This Fall, Wizards of the Coast will be releasing a new starter set for Dungeons & Dragons 2024. Featuring a new tile (or card) based character creation system which has previously hinted at, Heroes of the Borderlands will feature a full entry level adventure as well as plenty to get newcomers up and running in the world of D&D. Exact details are scarce on the starter but it is slated to arrive in September.
From WotC:
“An amazing new starter set we are creating… we are really laying into using components to teach people how to play.”
Whether you’re new to the game or bringing friends into the fold, the Fall 2025 starter set is a beginner-friendly introduction to D&D. Based on the past ten years of play, we’ve revamped the new player experience to kick off your adventures with ease regardless of your experience level.
Heroes of the Borderlands (working title) makes it easy to start playing D&D in minutes with a quick-start guide; intuitive, component-centric character creation; and a modular, introductory adventure. It reimagines B2: The Keep on the Borderlands—a classic introductory D&D adventure—for use with this boxed set by splitting the adventure into three self-contained booklets: the Caves of Chaos, the Keep on the Borderlands, and the Wilderness. Each booklet includes a short tutorial to help new and returning players learn as they go. A how-to-play video will also accompany the release.
