Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Core Rulebooks Are Up for Preorder [IGN]

Preorder New D&D Revised Core Rulebooks

Player’s Handbook Core Rulebook (Dungeons & Dragons 2024)

Dungeon Master’s Guide Core Rulebook (Dungeons & Dragons 2024)

Monster Manual Core Rulebook (Dungeons & Dragons 2024)

All three of the core rulebooks are getting new editions. However, you’ll notice that they’re not all rolling out at the same time. This is due to printing limitations, but they’re coming out as close together as possible.

Preorder New D&D Accessories

In addition to the newly revised 5E rulebooks, you can preorder a new Dungeon Master’s screen and new Character Sheets.

So what’s new in these revised rulebooks? For starters, the Player’s Handbook will actually teach new players how to play D&D. In addition to offering up a list of the rules, as the previous edition did, it has a new section with advice about how to organize and run a game session. Also, all 12 character classes now have four subclasses each, bringing a grand total of 48 subclasses. There’s also a bigger focus on non-combat abilities for the characters.

Similar tweaks, additions, and assistance for new players are coming to the Dungeon Master’s Guide and Monster Manual. For a more detailed look, check out our early look at the D&D rulebook changes.
