Arkham Horror RPG: Starter Set - Welcome to Promise

Welcome to Promise is a standalone starter set for the Arkham Horror Roleplaying Game — a complete, self-contained introduction to the Dynamic Pool System and the fog-drenched world of 1920s Arkham. Your group of investigators wakes up groggy and disoriented somewhere unfamiliar, bearing injuries they cannot explain. They will soon discover they are not alone. No prior experience with tabletop RPGs or Arkham Horror is needed.

Designed for up to five players and one game master, this boxed set eases newcomers into collaborative storytelling while offering enough mechanical depth to satisfy experienced roleplayers. The learn-as-you-play structure introduces the rules gradually, and the box is packed with physical components — dice, maps, cards, handouts, and tokens — to keep everyone immersed in the mystery from the very first session.

What's good?

• No prior RPG or Arkham Horror knowledge required — an ideal entry point for new groups
• Learn-as-you-play structure introduces rules gradually without overwhelming new players
• Exceptionally component-rich — dice, maps, cards, tokens, and more straight out of the box
