3 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Starter Set
The 5th a Edition Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set does not try and raise the bar for a newbie product. It settles into the comfortable niche established by many other WotC starter products of the past. It is not exceptional but neither is it terrible. It’s better than other recent sets but doesn’t offer anything new. It’s firmly average.But… at the end of the day, a Starter Set lives and dies by how successful the adventure is in play and how easy it is to learn. And there are many, many reports of fun play sessions and first time players having a great time playing the set. It’s fun. That’s all you really need to know, and everything else is either a perk or nitpicking.
