That's it! If you want to add some tactical complexity to your games, you can pick up some miniatures and battle maps, but really the only thing you need is your imagination!Īnd some dice. You can join the official D&D Adventurer's League, which often hosts games at local hobby and game stores and helps link people up online (though they do maintain strict adherence to the rules as written, so no homemade content/rules can be used), or find groups through sites like Reddit, D&D Beyond, Roll20 and more. If you're having trouble getting a group together on your own, there are some great resources out there for finding party members.

You can, of course, have a group full of as many people as you like, though too many players at a table can make things exceptionally complicated - doubly so if you're all new to the game. You can play with just two, now that they've released the "two-player rules" with the new D&D Essentials Kit, though (in our experience) the best group is a DM ("Dungeon Master", or often "Game Master" in games that don't have Dungeon in the title), who adjudicates the rules and helps guide the story, and 3 to 5 players to make up an adventuring party.

You can find RPG dice in almost any color or material you might want online - or you can probably get them by the scoopful at your local hobby shop! You can also use digital dice rollers online, though there's nothing quite like the feel and sound of actual dice hitting an actual table. A full set of D&D dice contains (at least): You'll also need at least one set of polyhedral dice, though I recommend every player have at least one (and maybe get a few spares for the table). If you want to expand your tool kit, you can also pick up the Dungeon Master's Guide, which has tips for running the game as well as additional, optional and variant rules that you can use.

You can find the full ruleset for D&D 5E in the Player's Handbook, or you can get the short version of the rules if you download the DnD Basic Rules for free. While there are a ton of great books, tools, and toys out there that all help take a DnD game to the next level, you don't actually need a whole lot to get started.
