Thats cute but also terrifying. I love bears but something primal in me wants to run anytime I see a video of them.

Totally fair, I started with the starter myself. I just know I put off buying the books for forever because I thought I needed all of them which would have been like $150, when really the PHB is 90% of the value (imo)

Hope you guys have fun in the realms!

If you do decide to buy the full books the Player’s Handbook should be your priority. I’ve been playing on and off with friends for awhile now and its all we’ve ever needed. The others are great for designing adventures but not really required for playing, and I’ve been able to find any statblocks I need online easily. But when its time to create a character, level up, or lookup a spell the handbook is great to have around.
