Hi all!

We’re a family of three, my wife, my son (11M) and me. We would like to start playing “real” D&D, after trying a very simplified version we bought a couple years ago.

I’ve been playing “real” D&D with my friends many years ago, but only as a player, never as the DM. What I’m looking for is a set comprising a Player’s Handbook, a DM Handbook and Rules (?). I’m not really sure sure what else I would need to start… I’d be the DM and the player, at least at the beginning…

Can anyone point me towards a good starter pack, with the minimum needed books? Also, any additional suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance!

EDIT: Thanks to everybody! These have been very useful suggestions. I think we may start with the “Starter Set” (cheap, slightly more advanced than the one we’re using right now) and if the family enjoy it we may explore the “core rule set” afterwards. Hope my son may appreciate this kind of games, as a healtier alternative to phone/pc video games :-)

    The new Starter Kit is out and about now. I grabbed one a few weeks ago for my step-son. Are you able to find that in stock? It seemed pretty good from my quick scan.

      Yeah, that can be found pretty easily. It just seems to be even more “basic” than the Essential stuff, from some reviews that I found online. But, hey, it should be more than enough for a start.
