I’ve been running Dungeons & Dragons games since I was about 17 - over 20 years now. So anytime the chance to get a sourcebook or adventure that I haven’t already scoured or conquered with my intrepid players, I jump on it. Fortunately, this year’s Black Friday deals include a whole library of manuals at prices that are hard to beat during the rest of the year.
I’ve picked out a few sourcebooks and adventures that are chock full of new challenges, new character options, new monsters, and new stuff to keep me and my gaming group on our toes. And this is just scratching the surface of all the greatD&D Black Friday dealsout there, including some of the bestDungeons and Dragons books, not to mention the chance to get a few othergreat TTRPGs on a two for three deal this year.
