February 19, 2013 by dracs
Back in the day when men were real men, women were real women and small green furry things from Alpha Centauri were real small green furry things from Alpha Centauri people played the Dungeons and Dragons White Box. Now Wizards are allowing you to recapture those glory days.
Wizards of the Coast have released this premium edition reprint of the Original Dungeons and Dragons White Box, a must for any nostalgic collector.
In it you find all the original rules you needed to get started with the grandfather of fantasy role playing, as well as some supplements to help you along.
- Volume 1: Men & Magic
- Volume 2: Monsters & Treasure
- Volume 3: Underworld & Wilderness Adventures
- Supplement I: Greyhawk
- Supplement II: Blackmoor
- Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry
- Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes
Other than new cover art, these are apparently faithful reproductions of the originals, all kept together in that swanky box.
Are any of you collectors feeling nostalgia hit in?

I could use another 1st Edition Unearthed Arcana. The binding on the original exploded when you touched it.
You’re in luck. There’s a reprint just released.

Thank you, netdiver. The rest of my 1st Edition AD&D books have held up quite well, and as a group we have multiples of each but UA, from its inception, became a taped together eyesore.
