D&D (2024) What's In D&D's New Starter Set?

There's a new Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set, titled Heroes of the Borderlands, coming in September. WotC has given us a quick peek at what's inside! The set is designed to be replayable, and comes with maps and cards, which are presumably part of the tile-based character creation system WotC has hinted at recently. The video doesn't reveal much else, but we should have more information over the coming months.

Meant to be replayable.

I don't like that keep map at all.

I don't like that keep map at all.

Because??

One of the big questions I get when I announced Bugbears&Borderlands 2e was if I was doing a boxed set. Obviously I don't have the budget WoTC has to put out stuff like that, but needless to say I'm curious as to the content of this starter set. Does it have all of the rules? Looks like tokens instead of minis?

Also card based character sheets….

Interesting. Cant watch the video right now, but the images are intriguing.

I really hope this is good. Starter sets can have a real outsized impact on a new player's experience. And the more new players in the hobby the better.

Not much else really.

Because??

Fair Question. It's very steril and clean looking. I want my borderlands rough and tumble.

I liked this 3d rendering more.
