The Best D&D Gifts Under $50
There’s no denying that Dungeons & Dragons has become more popular than ever in recent years, thanks to which the tabletop community as a whole has seen a massive boom of new players filling out character sheets and rolling dice. But, D&D (or any tabletop game, really) can be an expensive hobby, so here are some of our favorite D&D gifts that won’t break the bank.
Best D&D Books & Adventures of 2022
Whether you’re shopping for someone running the game, rolling their first character, or ending the fifth campaign this year, you can never go wrong with a new book. This year’s new releases have sent players to space, through mystical regions of the astral planes, expanded on fan-favorite settings and introduced a whole new book of monsters with updated rules and playable races.
Other Awesome Tabletop RPGs
While D&D may be the oldest tabletop roleplaying game, there are tons of other amazing RPGs to experience as well. Whether they’re tied into your favorite video game or movie franchise, or just a great set of rules from independent developers, these are some of our favorite TTRPGs that aren’t Dungeons & Dragons.
Of course, if you don’t see anything here, our favorite thing to reccommend is that you pay a visit to your friendly local gaming store! They’ll almost definitely be able to help you find the game that’s right for you.
Best D&D/RPG Accessories of 2022
If you’re playing D&D in person, odds are you’ve got the basics covered: some dice, a few character sheets, and maybe a mini or two. But there’s a whole world of useful (or just really cool) accessories out there to help make your game that much more fun – these are some of our favorites this year.
Best D&D Minis of 2022
Regardless of whether or not you’re actually playing D&D versus another TRPG, odds are at some point your heroes are going to face off against a monster, or a legion of bad guys, or a legion of monstrous bad guys. While you certainly can play that all out in your imagination, we think it’s way more interesting to bust out the minifigs. These are our favorite miniatures that will make great gifts for the RPG gamer in your life.
