An OD&D printing history lesson - with visual aids!

An OD&D printing history lesson - with visual aids!

Originally shared by Jon Peterson

Back in 2014, I expressed my intention to celebrate the birthday of Dungeons & Dragons on the last Sunday of January: since it happened to be January 26th, that is commonly given as the anniversary. But in 2016, it falls on the final day of the month, and to honor the occasion, today I'm inaugurating a new Playing at the World video series.

This first episode is focused on the original Dungeons & Dragons boxed set; I am joined today by my friend and fellow collector Bill Meinhardt, who graciously provides his hospitality, expertise, and amazing collectibles. Even if you're not in the market for the physical boxes, you can still experience the game, as Wizards recently released PDFs of their eighth printing of the original Dungeons & Dragons books - on January 26th, it turns out.

Good news folks! It looks like the OD&D PDFs are doing to be dropped into RPGNow/DnDClassics by Wizards. My library just updated and I was able to download the cleaned up books from the collector's set.
