First published in January 1974, the original edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons would go on to see six different printings. However, they have by far the worst of the Gold Box games in UI, and had the additional problem of both the Adventurers Journal AND a code wheel. Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds have the best story and level design, and are most like a PnP module (Pool of Radiance was converted into one, actually).

However, Perren decided to do more than just play: he wrote a few pages of rules for medieval miniatures wargaming. He then formed the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association in 1969 to support his new interest, where he was joined by Donald Kaye, Jeff Perren, Rob Kuntz, and others. Gary Gygax became intrigued by medieval miniatures wargames at Gen Con I (1968). What follows is only a synopsis.Origins (I): Finding the Fantasy. Jon Peterson's Playing at the World (2012) is the premier source, while this historian's own Designers & Dragons: The '70s devotes a full 10 pages to the subject.
His story begins with the "Braunstein" games of Dave Wesely, who was running Napoleonic miniatures games where players took on the roles of individual characters.After Wesely's Army Reserve unit was called up to active duty, other players ran Braunsteins of their own, sometimes in different settings. The next step in the evolution of Dungeons & Dragons came thanks to another collaborator: Dave Arneson. At this point, some of D&D's core ideas were obviously beginning to appear.Origins (II): Traveling to Twin Cities. It included a 14-page "fantasy supplement" that featured rules for heroes, superheroes, and wizards — the last of which had spells like fire ball, lightning bolt, and phantasmal force.
Gygax then began to revise and expand these proto- D&D rules, publishing drafts to the miniatures gaming community in 1973. Then in late 1971 or early 1972 the Blackmoor group moved into the dungeons (using a plastic kit of a Sicilian castle that Arneson owned).Arneson showed Gygax his Blackmoor game in late 1972. Arneson used Gygax and Perren's Chainmail game for its combat, but otherwise it followed the Braunstein idea of players running individual characters.At first, Arneson's players fought medieval miniatures battles that were typical of the genre … other than the fact that they had characters that gained experienced over time.
The books rolled off the printing press in January and were sold over the course of 1974.Releasing the D&D Box. He put up $2,000 to publish the first thousand copies of Dungeons & Dragons (1974) — now called Original D&D or OD&D. They hoped to use its profits to publish D&D … but still came up short.Enter Brian Blume, the newest member of the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association. It was funded by $1,000 raised by Kaye cashing in his life insurance policy.The newborn TSR still couldn't afford to publish D&D, but they decided to get the ball rolling with a miniatures wargame written by Gygax and Perren called Cavaliers and Roundheads (1973). In 1973, Gary Gygax and Don Kaye decided to form a game publisher called Tactical Studies Rules, named after the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association.
Korns' Modern War in Miniatures (1966). To find the origins of those dice, we first have to go back to the preexisting wargaming community.Historian Jon Peterson notes that traditional wargames used six-sided dice, but players were becoming interested in randomizing events based on percentages as early as the release of Michael J. Though D&D was clearly innovative for its style of play, it also had another ground-breaking element: its wacky dice. It would become a white box with the fourth printing (November 1975), then would become the "Original Collector's Edition" with the sixth printing (1977) — by which time OD&D was being revamped as AD&D (1977-1979).About the Components: The Platonic Dice. Six pages of charts and tables accompanied the booklets.The first edition of the box was wood-grained with white stickers. This is sort of a Player's Handbook, a Monster Manual (with treasure), and a Dungeon Master's Guide, but D&D wouldn't fully settle into that standard set of books until the release of AD&D (1977-1979).
However they sold their dice in packs of five, including a d4, a d6, a d8, a d12, and a d20. Twenty-sided dice were thus part of the fantasy game when Gygax began to revise Blackmoor as D&D … but supply was still a problem.At some point, someone (perhaps Dave Wesely, perhaps Gary Gygax) found a twenty-sided dice supplier in the US: Creative Publications of California. He eventually got to use them in his Blackmoor game.
As a result, OD&D added some rules for using the other dice — particularly in the number appearing charts for monsters. TSR decided to use the full sets to avoid having to sort out the other polyhedrons when they sold them. There was one problem with Creative Publications' dice: D&D only needed the d6 and the d20.
Unlike the other Premium Reprints, the OD&D reprints featured all new (black & white) cover art on the seven books. It was the capstone of their Premium Reprint program that bridged the gap between 4e (2008-2012) and 5e (2014-Present).The Original Edition Premium Reprint was sumptuously produced as a padded wooden box that included OD&D, the first four supplements, and (varying from the original OD&D) a set of dice. Wizards of the Coast similarly brought OD&D back into print in November 2013 as the Original Edition Premium Reprint (2013).
Notably missing is the thief, who would be introduced later in the year.Creating the D&D System: The Races. The third class is the cleric, which may have been an innovation from Arneson's Blackmoor game. The magic-user is Chainmail's wizard with many of the same spells, while the fighting-man includes Chainmail's hero and superhero as level titles. The fact that OD&D was an incremental development of Chainmail is obvious from its classes. Chainmail and the OD&D mass-combat system, Swords & Spells (1976), were notably missing from the Premium Reprint.The Original Edition Premium Reprint was later released as PDFs (2016) through DnDClassics — albeit with the core books and supplements published separately (and once more without the dice).Creating the D&D System: The Heroes.
In OD&D, characters are defined in broadly the same way as they would be in later editions of the game, but with less definition. This was because Gygax wanted humans to remain the dominant race in the game, but it would be an issue for play through the '80s.Creating the D&D System: The Characteristics. These demihuman races have severe class restrictions and also level restrictions: theycan only progress to 4th, 6th, or 8th level in various classes.
