That’s at least what my mentality was before I got an emergency jump starter. The Gooloo GP40

D&D‘s latest revamp of its core rulebooks were designed knowing that, without a starter set immediately available, they would be the jumping-on point for legions of new TTRPG players. A “show, not tell” approach wove itself through the new Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master’s Guide to provide better onboarding for players of all experience levels. But now that a new starter kit is actually on the way, Wizards of the Coast looks like it’s going to leverage that nascent familiar
