What was your first ever D&D product (whatever edition or incarnation it was)?

Mine was the Red Basic set by Tom Moldvay, with the Wizard's head logo.

My first D&D products were the 1st Edition AD&D PHB and DMG. My first ever gaming product was the "Tunnels and Trolls" boxed set some years before that.

First ever gaming product was the Red Erol Otus Covered Basic D&D set, with module B2 Keep on the Borderlands inside.

That thing lasted me ten years before I lost it somewhere. Man, I miss that thing. I Still have the B2 Module original, though.

I think mine was Sword and Fist, followed by the 3rd Edition PHB. I bought S&F because my first charecter was a fighter and my group of 6 had 3 or 4 PHB's already.

Gosh, I'm not sure. I used my older brother's stuff for a while. I think the first thing I actually owned was the "red box" of basic D&D.

I do remember that, before my brother headed off to college, I sat down with his AD&D DMG and typed up the entire monster stat chart from one of the appendices so I'd have some good monsters.

The first that I owned was the old Red Box set. The first I bought was the Monster Manual, first edition.

The little white box with 3 books. In the same purchase I bought Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Eldritch Wizardry, Gods Demigods & Heros, Chainmail and 2 sets of dice. It cost me $40 plus tax 1976 dollars.

Ahh, the dark ages before xerox machines were easily available. Yeah, I remember many times copying loads of stuff by hand when I borrowed modules or whatever. I remember my friend had a later version of the Basic Set, so I copied the stuff that wasn't in mine.

My first D&D product was "The Complete Bard's Handbook", back in 1992 or so.
