D&D team responds to Heroes of the Borderlands criticism with new content — exclusive look
The Heroes of the BorderlandsD&D starter set, released Sept. 16, is meant to woo board game players looking for an easy introduction to tabletop role-playing. While I feel the set did a great job of simplifying the Dungeons & Dragons 2024 rules and provided a collection of high-quality props that made it worth the $50 price tag, my Polygon write-up criticized Heroes of the Borderlands for failing to connect the elements of its sandbox adventure and not giving first-time DMs sufficient resources to expand on plots that players might want to pursue.
