I am looking to start and play D&D, but I have no clue what I am getting my into. So I decided to get the D&D 4th Edition from my libary. But all they had was the Players Guide and the Dungeon Master Guide. Is there something else I am missing. I just want to dip my toe in the water before going head first. And if I got into the hobby how much would I have to spend to be up to date.
Is starting on the 4th Edition smart. Or is there an early version I should start with. And is there any good how-to-videos online I should at.
