This makes it all the easier to find when shopping brick and mortar retailers like GameStop’s Black Friday deals or even Amazon’s online-only ones.

Dungeons and Dragons is something loved across many generations, and here are the best gifts for anyone who is into tabletop gaming.

DnD 5e can be complicated when it comes to rules, as is any edition, so getting any assortment of rulebooks, supplements, and the likes fit any level of tabletop gamer. If just starting out, it would likely be wise to snag the essential and a starter set. Otherwise, there have been several DnD 5e books to come out this year that would fit perfectly in anyone’s collection.

D20 Minis, Tiles, Mats, and Important Accessories

No game is complete with the minis, tiles, mats, and accessories to play them with. Even when playing Dungeons and Dragons online with Discord if not something like Roll20, production value can really take games to the next level, but that can be costly. Nothing here breaks the bank, but instead, is designed for those looking for new gear and providing all the basics.

A Load of Dice

Dice deserve their own category because no game is possible without dice. Dungeons and Dragons dice, from D4 to D20 (and beyond), have long become synonymous with the game and symbolized tabletop gaming’s rise to popularity. Nowadays, most people will have at least seen a D20 on a shirt or sticker or something, even if they don’t immediately recognize what it’s for. Either way, a lot of players take a lot of pride in their dice, so it’s always worth going the extra mile here.

Other Tabletop and Board Games

Of course, Dungeons and Dragons may be the one that heralded the golden age of tabletop gaming, but there is far more out there to enjoy. Other tabletop games like Pathfinder embrace the same concept, while others go in completely different directions like Vampire: The Masquerade (tabletop). Some games are more like classic board games, having players just move characters across a board toward a goal. Either way, they all fit into the greater tabletop world and would make great gifts.

Of course, Dungeons and Dragons has had a huge impact on the gaming industry, inspiring many of the first RPGs. Many of those have been around long enough to define RPGs in video games, while others have been re-released and/or ported recently like Dark Alliance and KOTOR to the Switch. Either way, a couple of games honoring tabletop’s legacy is a good holiday gift.
