A new introductory boxed set for Dungeons & Dragons is on the near horizon and Target stores will carry the release exclusively for over two months. The Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit features a new starter rulebook as well as a fresh introductory adventure, Dragon of Icespire Peak, designed for character levels one to three. While it doesn’t appear dice are in the set it does look like there is a DM’s screen. The D&D Essentials Kit will carry an MSRP of $24.95 and be available at Target on June 24th and everywhere else on September 3rd.
Everything you need to create characters and play the new adventures in this introduction to the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Dungeons & Dragons is a cooperative storytelling game that harnesses your imagination and invites you to explore a fantastic world of adventure, where heroes battle monsters, find treasures, and overcome quests. The D&D Essentials Kit is a new introductory product meant to bring D&D to audiences interested in jumping into a fantasy story.
This box contains the essentials you need to run a D&D game with one Dungeon Master and one to five adventurers. A newly designed rulebook on-boards players by teaching them how to make characters, and the included adventure, Dragon of Icespire Peak, introduces a new 1-on-1 rules variant.
