A set containing all of the books you need to start playing Dungeons & Dragons, as the Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set is 25% off in the UK for Black Friday.
Dungeons & Dragons saw its best-ever year of sales in 2019, due to people around the globe being attracted to the game through streaming shows. As such, there has been a growing interest in playing local games of D&D. People who are curious about starting the game can check out our Beginner's Guide to D&D for tips on joining or starting groups.
If you're in the UK and want to get into D&D, then there is a deal going on this weekend that will interest you. Amazon UK has a 25% off deal running on The Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set, which is active now and will run until November 15. The Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set costs £67.49 for the duration of the sale.
The Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set contains the three core rulebooks (the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual), a DM Screen, and a slipcase to carry them all in. The books provide everything you need to run a game of Dungeons & Dragons. If you're just interested in being a player for the time being, then you only need to purchase a copy of the Player's Handbook. Aspiring Dungeon Masters should also purchase things like a battle map and some generic minis, depending on their budget. If money is an issue, then graph paper and some pencils can act as a substitute.
The use of physical books has fallen out of fashion with some D&D players, as there is a growing trend of attaching everything to a D&D Beyond account on a smartphone. This has some benefits, such as always having your character sheet backed up online, but there is always a place for physical rulebooks at the table, especially when the inevitable rule arguments begin.
The Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set is on sale until November 15, 2020.
