A game master's starter pack to get your first campaign going, D&D or otherwise

A bunch of tabletop deals pictured.

One does not simply walk into D&D dungeon mastering. It takes discipline, authority, and above all, a large sum of cash... usually. Luckily there are a bunch of resources to get you started on your first D&D campaign that won't break the bank, so I've brought a bunch together here for your perusal.

Aside from checking out our 5 tips on starting your campaign right, it's always good to brush up on techniques from relevant TTRPG books, and get some physical components in your arsenal that are necessary for a D&D campaign. This includes stuff you might not have thought of yet, like spare pencils for your players (because writing in pen is sacrilege). Even a speaker or lighting setup to get a little atmosphere going.

So, if you're serious about starting your D&D campaign (or adventures for any of the best tabletop RPGs, in fact) on the right foot, and making a good impression on your new players, the below deals should let you do so without emptying your coin purse in the process.
