  • It's official— I'm _completely_ addicted to D&D.

    I bought this and I already owned one. HA! D&D has been the best game I've ever seen for more than 35 years. I could not possibly recommend this game any higher, and this "5th Edition" has made the game extremely easy to understand and play for everyone who has never heard of or played the game before.

  • A cleaner, tighter, more useable presentation of 5e D&D than the PHB, DMG, and MM

    Of all the published 5e adventures, the Lost Mine of Phandelver and the Dragon of Icespire Peak are the best. They give you a world to explore and quest in, whereas the other 5e adventures give a railroad style campaign narrative or an overwhelming poorly organized jumble (Curse of Strahd is an exception - Curse of Strahd is great too). For character creation, the Essentials Kit rules are great, especially for beginners or rules-light folks (like me!) - they give you the essential D&D character races, classes, backgrounds and spells, rather than the analysis-paralysis-inducing glut of character and spell options in the Player's Handbook. Spellcaster's spell lists are included in their class description, which I really like. Likewise, the monsters in the Lost Mine of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak appendices are the quintessential D&D monsters - goblins, orcs, dragons, ogres, owlbears, centaurs, undead, cultists, mimics, stirges, with a smattering of exotic pretties like the doppleganger and nothic - you can run a lot of awesome D&D adventures with them alone, sans Monster Manual! The MM does have all those cool, adventure-inspiring monster write-ups, but I actually prefer the brief monster descriptions in these adventure books - the details aren't necessary when the monsters are already placed in an adventure, and I prefer to imagine up my own monster personalities/descriptions. (Although when it comes to moster tactics, there's no beating The Monsters Know What They're Doing - an essential book for any 5e DM). For any DM who wants to really study the game and learn it, these are the products to do it: with a tight set of familiar spell, monster, magic item, and character archetypes and the core mechanics of the system, without the dizzying fluff of the DMG, MM, and PHB.

  • Excellent way to start gaming

    This low-cost boxed set provides an excellent starting point for new and experienced players alike. Learning to play the 5th edition is made simple with the short rulebook, excellent starting adventure, and easy to read character sheets. Makes a great gift for new, younger players looking to begin playing this game!

  • Great vintage cards

    I loved playing when I was a kid and now I have passed it on to one of my sons. I found these nostalgia cards so he can play with some of the similar characters I did. Thank you so much!!!!

  • A very good starter set for the novice and veteran alike. A perfect way to begin your adventure.

    I have bought the starter set for nearly every edition of Dungeons and Dragons RPG. This is a pretty nice starter set, ideal for the beginner or veteran players alike. My only complaint is that it does not come with a full set of dice there is no percentile dice. Other than that I highly recommend this starter set.

  • Basic necessities

    It doesn't come with a lot, but it does come with the basic necessities for playing. It includes one set of dice, a starter manual, a premade campaign, prepare character sheets for said campaign, and a blank character sheet to make copies from. It was packaged well and came really fast! Overall, impressed.

  • All items intact just as described.

    I bought this item on discount because of "scratch and dent". All the pieces were there as promised. The box had a big hole in the back but we knew that going in. I am super happy with my purchase. Just what we wanted at a nice price.

  • Great content for a good price

    Good set for beginners to get a feel for the game. Especially if you watch Critical Role or Acquisitions Incorporated DnD games :)

  • Lots of fun, everything you need!

    I bought this and played with a group of 4 other friends. None of us had ever played. It took a while to read through the instruction book a couples (and watched some videos online too) but all in all was able to play through and had a great time! Highly recommend!

  • Great starter set.

    Nicely done, all I needed for a basic campaign even came with dice! Since I lost my old set when I had to move suddenly I decided to grab this when I saw it definitely worth the price in my opinion.
