The new edition of Dungeons & Dragons has exceeded all expectations and confounded critics by becoming the fastest-selling D&D product of all time, outstripping Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything and previous versions of the Player’s Handbook, aka the PHB.

This makes a lot of sense, as the PHB is the core rulebook for Dungeons & Dragons, featuring character creation rules, special abilities, spells and the like. The new book has an illustrated equipment section, and the game itself is more streamlined. It is compatible with the previous fifth edition of the game, which simply revises and improves on existing mechanics.

Jess Lanzillo, a  spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast, told the press, “Our team has been analyzing feedback from players since the release of the 2014 Player’s Handbook and have worked hard and thoughtfully to implement it into the new core rulebooks to create something that we hope everyone will enjoy.”

The new Dungeon Masters Guide, which is required for those seeking to run the game for their friends, comes out on November 12th. Wizards of the Coast has produced an all-encompassing playlist for the PHB, which includes everything you need to know, information about new spells and new feats, backgrounds, and species.
