Dungeons & Dragons to Sell First 2024 Player's Handbooks at Gen Con

As a dedicated and passionate gamer with years of experience under my belt, I’m thrilled to hear that Wizards of the Coast will be selling the new 2024 Player’s Handbook at Gen Con next month. This announcement has brought a wave of excitement and anticipation in the gaming community, as we all know that this is an opportunity to get our hands on a collectible piece of D&D history – the first run of the new rulebook featuring both a Gen Con 2024 bookplate and the 50th anniversary logo in gold foil.


At Gen Con next month, Wizards of the Coast will be selling the initial batch of 3,000 units of the freshly minted 2024 “Dungeons & Dragons” Player’s Handbooks. These exclusive editions come with a distinctive Gen Con 2024 bookplate and gold foil-stamped 50th anniversary logos. Set to release nationwide on September 17th, these books will be accessible for purchase about a month earlier at the event.

As a gamer, I’m excited about the upcoming changes to Dungeons & Dragons with the release of the 2024 Player’s Handbook. Although Wizards hasn’t officially announced it as a new edition, there are significant revisions to the rules that will impact character creation and gameplay. For instance, many classes have been rebalanced, meaning they deal more damage and have more versatile abilities. The core rules still resemble 5th edition, but confirmed adjustments include surprise encounters and using health potions. To ensure compatibility, if I create a new character using the 2024 Player’s Handbook, my game should adhere to the full set of rules presented in the new rulebook instead of the previous 2014 version.

Interested fans looking to buy the book at Gen Con should register for a digital pass on the conference’s website each day, with ticket sales beginning at 7 AM. The books will be sold by Wizards during a three-hour timeframe each day, so fans must be in line before the window closes to secure a copy. Wizards is offering the Player’s Handbook for $49.99. Additionally, Wizards will sell the new 50th anniversary USPS stamps as separate items at Gen Con.
