Hi, I can't ignore all the positive things I'm hearing about D100 and I'm ready to give it a try. I suspect I'm going to really enjoy it and would like to ask what is recommended beyond the book 1. I'd prefer to place a single order with DriveThru. I'd guess Book 1 & 2 for my initial order but thought it worth asking the expert. ;)
Also, Is there a Discord Server dedicated to D100?
Thank you!!!
Welcome to the D100 Dungeon family!
Having played since v2 back in 2018, I know you will love this game / game system.
I was fortunate to pick up each of the supplemental books and accessories slowly over time as they came out, so I was never overwhelmed. That said, I feel pretty confident in the following advice.
I would say if you had to pick just ONE addition to the Book 1 Basic Rules, I would actually advise Book 6 World Builder.
Now, Book 2 Adventurer’s Companion has some great supplemental rules, which I use all the time. And it has a fantastic full campaign with side quests that could keep you entertained for months! So if you could get 3 books out of the gate I’d highly recommend Book 2 as well as Book 6.
But regardless, you will start with Book 1. And I strongly advise putting any supplement(s) aside and jump in with Book 1 alone for your first Adventurer. Play through the first 5 starting Quests and then keep Questing to build up your Adventurer’s as well as your own experience with the game. Maybe even make another Adventurer or two with different stats to see how differently the game can unfold.
When you feel comfortable with the flow of dungeon delving, combat and questing, I think you should expand to the incredible fun of building a world, YOUR world, in which your Adventurer travels and explores, as well as quests, with Book 6.
