Keep it simple your first time. Bring a water bottle, some non-messy snacks, a couple pencils, some paper to write notes. If you want to invest, buy a set of gaming dice for yourself. Try making a level 1 character if you feel up to it, using DNDBeyond to help you with the rules and options.

Most D&D sessions fall within the range of 3 to 7 hours. This timeframe offers a balance between allowing for meaningful gameplay and ensuring that players and the Dungeon Master don't become too tired.

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle is the campaign included in the 2022 version of the Starter Set and is one of the shortest yet most entertaining D&D campaigns for novice groups to play.

The Ranger has earned itself a bad name and many regard it as the worst class in 5e, as many of its abilities are highly situational.

1) In terms of sheer power, the most overpowered class in D&D 5e is (and almost always has been, in all editions) the Wizard. The spells a Wizard can command can solve just about any problem, and beat any opponent.

The warlock and sorcerer are one of D&D 5e's most infamous multiclass combos. A build combining the two is often dubbed the "coffeelock." This build takes advantage of the warlock's ability to regain spell slots on a short rest and the D&D 5e sorcerer's ability to convert spell slots into sorcery points.
