The Complete Starter Set: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Game 2E

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Picture a fantastic world filled with monsters, treaures, and daring deeds waiting to be done. Imagine crumbling stone towers and mysterious underground dungeons waiting to be explored and plundered. Imagine yourself as a mighty hero, a cunning wizard, or a stealthy thief, facing every danger with your sword or your magic.

The ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGON game is the best-selling fantasy role-playing game ever published. In it, two to seven players control the actions of imaginary warriors, wizards, and other heroes in battles against fierce monsters for gold and glory.

This box contains everything you need to play ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS:

- The Player's Handbook outlines the basic rules, expanded rules, and magic spells.
- The DUNGEON MASTER Guide provides special information for the game master, and three thrilling adventures;
- The MONSTROUS MANUAL is filled with ferocious monsters and rich treasures;
- A full-color dungeon map gets your first adventures started right away;*
- Six hero cards give complete details on the game characters;*
- A stand-up screen contains the information the Dungeon Master needs to run the game;*
- Six plastic figures represent the players' characters;*
- Seven different types of dice control the action;*
- The Book of Lairs provides enough adventures for hundreds of hours of play!

*Please note that this is a PDF. It does not include physical items like cards, a DM screen, etc. but might include scans/graphics of items where relevant. Dice and plastic figures are NOT included.

We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

For anyone purchasing this edition, can anyone confirm that it contains the correct pages from the "Complete Starter Set" yellow box or if it contains instead content from the similar "Introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" set, which used an audio CD instead of read-alouds?
I ask because one of the sample pages given on this item includes a box inventory page which lists the CD from the other set.
If the pages are from there instead of the correct ones from "Complete Starter Set", this would affect the read-alouds in the DM book, since "Introduction..." has CD track summaries in the adventures, instead of the proper read-alouds that should be here in "Complete..."
Can anyone confirm which is in the actual download?
(EDIT: spelling errors)

Why is this product $30 when all of the other similar starter sets are like $5-$10? (I paid less than that for a -physical- copy of this set a few years ago!)

Not only that, but Wrath of the Immortals is FREE.
WotC's pricing is anything but consistent among its products.

Can someone who buys this provide a list of what is actually included in the PDF? I'm guessing that the Core Books are abbreviated due to the file only containing 257 pages. Is it a quality scan? Thanks!

Also, POD please.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
