- Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2025Verified Purchasegreat daughter in law loved it

- Reviewed in Canada on June 9, 2025Verified PurchaseIt a book, alright.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 24, 2024Verified PurchaseFirst off lets get the obvious thing out of the way, the damage to the inside of the bottom corners of the hardcover. Bottom front in minor, and the bottom rear is a little more significant. Does not affect the outer cover images, but for a new book just released this should not have occurred. Shows poor quality control on the part of Wizards/Hasbro.
As for the updated rules, there are things I like, things I do not, and things that make me scratch my head and go why. What I do really like is the layout out of the book, everything is clear and concisely organized and easy to find. And as always the artwork is just stellar, hopefully their AI initiative will not ruin that in the near to certain future. A few things, one is it necessary to update to the new rules? I would say probably not, and they indicated that they are placing the updated rules into the common creative license allowing you to have access to them for free. Now the issue there is that on D&D Beyond, with the book released you do not have access to all the rules as they stated within D&D Beyond and I believe they require a subscription for that access. Essentially they are making you pay for the book without buying it in physical or digital form then.
Overall some of the new systems and changes are good offering better options while at the same time not really doing much to improve the game. Basically it is a fresh coat of paint to keep buying into their ecosystem. I am a fan, but am glad I paid below cover price at $46 Canadian instead of the $60 USD price tag they were shipping these books at. Is it worth the buy, that depends on the buyer but I recommend you look into other options that allow you to use the creative commons license to look at the books in full before determining if you want to invest.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2025Verified PurchaseIt’s not just hype, I’ve been playing since the start and they finally it got it almost perfect (I don’t want to get hate mail).
- Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2025Verified PurchaseI'm impressed with this new edition. It takes you step by step through the process of playing the game and creating a character. It's much easier to understand than the 5e handbook. A seasoned player probably wouldn't need this book but if you're new to the game, or if you've played before but didn't always truly understand what's going on, this is the handbook for you.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2025Verified PurchaseSeveral of my relatives as well as I liked to play Dungeons and Dragons when we get the chance. This book was bought for one of them. It was very well received. Of course it is a more updated source on certain of the games informatioin. The point is it is very much appreciated a book. The seller is thanked ofr sending along in good time as well as in good condition.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2024Verified PurchaseNot many people have been able to follow the entire evolution of D&D, but I think, by now, just about everyone and their grandmother has at least heard of it in some form or another.
This 2024 Revised Edition of the 2014 Players Handbook breathes new life into the game, adding almost 400 pages to the existing library of tabletop gaming options, as well as forming the backbone for new D&D roleplaying sourcebooks in years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, It's Great
Verified PurchaseLengthy read ahead. I'll include a tl;dr at the bottom for those who can't be bothered.
1. Physical Properties of the Book
I think that the book is lovely. I found the artwork to be nice, it's a solid and hefty book, and the print makes everything perfectly legible. I am not including damage in this section, not because mine showed up in near mint condition (which it did - there are about five pages with extremely slight wrinkling that I didn't even notice at first), but because a lot of the damage I've seen in the photos in other reviews are due to 鶹's careless handling of items rather than any fault of WotC/Hasbro.
2. Approachable
A lot of care went into ensuring that new players can find their way into D&D. The writers crafted the book to be extremely approachable, to explain things clearly and in detail, without it seeming overwhelming. There are great breakdowns included, the examples are great and really easy to follow, and the simplified explanations of what things mean help entry into the game to be less daunting for newbies. This also provides easier clarification for more seasoned players who may have stumbled onto questions in the minutia of the game.
3. Content
Everything feels nicely fleshed out. The classes and sub-classes offer a nice variety, even without having tons of new things added here. There are plenty of backgrounds to choose from and having your backgrounds modify your ability scores, provide origin feats, etc. is a nice touch that makes a lot of sense. I wasn't quite as sure about this, honestly, when I first heard about it. But as I've thought on it more and looked at how it's implemented, I feel like it's logical to say, "The scores I rolled are from genetics. This is how my character developed as he grew. The adjustments that I received from my background reflect the specialized training that my character underwent. My rogue's criminal background made him train to be nimble and dexterous (+2 to dex) and he had to learn to be mindful and clever (+1 to int). On that same line of thought, coming with the Alert feat makes sense, since he had to be constantly aware of his surrounding, watching for marks, for guards, rivals, etc." There are also enough races (referred to as species in this series) to get you going. Other reviews are correct in saying that there are no half-races anymore. What they seem to fail to realize is that, as race no longer affects stats in a meaningful way, you can simply say, "My character is a half-elf." You can easily modify the traits you DO get from race. Your half-elf's eyes are not quite as good as a full-blooded elf, so your dark vision is only 30 feet, but you also gain the human's Heroic Inspiration after a long rest (just as a potential example). After all, the book is just a guide, not an absolute. We are encouraged to tweak things to fit our tables. The addition of weapon mastery is a lot of fun, as it allows you to further craft your own play style in the game. There is also great information included to make it easy to figure out costs of services of all sorts to help bring your cities, towns, and settlements to life, as well as enough basic stat blocks for simple critters to get you started populating your world. For people, just roll them up if you have to fight them and create your own basic templates for villagers' stats and the like. Easy peasy.
4. The Rules Glossary
Appendix C, the Rules Glossary, starts on page 360. It offers you a handy, alphabetical list of rules, stretching on until page 377. Fantastic.
5. New Edition?
I mean, not really. At least, not right now. Sure, there's new stuff. There are changes. There's also information on how to modify older edition stuff to fit these changes. You can absolutely take an adventure module from a previous edition and use this book to tweak things. If the DM's Guide is constructed similarly to the PHB, then there should be no problems at all with making a basically seamless change. That said, there promises to be more changes coming with the DMG. That may make things feel like it's a new edition, depending on the scope of changes that come. We will have to see.
6. Gatekeepers and Whiners
Claims that it's being "dumbed down," that it's "no longer D&D," that "ThEy TeRk Er HaLf-RaCeS!" and all the rest are just people gatekeeping, whining, or forgetting that the core rulebooks aren't absolutes. The beauty of D&D is that *you get to use the core rulebooks as guides to change things to fit the needs of your game.* If you're too lazy or too unimaginative to create your own half-races, then play an older edition. Railing on about how it's stupid and broken and not worth the money because you're incapable of dealing with it is asinine. Don't like that it's "dumbed down?" Cool. That doesn't mean it's broken, though. It's written to invite new players of all skill levels. Getting more people into D&D is a *GOOD* thing. "It's no longer D&D!" Well, that's just stupid. You don't get to decide what is or isn't Dungeons & Dragons. If you don't like this edition, don't play it. But just because it doesn't fit your narrow view doesn't mean that it's not D&D.
Basically, just remember that the game you play at your table is *yours.* Don't let people who are crying over a game that is notoriously complicated for new players being made more friendly to new players scare you away from buying this book. If you're worried, I suggest you check out a copy at a local gaming store. In fact, if possible, purchase it from there, as well. Support your local game shops. If that's NOT possible and you buy it here, only to find out it's not for you, you can always return it.
7. TL;DR
It's pretty, it's a solid entry into the game system, and I personally like the changes. If you are scared by the people's reviews about how it's too dumbed down, how it's no longer D&D, etc., at least read point 6 above, since it directly addresses the gatekeepers and whiners. I personally feel it's worth the investment, especially if you are brand new or planning to bring brand new players into the game. I would not necessarily buy it to put into an existing campaign, but it's potentially great for a new campaign or if you only play one-shots. If possible, support your local game store and buy it there instead of here. The end.
