If you're aiming to assist a new D&D player in diving into the world of tabletop RPGs, consider grabbing the Dungeons & Dragons: The Young Adventurer's Collection Box Set while it's available for just $15 (usually $35) during Cyber Monday. This four-book set is crafted to guide new players through everything from equipping their characters with weapons and spells to navigating dungeons. Both Young Adventurer's box sets come in paperback, but hardcover versions are also sold separately, often at a discount. This includes some books not included in either collection, such as Characters & Quests. Check the list below for links to the discounted Young Adventurer box sets and hardcover editions.
For seasoned adventurers or those seeking content for a more mature audience, the new Worlds & Realms: Adventures From Greyhawk to Faerun And Beyond hardcover book offers an in-depth look at the D&D universe. Filled with lore, history, and short stories, along with art from every edition of D&D over its 50-year history, it's available on Amazon for $25 (originally $50).
While these books are ideal for exploring D&D's lore, if you're keen on learning the game rules and jumping into play, consider one of the D&D starter kits on sale, like the Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Starter Set for $15.69 (usually $20). This kit includes a mini-rulebook, adventure book, character sheets, dice, and more. Alternatively, the D&D Essentials Kit provides a similar set of materials but focuses on five one-shot adventures.
To delve deeper, you'll need the D&D core rulebooks, which offer comprehensive rules and guidelines for both players and dungeon masters. The 2024 editions of the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide are available for $45 each (normally $50). You can also preorder a bundle including the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and the upcoming Monster Manual for $140 (originally $150). The Monster Manual is also available separately for $50. Both the bundle and the Monster Manual launch on February 18, 2025. Additionally, you can purchase a bundle of 50 official D&D 2024 character sheets for $14 (usually $15).
With the core rulebooks and character sheets, you're nearly set to play—just add dice. For those eager to dive into a premade campaign, check out the many Adventure Books available, many of which are currently discounted. You can find multi-campaign bundles for settings like Planescape and Spelljammer, or standalone modules like Princes of the Apocalypse, Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, and more. All these D&D deals and more are linked below, with some eligible for Amazon's Buy 2 Get 1 promo.
