D&D 2024 Essentials Kit

Learn How to Run a D&D Game

Easy to run for both new and experienced Dungeon Masters, the Dragon of Icespire Peak adventure book teaches you how to run a D&D game and provides detailed information about each location, quest, and monsters the heroes may encounter.

Take on the Dragon of Icespire Peak

Preying on anything it can catch with its claws or freeze with its icy breath, the young white dragon Cryovain has descended upon the Sword Coast. Driven from their usual territory, all number of beasts have begun terrorizing the mining town of Phandalin.

Protect the townsfolk, discover wondrous magic items, and defeat the dragon in an epic DUNGEONS & DRAGONS adventure.

Create Your Own Character

Use the blank character sheets provided to create your own D&D characters. The included rulebook will guide players through the character creation process and provide all the information they need to level up as they complete quests.

Dragon of Icespire Peak can be played with a group as small as one adventurer and one Dungeon Master. To run the game for a single player, just let them choose a “sidekick” to join their party. Nine sidekick options are included with personality descriptions and an illustrated card for each.

Everything You Need in One Box

Monsters to fight, spells to cast, and dice to roll in combat—get everything you need to start playing D&D, all in one box.

Beyond the essentials, this kit also includes fun handouts for players and accessories that make running the game easier. When a character discovers a magic item, pass them a card to unveil its wonders. Keep combat running smoothly with cards that track player order and explain conditions. And open up a whole world for your players to explore with a double-sided poster map.
