Saving Throes # 74 - D&D 50th Anniversary Ranking: Top 5 Starter Sets

Red Rooster's Gaming Coop

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
One of the most important products of each D&D edition has been its starter set. It is the main point of entry for attracting a new audience, and it better be a good one if you want any prospective customers to stick around and hopefully check out the more advanced line of products. Thankfully there have been some great starter sets throughout the long history of the game. Some not-so-great, but many legendary sets that pull at the nostalgic heartstrings of many a gamer. In this episode I am going to countdown my top 5 favourite starter sets, and outline why I placed them the way I did. Tune in to hear which starter set stands above the rest, and what sets it apart.
