Message: <blockquote data-quote="JEB" data-source="post: 8529698" data-attributes="member: 10148">UPDATE: If you got the 1991/1994 Basic set and had previously voted for the 1977/1981/1983 version, please change your vote! Those are now separate from the 1977/1981/1983 versions.Curious about the first official D&D game product everyone here owned. (It can be a gift or a purchase, as long as it was yours to keep. ) What was it? How did you get it? What did you like most about it? (Or did you hate it?) Do you still have it? Please let us all know!Laying down some ground rules:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I included an example of each category (in parentheses), but just to make it clearer:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A "general supplement" is something that expands on the rules for that edition without being explicitly tied to one setting.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A "setting-specific supplement" is a product that introduces or expands on a specific campaign setting, and is explicitly tied to that setting.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A "general adventure" is an adventure that isn't explicitly tied to one setting (which doesn't mean it isn't linked in some way to a setting; it just isn't labeled as a "Dragonlance" adventure or the like).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A "setting-specific adventure" is an adventure that is explicitly tied to one setting.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">5e adventures weren't split into general vs. setting-specific because they're basically all setting-specific.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If a product fits into more than one category, pick the category that seems to fit best from the way the product was marketed (and please let us know that you weren't sure in your comments).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If you got more than one product in different categories at the same time, pick the one that made the strongest impression (but please let us know about the others).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">While this isn't technically a (+) thread (I wanted to leave it open for folks to bash their first product if they really wanted to), please be respectful towards everyone else's opinions, and please don't trash people for liking a thing you don't.</li> </ul>EDIT: Late notes:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The 2e core rules include the two original looseleaf Monstrous Compendiums as well as the Monstrous Manual (but not the various looseleaf MC Appendices).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"D&D BECMI set (Expert/Companion/Master/Immortals)" only includes the expansions after the Basic set, not the "red box" itself.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I originally included the 1991 and 1994 revisions of the D&D Basic set in with the 1977/1981/1983 versions, but I have been persuaded to separate those out as their own answer (at the end of the list).</li> </ul></blockquote>
