D&D’s best adventures are buy 2, get 1 free at Amazon and Target

Dungeons & Dragons will launch a revised 5th edition ruleset in 2024, promising full compatibility with existing adventures. That makes now a great time to pick up a few great campaigns for Black Friday. The biggest deals this year come in bulk, with buy 2, get 1 free sales at both Target and Amazon. But Amazon has already discounted some excellent books that make great standalone purchases — including highly-recommended adventures like Curse of Strahd and Tyranny of Dragons, which are both at seasonal low prices.

Another huge draw is Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen Deluxe Edition, which bundles the excellent new Dragonlance campaign book with the exciting Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn board game co-designed by Rob Daviau (Pandemic Legacy, Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West). Priced at $69.99, that’s a more than 45% discount over the original $155 price tag that Wizards placed on pre-orders. Alternately, you could pick up the Warriors of Krynn board game by itself, which has also been discounted down to $50.99.

Finally, WizKid’s newest over-the-top terrain set is called The Watchtower, and it only just started shipping this week. It’s a modular headquarters ready to become your gaming group’s bastion — or the setting for your campaign’s most climactic encounters. Originally priced at $289.99, it’s now down to $217.49.
