Pocket-sized adventure, pocket-sized content.

Just like the name promises, this Dungeons & Dragons Pocket Guide really fits in your pocket — and that’s both its charm and its limit. It’s a quick, entertaining read with great layout and visuals, perfect for flipping through on the go or between sessions.

I just wish there was a bit more substance to make it useful as a true mini compendium. As it is, it’s more of a “read once and smile” book than a real reference guide. Still, a delightful little treasure for any D&D fan!

Extremely useful. I was worried when my players asked questions, how much to share as they are citizens of the realm after all, but I did not want to spoil anything, and this booklet holds just the right amount of information that one would know of dwarfs, dragons and the many towns of the realm.

Great little intro to D&D

[James Biser · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a thorough explanation of a dungeons and dragons world and the characters and monsters that exist in it. It is fascinating as a read. It makes readers excited to engage in the game.

It was a good smaller introduction to d&d. Its just bits of interesting information that makes you want to learn more.
