Tomorrow is the “big” day for this new group.

It’s our first time meeting up for starters.

So a little nervous.

But the point of this post is to share what D&D books I’ll be taking with me.

You’ll notice in the photo below showing the books I’m taking there are none of the monster manuals. They are not needed for a session zero, they are a session prep thing. So they stay on the bookshelf.

But what I am taking covers most of the settings I can run a campaign in.

I’m deliberately not taking the adventure books I have incase that puts the idea of running the written adventure into their heads! Although I would use them as material about the setting if they wanted to have the campaign set in say Avernus or Ten Towns.

I’ll also have these two MtG/D&D books that won’t fit inside the bag.

If the party are happy to be based in the City of Arches then all the books come into play!

Whilst we are looking inside my DM bag here is the top compartment that is meant for minis.

But I’m using it to keep my dice, quest decks, dungeon geomorphs, dungeon decks, status cards, spare initiative cards, and inspiration tokens. To be added a dice tray.

Right next time I talk D&D it’ll be the post mortem of the session zero. See you then.
