Pros and cons
What we like
- Collection of rules options for the world's best-known roleplaying game
- Useful to both players and dungeon masters
- Written with the wizard Tasha's lore as a frame
- Adds material to a campaign already in progress
What may bother
- An expansion, not a standalone game; core rulebooks are required
- Of no use to someone who does not play D&D
- Players may already own it, so check first
Our verdict
86 / 100Pick it for someone who is already deep in a campaign, whether at the table every week or running one as a dungeon master. Do not give it to a newcomer: they need the core books first.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the core rulebooks to use this?
Yes, it's an expansion meant to be used alongside the D&D 5th edition core rulebooks.
Is it useful for players or just dungeon masters?
