D&D Core Rulebooks (Dungeons & Dragons Gift Set) 2014

This set consists of the most important books for every Dungeon Master. Therefore it's an excellent investment for both newcomers and veterans of the game. Because the product comes in a hard slipcase, it serves perfectly as a gift. I'm certain that every D&D fan would be happy with receiving one. In this set you can find: 1) Player's Handbook: It's the guide for players that includes rules for character creation, spells, equipment, and basic mechanics of the game. 2) Monster Manual: Designated mainly for the Dungeon Master, contains a wide range of creatures that players may encounter. Each monster comes with statistics, abilities, lore, and illustrations. 3) Dungeon Master's Guide: Guide purely for the DMs, this book provides detailed instructions for creating and running campaigns. It includes rules on how to create worlds, dungeons, NPCs, and also provides a variety of magic items. 4) Dungeon Master's Screen: Made of sturdy cardboard, this screen serves to hide the DM's notes, maps, and dice rolls from players. It also has quick reference tables and rules printed on the DM's side. For me personally these books were the first D&D products I have ever gotten. After reading these I definitely felt ready to run my first campaign. As the starting point I recommend playing with Starter Set first, but a set of these three books is an excellent next step towards your adventure with D&D.

I've been I to D&D since I was introduced to 1st edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons by my uncle when I was about 10. My first purchase of D&D was a good few years later after running most systems available in the early 90's as I could get my hands on. Including the likes of but not limited to TMNT, Rifts, Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer, Vampire and Werewolf. My D&D set was 2nd edition with 2.5 stuff added in as it came out. I was still running second edition during lockdown, then we got my friends wee girl the 5e intro set and I was gonna run it for her... I didn't like 3rd, 3.5 or 4th, I didn't have any inclination to when look at 5th until I started looking at that for her. Well, I've sold all my 2nd ed stuff (don't worry I got a good fair price) I bought this and I couldn't be happier its great. The art is awesome the text is clear and well laid out and most importantly the rules are clear and work well. All in all I'm over the moon!

I've been playing D&D now for around two years, starting with 5e and mostly using friends books alongside free printouts I've gotten online. Seeing as I'll be DMing myself in the near future, I finally decided to drop some cash on the core rulebooks and a DM screen since it seems more convenience to have all the 'necessary' information in front of me rather than loading up websites, printing off questionable sources of info and asking friends to pass their copy every 2 minutes. As somebody who owned none of the rulebooks or DM screen, this is a bargain compared to the cost of buying it all individually, plus it all comes in a nice looking display box. The price of the books does still make me shake my head a little, but the convenience of having them and presentation of them at least leaves them as a nice collection to my bookshelf that will actually be used fairly regularly. I would say that if you have none of the books and want to buy them, this is definitely the option for you since (as of writing this) it is, as I said, cheaper than buying it all individually. If you already own one or two items from this boxset, I would look at buying the remaining items individually since the box and foil covers really aren't worth doubling up on books you already have.

Great quality, everything you need for starting your first campaign

Perfect for a new starter to D and D. Nicely presented and easy to use.

I have owned the D&D handbooks in digital format for quiet some time but decided that I would really like a physical copy for myself. I found this set on sale and was sold straight away. The books contain everything new and veteran players would need to host/participate in a game (although two of the books are most certainly geared towards those that are existing DMs or are wanting to become the DM) and they held in a delightful slipcase along with a DM screen. Please wit what I have and the books are beautiful to flip through. Whether it's for yourself or as a gift I doubt you'd be disappointed with this product. Many reviews seem to mention damage through transit, but I was fortunate enough to get everything in one piece.

it was a good buy i love it.

This is a beautiful set that arrived without damage (but easily could have been damaged as it was shipped by Amazon in a thin bag only, without bubble wrap). The slip cover has some bumps but they look like a production error and are hardly visible so that's ok. The books/screen were all in excellent condition and look great, inside and out.

Llegaron en perfectas condiciones y tienen muy buena calidad

this is a gorgeous set of books. the special edition foil covers look impressive and your friends will be envious. the photos don't do it justice. also the covers don't look anything like the product photos. i started playing D&D back in the 80s with the famous red box. i moved and gotten rid of my D&D books a while ago and missed the ability to play. i had been watching these and picked them up on a nice sale. i have to say that these books are far better than the old 2nd edition books i had. the information is far more clear and standardized to make it easier for new players, and old players to the updated rules. the information is in logical order and contains everything you need to make characters and adventures and to start playing right away except for the dice. you can also go on the D&D website to get character sheets to print off, rather than trying to photocopy them from the book. every aspect of the game has been updated for the better. the rules encompass far more gameplay settings and ideas, the artwork inside is beautiful. being an experienced D&D player for many decades but new to 5th edition i wasn't expecting to be impressed by these books but just regain the familiar texts, but everything is so excellent its gotten me excited to start playing D&D again. i can't overstate how great these books are.

Desde hace algunos años he sido jugador de D&D pero nunca me había decidido a guiar un partida como DM, compré estos libros pensando en hacerlo y ya que tenían un acabado "premium", me interesaban. El envío fue rápido y el material vino bien, no tiene ninguna abolladura y en principio, el papel es de calidad. Aún así, estos libros los están regalando de forma digital en D&D Beyond, por lo que realmente no te hacen falta a no ser que seas coleccionista.
