Your guide to a better future

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day , CNET's guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.

Over the pandemic, my husband and I really got into Dungeons and Dragons , the fantasy tabletop role-playing game that combines collaborative storytelling with probability and luck, based on your dice rolls. If you approach your campaign with enthusiasm and put effort into your character and roleplaying, you'll have a fun, unique experience. 

So far my husband and I have played a few one-shots and a couple of campaigns, and everything we've played has fed the addiction. We now have a house full of every kind of dice, dice towers, miniatures, fantasy art and, most importantly, player's handbooks and campaigns. If you've ever wanted to try the game out, now's your chance. Nearly all the player's handbooks and campaign books are on sale right now for Amazon Prime Day.

Most of the books are on sale for 30% to 50% off right now, making it a great time to start your collection of books or add to it.
