Wizards of the Coast has made the D&D Basic Rules a completely free PDF that can be downloaded from their website.
In this guide we’ll take a brief look at what has been released so far for D&D 5E, and then I’ll give some more detailed information about what I’d recommend people actually buy, depending on where they are with D&D. I’ll do my best to keep this article updated as new products are released for 5th edition.
While my video Buyer’s Guide has been extremely popular I thought it would be wise to have a text version of this guide here as well.
