I'm really interested in tabletop roleplaying games, and I'd love to try Dungeons and Dragons. But there are so many rule books and "flavor" books and different editions of each that it's hard to know what to get (not to mention they're quite expensive). So what should a completely new player buy to get started? What's necessary to play the game? |

| + | : It depends on what edition you're going to play. You should start off by finding a group to play with and ask them if they'll help you learn. But, the main book you'll need for any edition is the Player's Handbook, often referred to as the PHB. This book is pretty much how to make a character and includes everything necessary for a player to play the game in general. The other thing required is some dice. A set of dice is generally fine enough; a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and a d20. --[[User:TK-Squared|TK]] 12:09, July 29, 2010 (UTC) |
