You’re also going to want more than one set of dice. If you look around on Amazon you can find some pretty cheap dice from Smartdealspro.

Oh, also:

• Print out multiple copies of the character sheets, one for each player, plus maybe one or two extra in case one gets messed up.
  
• Pencils, and some erasers. Pencil sharpeners if the pencils aren’t mechanical.
  
• A pen & notebook for you to keep track of stuff.
  
• Plenty of people have made up cheat sheets with all of the reference material they find useful in one place. Maybe print out a few of these, see which you find most useful in actual play.
  
  Added luxuries, if you’re flush with money:
  
  
• Dice trays, to keep the dice from rolling off the table and under the couch.
  
• It can be really handy for each player to have a clipboard to hold their character sheet, so they can write on it without taking up table space. (Can you tell I live in NYC, and game in small apartments without a lot of table space?)
  
  Some players will bring this kind of stuff on their own, but if you’ve got a group that hasn’t played before, it’s better to be prepared.

Technically you could play the whole game with a single d12 and d8 and a lot of tables.

I don't know why I would want either.

Then again, that is besides the point. For the same price I get one pack of FFG SW dice (that has to be shared at the table and, again, does not contain enough dice to make tests in one roll), I could get enough dice sets for myself and every player at my table, which can be used for most other rpgs and also look considerably nicer than the FFG dice and would still have money left over.

My suggestion is something like savage worlds. Its a simple set of rules, and has a bunch of settings available to it. You could have one table playing deadlands (weird west cowboys), another playing a super hero game, another playing a space game, and they would all be using the same basic rules and mechanics.

You can get sets of dice pretty easily and cheaply on amazon. Then you'd only need some decks of cards for savage worlds.

This is me.

I am nerdy and collect dice. I also carry a d20 with me everywhere I go - it helps in making tough decisions. These dice are on my games list. Merry Fridaymas! to you and thanks for the contest! The grocery store is our big outing for the weekend, exciting I know!

Hope you have a great weekend, /u/nessi_saltares !

I got the white and gold dice as part of this. In person they are very difficult to read though.

Just remember that you don’t have to memorize every part of the campaign sometimes it’s better to just improvise and let the characters do what they want as long as it doesn’t break anything.

And minis are very hard to get good ones if you don’t use heroforge.com honestly I just shifted through my LEGO bins and found all of the figure took them apart and let my players make their own

I recently bought a set of 7x7 dice sets with bags for each for $10.50 off Amazon. So far they work great and look pretty nice as well.

Happy birthday!

Starter Set is a good place to start if you're going to start a game as a DM or a group. You'll want, but not necessarily need, more dice.

If you're just looking to be a player buy the Player's Handbook - super cheap on Amazon now in the US) and some dice (also super cheap.

For playing in person you should stop by your FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store) and ask around for players or check things like /r/lfg or Facebook for local gaming groups.

Online play, especially with tools like Fantasy Grounds or roll20, can be a lot of fun, don't discount them without trying. There's plenty of streams you can watch to see how that works too.

I bought the UK equivalent of these: they come in automatic packs and they have little bags for them.

When I first started bought a set of these for myself and my group.

Then when I started DMing I bought another set for my game.

You can. That is fine. You can just put them in the middle of the table and just grab and role whichever die you want to role. Some games, the DM roles all the dice. It is all dependent on what you want to do.

Most groups (98%) is setup where everyone has their own set of dice. This just speeds up play significantly. And dice are not expensive. Actually everyone can have their own set for just $10 from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Smartdealspro-Symphony-Dungeons-Dragons-Pouches/dp/B01M9F9AA7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=role+playing+game+dice&qid=1564165911&s=gateway&sr=8-3
