Great new intro to the world of DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) and its 5th edition. Im an experienced DM with a lot of official content but still picked this up.
Experienced DMs will probably pick this up cos a) fed up of running Lost Mines and want the new Adventure and some new quests around a familiar area of the Forgotten Realms b) need a complete collection c) like the new sidekick rules, quest cards and haven't already bought the map from Mike Schleys website d) want a nice rulebook to hand to newbie players.
So whats this DnD thing everyone at work is talking about.... ?
Where this shines is for new players and new DMs who dont want to yet splash out the cash on the core rules and give it a blast cos curious or just have a few mates who have wondered what its all about and need a new fix in between Game of Thrones / Stranger Things....which is perfect. Please do join this inclusive hobby as its no longer just for geeks, middle aged white men with beards, quirky teens etc etc (please insert stereotype depending on age and gender)
Whats the swag then....
Contents:
You get a book thats a full set of mini adventures and a map to help with the immersive experience (as a DM this is how I like to play) so the Dungeon Master can get stuck in. Enemy stats at the back, rules included to get going.
Players get a nice rulebook to guide them through how to setup their character (limited choices of class and race but you can get a good enough flavour for now and plenty of online resources or books for more) and the sidekick rules really help if you know, you are a couple and fancy playing this and don't have a regular gaming group of 5 who might be interested etc etc
Cards - for sidekicks, quests, magic items (A nice touch), initiative order (nah thanks) and conditions. Some more useful but a nice addition on simple perforated cardstock.
Dice - yep again saves you needing any extra but not the best.
Character Sheets - saves you needing to print them off from the Wizards site.
DM Screen - is flimsy and not as solid as the Reincarnated one but it has the exact same info, aka everything you need bare min to run a game.
Just add pencil, friends, a table and a free evening or two..or three (DnD is very addictive with the right group of mates) and liberal sprinkling of imagination and yeh lets do this attitude. Job done.
Absolute bargain for £25 and if you all chip in then you will get a great evening out of this and then you will be totally back for more....
