The Perfect Way To Start A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure
03.10.2023 - 11:45 / fortressofsolitude.co.za
Suppose you want to get involved in the beautiful art of Dungeons & Dragons and adventure but need help knowing where to start. In that case, the official D&D Essentials Kit from DnD Beyond is the perfect place to start. With everything from a set of dice, an essential rule book, an adventure to get you started, maps so you know where you are going, and even item cards, the Essentials Kit has everything you need to start your first adventure, either as a Dungeon Master or as one of up to six players.
Geekware: Your One-Stop Shop For All Things Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
Dungeons & Dragons is notoriously a little intimidating game, especially for someone who has never played the game before. There are excellent resources on the internet, like the DnD Beyond website and countless YouTube videos that are eager to help you start your adventure. However, it’s still one of those things that you might need to dive straight into to get you going.
The D&D Essentials Kit is perfect for this. It comes with a slimmed-down 64-page rule book containing all the essentials you will need to create characters for your adventure. That way, you have all the basics you need if you are still deciding you want to buy the player’s handbook.
Next up, it would only be an adventure with a campaign guide, and this one is Dragon of Icespire Peak. To quote the book, “This book is written for the Dungeon Master. It contains a complete Dungeons & Dragons adventure and descriptions for every creature that appears in the adventure. It also teaches you how to run a D&D game.” Thanks, D&D, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
We have some of the essentials you need to play the game from here. The first is a set of dice. Most dice sets only have seven dice, one of each shape, all of which you roll for different occasions that the game might throw at you. To make your life that much easier, the D&D Essentials Kit has given you 11, including one of each dice you would typically have, but also adding an additional D20 and three additional D6s. It’s always nice to have extra D6s, perfect for stat rolling when creating your character, and if you are anything like me, a dice goblin, the more dice, the merrier.
The box also includes 6 character sheets, a Dungeon Master’s screen to hide your rolls and keep the adventure a surprise for your players, a double-sided poster map so that players can feel immersed in the adventure, and 81 cards. The cards come as perforated sheets so that you can separate each card, and they also come with a card box to keep them safe.
Last but certainly not least, the box comes with access codes that allow you to access the content online through the DnD Beyond website and a discount code for a whopping 50% off if you

Mosa Lina is an immersive sim for people who hate the perfectionism of immersive sims
Immersive sims like Dishonored or System Shock can be very fulfilling, but they are also oddly stressful. After all, the flipside of the genre mantra of solving problems through imaginative application of the tools is that when you achieve a boring solution, that's all your fault. Did you miss the final jump while trying for a complex, third-storey infiltration in Deathloop, resulting in a sadly non-immersive firefight in the courtyard below? Did you fail to combo those magical abilities and terrain variables as the developers hoped - nay, dreamed you would, forcing you to rely on ye olde cover-shoot tactics to reach the checkpoint? Shame on you! Don't you know how much imsims cost to develop? Go back to Open-Ended Systems School and retake that course in The Power of Choice. Also, consider playing Mosa Lina instead.

My Steam Next Fest darling is a rare chill MMO that's the perfect calm to the busyness of my Final Fantasy 14 routine
Playing Sky: Children of the Light’s Steam Next Fest offers something I didn’t know I needed. While the inner RPG enthusiast in me is spoiled with the depth and complexity on show in Baldur’s Gate 3 and ever-destined to return to frequent haunts like Final Fantasy 14 to pillage further through 10 years of content, the Journey creators’ chill MMO reminds me that there’s great joy in little at all.
