Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer Contents List – FAQs
We’ve put together another article containing all the information and some frequently asked questions concerning D&D Adventurer Qui. For ease-of-access, we’ve also included some of the key takeaways and most common FAQs from this article below.
How Many Issues Are There?
80.
Yup, 80. That is now confirmed, straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. Just like regular FauxHammer.com readers will know, the hugely successful Warhammer partworks collections – Stormbringer, Imperium, Mortal Realms, Conquest – have all run (or are in the process of running to) 80 issues – with the exception of Imperium that was so hugely popular, it ran to 90.
It’s still early days, so there’s no word yet on whether or not D&D Adventurer commands quite the numbers to warrant a collection extension – but if we hear more, we’ll let you know.
Are there any Freebies?
There are indeed!
Should you subscribe via Hachette, your first delivery gets you a D&D Adventurer Dice Tray (and, a free copy of Issue 2). Your third gets you a binder to keep all your magazines in. Your fifth gets you a DM screen, and your seventh delivery gets you a dice jail – you know, for when your dice have really let you down.
Secondo Il sito web di Hachette, however, these subscriber gifts are a limited-time things, and won’t be available forever. If you want them, you’ll need to act fast.
Are There Any Exclusive Characters or Adventures?
Yup!
Currently, there are 7 completely brand-new adventures planned spanning the 80 issues. These Adventures are each made up of 11 or 12 individual encounters that span the Forgotten Realms, so by the end of each adventure you’ll have a full understanding of everything that’s been going on – from the locations you’ve played in to the overarching adventure itself.
If you’re stuck as to what to play, you needn’t worry. There are currently 12 exclusive characters planned for the full collection, covering all the core classes. Thanks to both D&D’s ruleset, as well as the folks at Hachette’s clever planning, players can choose how they would like to play: you will be able to either stick with your original characters across all adventures and will receive full guidance on how each of these characters will level up (to level 5), or chop and change as you wish.
Levelling up also comes at a fairly regular rate. Characters first level up to level 2 in issue 6. After that, further level-ups happen approx. every 15 issues.
Who is D&D Adventurer For?
Most issues of the collection will contain information and advice for both players and DMs, so irrespective of your experience level there’ll be plenty of stuff for you to sink your teeth into. For DMs in particular, after issue 9 you will find a lot of DM-focused articles within the magazine as content continues to expand and some of the training wheels start to come off. As such, the encounters and articles within each magazine should therefore appeal to both sides of the DM’s screen – whether you’re a player or running the session, there’ll be stuff for you. The encounters across the collection will include tips on running the game, and you can also find “DM Top Tips” with other articles too.
New players will enjoy the benefits of step-by-step guides on how to play D&D, from information on how to run an encounter as a DM, how the game works and how the characters work, to what all the different dice do. Magazines come with clear instructions, hints and tips to get you started – and given all the gear that comes with each issue, your dice, pre-made characters, and all your visual aids will help kick-start your experience.
Existing players will get to enjoy brand-new and exclusive adventures and characters, the likes of which they won’t have seen before. Some issues will also include additional encounter points for those who want to extend their gaming time and beef up the challenge. You’ll also be able to take a deep dive into the lore of the Forgotten Realms, which will help existing DMs and players continue to grow their own characters and campaigns to new heights.
How do I Subscribe?
There are currently a couple of ways to subscribe to D&D Adventurer that we’ve listed below. In the past, there has also been the “Forbidden Planet Method”, which you can read more about over on our Warhammer Imperium Magazine Contents List, but we’re not sure if this one works for D&D Adventurer yet.
Option 1: Directly with Hachette
The first, most obvious, and likely the easiest way for you to get your hands on your copies of D&D Adventurer is to subscribe directly con Hachette by clicking the big yellow “SUBSCRIBE NOW” bar on il loro sito web. With this method, you will be sent 4 issues every 4 weeks and will be charged around the same time that the issues dispatch.
You’ll be put on one of several delivery schedules that are, as far as we can tell, determined by the time at which you subscribe, and will receive your deliveries at the same time every month.
Of course, subscribing with Hachette also ensures you get the exclusive free gifts available throughout the collection.
Option 2: Via your Local Newsagent
The next option available for you is to subscribe via your local news agent. Your newsagent will manage your subscription for you, and you simply need to collect your issue from them every week.
In the past, this method can have its’s drawbacks. Make sure you trust your newsagent – during previous Warhammer collections, we were been told by our readers that some newsagents claimed did not get copies of certain high-demand issues (you know, the ones that then turned up in droves on eBay).
By subscribing at your “trusted” newsagent, you are also unlikely to get the extras that Hachette provides in deliveries, nor will you get the binders which you are charged extra for. However, this is not a certain thing, as in the past we have had reports on our Facebook groups that some newsagents have provided binders.
Option 3: The Forbidden Planet Method.
This is one we strongly recommend you try out – and one that’s been growing in popularity since it started being used for the Warhammer partworks subscription.
Subscribing with (or really just buying directly from) Forbidden Planet will get your issues delivered to your door weekly rather than every 4 weeks. You will be charged weekly for your purchases, and you can pick and choose the issues and quantities you like, offering you more control over what issues you receive. Perhaps you’d like to net extra D&D Adventurer Dice Tins a partire dal Numero 1 to give to your party. Perhaps you like the look of that extra-large dice in Numero 4 and want to grab an extra one.
There is a postage cost. One or two issues will cost £2.25, 3 will cost £2.95, and four or more more will cost £5.95 – but that’s the absolute cap. If you order 4 issues or 400 issues so long as the total quantity of issues in a single order is 4 or more, the postage cost will never rise above £5.95 – see below.
As such, the more issues you order in one go, the less and less the postage cost matters – the issues purchased from Forbidden Planet are 17p cheaper than advertised RRP, so if you order in bulk each time (you’re looking at around 35 issues, but given that the collection is running to 80 issues that shouldn’t be too hard to do), you will break even. Order more in a single order and you are saving money.
When the first issue of the order is dispatched, you are charged for the issue and the full £5.95 cost of postage for your whole order. After that you never pay postage again and just pay for the issues weekly until that order is complete.
See? Easy peasy. Head over to Forbidden Planet to see what they have on offer right now!
Is there a Premium Subscription?
Coming as no surprise to anyone familiar with Hachette’s subscriber model from previous collections, D&D Adventure is offering a Premium Subscription.
For an additional £1.25 per issue, subscribers (and this is a subscriber-only offer) will receive a set of 5 exclusively designed silver coins featuring artwork of the characters from the collection, plus a custom-made display frame.
According to Hachette’s D&D Adventurer website, “each 38.6mm coin is made of a high-quality cupronickel material and will create the perfect display as you play through your D&D Adventurer encounters!”
It’s not, perhaps, what you might be expecting – especially if you’ve happened across D&D Adventurer via FauxHammer.com and our previous Partworks coverage, where Premium subscriptions tend to have included bucketloads of additional Warhammer miniatures. We can see the appeal – using a silvery coin by way of a character token is a huge flex on the rest of your adventuring party, but we’re still a little on the fence about this.
Wait, I thought you guys did value breakdowns on these?
Well, yeah. Normally we do. But not this time.
Why? Well, with the Warhammer partworks magazines, it’s been very easy to ascribe a value to the contents of each magazine because the models, paints, brushes and whatever else that turns up each week/month because the retail value of these items is available right on Workshop sui giochiwebstore di.
With D&D Adventurer, none of the contents are available anywhere else. As such, we can’t easily give anything that comes in the magazine a retail value because we have nothing to grade it against. Sure, dice, standees and some of the other stuff are available in other forms elsewhere, but not these exact ones.
Plus, a great deal of the value in D&D Adventurer lies in the magazines themselves. As we’ve said in other places, D&D is a pen and paper adventure, and having pen and paper resources – such as pre-written adventures, maps, NPC stats and sheets – is of great value to GMs and players.
The key thing to keep in mind as you’re considering getting stuck in to D&D Adventurer is what the contents are worth to you. If you’re a D&D fan and into this stuff, then it’s likely that dice, tokens, standees, adventures and whatever else will be worth the £8.99 you pay for the magazine. If you aren’t then this collection likely isn’t for you.
Again, we’d reiterate the value in the Forbidden Planet method outlined above, as you’ll be able to pick and choose what you do and do not receive with a lot more freedom.
What is the Delivery Schedule?
Whilst Hachette always advertises its partworks as weekly magazines (as new issues appear in shops on a weekly basis), if you subscribe with Hachette you will get four issues every four weeks, not one issues delivered to you weekly. If you prefer a week-by-week arrangements, again, we advise you have a look at the Forbidden Planet method outlined above.
Ci sono costi nascosti?
Not really , as long as you pay attention to the small print and read over everything you receive. As they have done with their Warhammer collections, we suspect Hachette will pepper the collection with the odd opt-out subscriber exclusive into the collection as it goes – like those character packs and novella you can get. You will be charged for these if you don’t opt out: the month before you receive the item(s), you’ll have a note in your order warning you that it’s coming, and that if you don’t want it you need to let them know.
Your Article Title Says “Issues 1-80”, but There Aren’t 80 Issues Listed Here. What’s Up with That?
We get this every time we do one of these complete lists.
Yes, it’s a touch misleading, but we’d be updating the article’s title every four weeks and then waiting another eight weeks for google to show the update. That’s even more confusing and will leave you all scratching your heads and wondering what on earth we’re doing here.
And whilst there aren’t all eighty issues listed yet, we hope there will be soon!
Our Contents Reveal Schedule
We often see people in the comments sections on these kinds of articles demanding to know what the contents of future issues will be because Forbidden Planet li ha già pronti per il preordine.
This doesn’t have any bearing on what we can and can’t do. Let me explain.
Forbidden Planet can put up whatever they want for pre-order whenever they want, that’s tipo the point of a pre-order. Just because it’s there doesn’t mean that anyone knows any more than “it’s coming out”, and as Covid showed us with Mortal Realms, we can’t even fully guarantee when it’s coming.
As we saw with previous magazines, Forbidden Planet will put up issues for preorder as and when they get round to it. These can come in piecemeal, or in large batches. Sometimes they release the issue contents before us, they are a huge company and they will do their bit when an employee is free to do it. We, on the other hand, aren’t – and you’ve gotta root for the little guy, right?
We will aim to keep as in line with Hachette’s delivery schedule as we can, and will aim to reveal the contents of the next four issues every four weeks. This does come with the caveat, however, that all of us here at FauxHammer.com have full-time jobs and other work to do outside FauxHammer, so these may occasionally be slightly delayed.

Can we have an update for the last few weeks please?
Hi Joan,
We don’t have any new info at the moment, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll have some more info coming our way shortly. As soon as we have any new details, we’ll let you know! :)
As of Issue 30, 25 of them are just friggen DICE?
GW tossing $60 kits into $14 magazines and Hasbro can’t be arsed to put in more than $1 of dice?!
I too am disappointed by the overwhelming number of dice. I like 2d minis. Could you let us know which issues have battlemaps too please. I opened one, 15 I think, and it had a nice double sided gridded map in it.
Whens the next update for content? Trying to decide whether to continue or cancel! Cheers
No word yet – soon hopefully!
Is this ending or have they given up saying what dice are with the issues?
Hi Terry, we announced the last lot of contents a few days back (https://www.fauxhammer.com/partworks-magazines/dungeons-dragons-adventurer-issues-35-43-contents-confirmed/) and have just today updated this. Unfortunately, we’re still without pictures due to an unforeseen delay with Hachette, but we understand they’re trying to resolve this for us ASAP. Cheers.
You guys missed 32-34
Good spot – cheers! Updated now :)
There was a special which included a metal D100 in a wooden display box, and maybe going to be another with a character pack.
There was a special available on the website solid metal d100 in wooden display box £25
And looks like going to be another a character pack.
Hi – I subscribe to this and was wondering whether anyone knows if it will reflect any of the changes in the new core books releasing this month?
Hi.
Thank you providing this service as it allows me to pick and choose which issues I buy.
No more dice, please lol.
Any chance of an update for the next few issues?
Issue 54 didn’t arrive in my local shop so I don’t know what the gift was.
Issue 55 had another set of small metal dice. Meh.
Hi Terry, are the small metal dice in issue 55 a different colour to those in issues 10 and 26 please?
Hiya.
They look kind of iron like. Nicer than the reddish ones.
Can you please update this page as it only shows up to issue 53…? Issue 54 came out last week, issue 55 is out today. No idea what they come with and if it’s worth making a trip to Asda to buy. I only buy certain issues depending on what type of dice they have with them.
Hi guys, we’ve had a couple of comments asking when this list is going to be updated. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a while yet.
I’ve literally just moved house, so most of my stuff is in boxes, and to top it all off, my PC has just broken and is in for repairs. This means I’ve lost access to just about everything I need in order to give you the next load of contents.
I’ll try and get it done as soon as I can, but you’re going to have to bear with me for a bit! Sorry!
A Comment was made before by @Thwdp which was not answered – I have contacted the supplier regarding this.
I asked if they had any intentions of addressing the new rule updates given that they are moving to a new set and this series was now infact out of date or changed Irrevocably.
They said they have plans to continue to edition 80 with the 2014 rules but they can extend issues at any time & did not have an answer for the rule changes now launched in 2024.
They said they would pass on the comments.
I would surmise its also given them a headache.
It’s a little strange to be selling a part works that changes core rules mid way through after such a long established term then continue to expect people to just accept its built on “Old Rules” – at the very least they should have considered this for the remaining issues perhaps trying to tie it in somehow.
They have the option to do this but im unsure its wise or can be achived since the changes are vast enough to cause serious problems for them.
This being said it feels like Wizards of the Coast have flung them under the bus unless they knew this before commecing with the subscriptions which is a little sketchy ethically speaking as we should have been informed that would be the case & given fair warning of the choice knowing it was going to be the case before we started collecting as this series is a substantial investment.
I asked if there was a refund policy given the material is out of date but they said only the most current issue could be refunded leaving me in limbo about continuing as many have said here already…die…die…die…lots of dice with a few other goodies thrown in which we would like more of instead of more dice. Maps are welcome, Booklets too but with the binder hooks as one of the booklets comes without the metal eyelets the others have which is infuriating. Perhaps suppling 3d printed versions of the “Standees” which we could then choose to paint like the GW/warhammer issues. As for value as a subscriber to the “Premium edition” i pay more get free binders, dice trays etc…but you still have to pay for the d100 as its extra not included (This is just for information I of course paid extra to get mine) the bonus is that they reserve one for you should you choose to buy it…
Its a shame because I will inevitably continue to collect as I am at issue 54 now so I want to complete a set as anyone that starts collecting a series does.
I hope this information helps if some others are thinking about this although it may just come across as a moan – its intended as a conversation starter or to give others some answers.
As I said I am inclined to continue collecting the set & stick with the old set of rules entirely boycotting the new set of rules…it feels wrong but as a consumer thats spent a considerable amount I am already (Baw deep as they say) way too invested to pull out now & I feel its my only option here.
All this being said – never stop Dungeon deliving adventurers slaying Dragons is what we do best.

It’s no different from when a new version of the Warhammer 40K rules were coming out during a run of one of Hachette’s Warhammer 40K partworks, I forget which one now. That also meant the rules were technically “out of date” but isn’t the point of the partwork to be a self contained ruleset unto itself?
Thank you for the update on your situation.
I collected the original 4 issue run a couple of years ago and filled in the feedback form requesting minis and maps and less dice. I opted for the free gift, not the refund, that was offered in issue 4. I never received anything.
Why on earth they thought people would be happy with so many dice is beyond me.
Thank you for your service and hope you get things sorted soon.
The new version is completely compatible with 5th edition so can use the new stuff with this and this with the new stuff.
As a dice goblin I for one welcome the never ending sets of die. To be fair the latest sets of maps would have been better printed at a one inch scale. I’m not a fan of skinny minis and would prefer 3d minis but they’re too fragile to cope with the postal system.
Issue 56 has 2 half scale maps., The Stone Eye, a wilderness map and Creakshik Adamantine Mine. I assume they are both from adventures contained in the magazines.
I also would prefer mini sized maps but you could use proxies.
Any more updates as it only reaches issue 53 and would like to know what’s coming please
Ciao a tutti,
This has now been updated to issue 65 today. Thanks for bearing with us through the delay. Pleased to say I am now back up and running (sort of…!).
Migliore,
rapinare
Thank you so much for the update, rob :)
