character sheet will help keep track of your hero throughout their adventures.
One special die, the d20, helps decide if your character succeeds or fails at a task or attack. The unique gameplay of D&D means that sometimes the failures are as much fun as the successes. The remaining dice in the set are mainly used to determine how much damage their attacks deal.
Your free issue will guide you through everything you need to know to complete your next encounter PLUS you’ll receive some awesome dice or miniatures!
Keep your dice from flying off the table with this specially designed D&D Adventurer dice tray – the perfect accessory for any gaming table! Snaps on each corner allow you to store your tray flat. Perfect for taking with you to every D&D session!
Store every issue neatly with this awesome binder and dividers to ensure you can refer back to everything you need for your next adventure!
This handy Dungeon Master screen helps the DM to keep their storyline hidden from players. Epic artwork features on the players’ side, while the DM can see a useful reference guide to keep the adventure flowing.
Got a d20 that just won’t stop rolling 1s? Banish your troublesome die into your very own wooden dice jail until it learns its lesson!
