Fans finally have more details about the newest starter set for D&D. Titled Dungeons & Dragons: Dragons of Stormwreck IsleThis boxed edition of D&D Direct will sell for $49.99 and include digital content. Wizards of the Coast provided scant details on Thursday, during the D&D Direct streaming presentation. In February, Hasbro revealed the title and price.

It comes with an introduction rulebook, Dungeon Masters adventure book, blue plastic dice and pre-generated character sheets. Images of the package show this. But it’s the pricing that’s most confusing here.

It’s currently going for just $13.29 on Amazon. You can also find the amazing Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit is exactly that — essential for getting started with the game — with rules for sidekicks, a double-sided paper map, dice, and 81 cards for tracking magic items, conditions, and more.
