Dungeons and Dragons is something that is very close to my heart, and I’ve written extensively on it in the past. It is a very unique game that can be very therapeutic for its players. It’s a game where you can get together with your friends and forget about the world outside for a few hours.

So what do you get someone that is a fan of D&D, especially if you don’t possess a lot of knowledge on the topic? It can be tricky, because the campaign books can be expensive, and picky players or dungeon masters might not be interested in campaigns that are placed within a specific world or setting. In my experience, it’s best to avoid those kinds of D&D gifts, because although they are a huge amount of fun, they are also a huge amount of work for the dungeon master.

There are also other things to consider when buying a gift for a D&D player: do they play in person or online? Are they a player, or what’s known as a “forever DM” (like me!) Do they often use miniatures and maps, or do they have their players use their own imaginations to build their worlds? Do they listen to specific D&D YouTube shows or podcasts? Once you’ve established this, it might be easier to find a good D&D gift for that special person in your life.

Here are some great gift ideas you can start off with!
