WotC Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer Is A New UK Magazine To Teach D&D

As reported on the Mastering Dungeons podcast, Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer is a weekly magazine from D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast and UK magazine publisher Hachette Partworks, designed as a magazine run to teach you D&D and serve as an adventure kit.

Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer is a brand new partwork that teaches you how to play the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game, with an exclusive adventure, easy step-by-step instructions and all the background information you need to start creating your own characters and becoming a D&D expert. Collect the specially designed dice given throughout the collection and join us on a wild ride through the D&D journey of a lifetime!

Each of the first four issues also comes with a free dice set, along with bigger goodies every few deliveries, inclusing dice towers, binders, keyrings, even a DM screen. A premium subscripiton throws in miniatures, too. It's kind of a combination of loot box and magazine.

There are currently 80 weekly issues planned. The first issue is £1.99, with subsequent issues costing more at £4.99 for issue #2, and then $7.99 onwards (and the premium subscription versions more at £9.49 per week). As they're weekly, that comes to about £32 per month, or £38 for premium.

The magazine is available in UK stores or via subscription.

A premium subscription that includes miniatures.

The Hachette partworks subscription for Warhammer was pretty cool . . . . but only available in the UK.

For this new D&D partworks, also only available in the UK, they are planning at least 80 issues! I'm curious what will be in each one!

The Warhammer one was pretty good ( lots of terrain for example).
The rules in these will soon be superceded but am tempted to get the first 8 issues or so, just to see!

I think the difference was that the Warhammer one was full of mini’s at a substantial discount. Very good if you wanted to play those armies.

In this case the minis look pretty circumstantial and the rules are free. I’m struggling to see the value.

According to their site this is already on issue 3 here (UK). This is the first I've heard of this magazine. Someone in the advertising department needs a poke with a sharp stick methinks.

The conversion from Pound sterling to Dollars is not what it used to be. It works out to about 11.25$ for the premium set. The whole thing also looks more for new players getting into the game and gives out a lot of dice and minis so I'm not sure how much story you are getting. I would buy the first few issues if available in the USA. Would continue to buy if they came with little 3-5 room dungeons each week.

The pound fell very heavily recently, but that's not a topic for this forum so I won't go into it.

I love this. Another great onramp method to encourage people to join the hobby.

 

[Rhineglade]

I always think dice towers are a complete waste of money but the one they are offering looks VERY cool!

 

[Henadic Theologian]

It's not offered on Canada or outside of the UK is just goofy, it manages to be a poor substitute even for Dragon+ never mind the glorious OG Dragon and Dungeon magazines.
