D&D General What is your most prized Dungeons and Dragons Product?

[GMMichael]

What about you? What are your favorite Dungeons and Dragons possessions?

I'm pretty proud of my Creative Commons 5RD. It commemorates WotC's greatest, and possibly last, gift to its fans.

I really still love my 3.5 core rule books and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting I bought when I was 15. I will always cherish those books.

I love the 3e campaign setting book, I think it's one of the better setting books released in any edition.

(Sigh) The one collectible that got away that I wish I'd held onto came into my possession when I sold my copy of DA4 0 The Duchy of Ten on eBay to a "Dave Arneson." I was a college student and needed to pay for gas money, so I cashed the check. About a week later I realized, "wait a minute, that was THE Dave Arneson." At that point it was too late. Oh well. I guess now my most prized product is that memory... actually, not, it's my second-most prized product.

I guess my most-prized product is this post: TSR - Q&A with Gary Gygax (references One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players )

I have a beat up copy of Deities & Demigods with the Cthulhu & Melnibonean mythos that I paid 20 for that I prize most of all because of the Otus cover. Next is my still sealed Holmes set that I paid $15 for with chits instead of dice.

I’d say my miniatures collection. I have somewhere around a thousand plastic miniatures. Overall it’s a brilliant resource and while at the time it was a budget stretch I haven’t spent anything on it for the last 10 years. Most of them were acquired through random boxes that came out across 3e but I bought a lot from eBay and re-sellers to fill holes in the collection.

It’s sorted by creature type and I pretty much know to the individual model what is in the collection. I therefore suffer intense anguish when they get put back in the wrong place! It’s also very satisfying when the DM describes a creature and I think ‘ooh I have just the thing’

When put alongside @GuyBoy ‘s metal miniature collection we can cover most things!

I should have specified that I was talking about the used market...I was thinking of the early 00s, when I went into my FLGS and bought the Greyhawk folio for $20. Stuff like that rather than buying books when they were new. I feel like once we hit the '10s, prices started skyrocketing on the second hand market.

I was able to regain and expand a lot of my vintage collection in the late 00s via Amazon before everything exploded in price. It's wild how much everything has appreciated in the last 10-15 years.

Despite not being a "stuff" person, I'm going to say I have two prized D&D items.

Probably my most prized would be a beat up secondhand copy of the Moldvay Basic book signed by Erol Otus. It's my favorite ruleset signed by one of my favorite artists.

The second (though not as personal to me) would be the premium edition of the OD&D books WotC put out some years ago. It's a really nice package, and though I've never played OD&D, I enjoy thumbing through the books immensely.

I got a bunch of things for what counts as now dirt-cheap before the boom. Had I known what was coming, I would've been more aggressive in my collecting. But that is ever the case with stuff that becomes collectible.

This is my most prized D&D product.
