CraftyCrocodile Melarqt Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit 5th Edition with Complete Starter Pack - 6 D&D Dice Sets in Black Bags and DND Beginners Printable Materials

I am so excited. My family is getting together this weekend so we can play this game. It gives us many options to learn how to play including D&D groups to join online. As well as extras to help me learn the game more. And if you are silly like I am and didn't realize that some of the extras are printable you may feel like you miss out. But you don't. They sent me a card with most of my extras with it. And the card gives 3 options. One of those Awesome options will give you the extras. I also am so grateful I got the bigger pack because the dice are beautiful. I received: a postcard sized paper with 3 options to receive my bonus pack, a paper to show where to go for more D&D fun, my adventure book, my essentials rule book, 7 set of dice, cards (3 combat, 9 Initiative, 9 Character, 9 Quest, 15 Magic Charm, and 35 Magic Item Cards), a box for the cards (see pic), a divider with helpful guides on the other side, a map (sword coast on one side and Phandalin on the flip side), 6 character sheets ( basic info on one side and your characters detail info you write in on the flip side (examples are attacks and spell casting and flaws etc) . I really like how this seems like a complete pack to learning the game it's perfect for what I want. To teach my husband and I how D&D gameplay is. As well to see if we can get others interested to keep a weekly game going. I hope I didn't miss anything on what this nicely put together essentials pack gives you. I did notice they have a starter pack as well, but I believe both games are learner games. After we play I will come back of we decide that it is NOT for a starter game. and if I don't than the game was perfect for learning D&D

Aunque el paquete llegó un poco mallugado, la caja llegó en buenas condiciones. Al ser una regalo para mi sobrino aún no podría hacer una buena reseña del producto en sí, en cuantó juguemos dejaremos una mejor reseña.

A good alternative to the Starter Kit. I bought both, and I’m not regretting it. Only note that for both sets, the key thing you’re really purchasing is the campaign book. For the Essential Kit, I chose the one with the dice set and the extras, so I don’t have to purchase the dice separately. The extra content is good, and if you intend to go digital eventually, this is also ideal as you get a 50% discount on the PHB digital version. For me, I’ll still be purchasing hard copy. I read online that it is possible to fuse this and the starter kit campaign and run concurrently so if you’re thinking of doing that, definitely buy both. Between this and the starter kit, if you’re entirely new and have no clue what D&D is about, go for the starter kit. You don’t have to worry about the character creation and just jump into the thick of the game. If you have a little experience, or are ambitious, or have someone experienced who is willing to run the game for you, then Essential Kit is good to have as you’ll get more fluidity. Nevertheless, character sheets are online with Basic Rules for free, so this is really, in my opinion, a purchase of the campaign, and the hardware (book, dice, spell cards, and DM screen, etc). I would’ve preferred the character sheet in A4 size for printing though, and for filing in folders I suppose.

We picked up this Dungeons and Dragons Essentials Kit bundle for our VAL (Veteran Adventure League) game nights, and it's been perfect! Having everything included—six dice sets, item cards, quest cards, and character sheets—makes running sessions so much easier. Everyone gets their own dice, which keeps gameplay flowing smoothly. The cards and sheets help our group stay organized and focused on the adventure. It's a great all-in-one package with solid quality components. Our VAL crew has had some truly memorable game nights with it. Highly recommend for any gaming group!

It's great! I got everything that it said I was going to get, and I got a pretty cool white sparkle dice set.
