Everything You Need to Start D&D 5.5 For Free
How can you get started with D&D 5.5/2024 without spending any gold pieces?
New community member GW asks:
Hi everyone. I learned about DnD but thought it was going to be too hard way back in about 8th grade, so that was like 1989. The books and the rules were very different than they are today.
I really didn’t learn to play until my mid 20’s which would have been about the mid 90’s I would love to get back into DnD but everything has radically changed. Now there are props, and little guys everywhere.
It looks like fun, but I am really afraid of the cost and also of finding a group willing to teach a noob like me all the new stuff I can do.
Here was my response:
Ahoy! Thanks for posting. And welcome to the community!
