D&D 5E Is One Year Old!

Today is the one-year anniversary of the first official physical D&D 5th Edition product - the D&D Starter Set! A boxed set containing a rules booklet and the adventure Lost Mine of Phandelver, along with a selection of pregenerated characters and a set of dice, the D&D Starter Set was launched in preferred stores (it hit other stores 11 days later) and was pretty solidly well received. To this date, it has a certified 86% rating right here on EN World. It has won a couple of awards, and is up for two ENnies this year in the Best Family Game and Best Production Values categories (people love boxes!)

Against the Slavelords (Premium) came out this week in PDf (2.5 year lag). Both Murder in Baldur's Gate and Legacy of the Crystal Shard are available. Looks like the PDf lag is somewhere in the 2-3 year range.

Both the 3.5 Item and Spell Compendiums are under 3 years still but not available in PDF.
The Premium OD&D set is just over 2 years. Dungeons of Dread (S series) is coming up on 3 years (March 2013).
