The original, the first, the Grandfather of them all, anyway you look at it this is the item that spawned an entirely new industry that is loved and enjoyed by millions of people today. The original Dungeons & Dragons box set was based on the fantasy portion of the earlier Chainmail rules and also suggested the use of Outdoor Survival, a board game from Avalon Hill. There have been many incarnations and editions of Dungeons & Dragons over the years but this is the product that started it all.

This is the 6th printing of the box set. It came in the white box with the starburst logo on the cover that stated "Original Collector's Edition" and contained: Volume I: Men and Magic, Volume 2: Monsters & Treasure, Volume 3: The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, and Reference Sheets.
