D&D General Help me find what is this old kit!

[Tales and Chronicles]

So my friend just found in his basement this thing, which is clearly a French basic kit for one of the first editions. Can some players with more experience enlighten us about what is it?

Nice find! That's the 1991 Basic D&D (BD&D) "Black Box" by Timothy Brown and Troy Denning. It has a classic adventure called "Escape from Zanzer Tem's Dungeon." You can read one blogger's writeup on it here: In Praise of "Black Box" D&D

Nice!

So for 6,99 CAD$ it is a good deal? I'll make for a good conversation piece, at least.

I think it usually goes for $100+ on Ebay, so heck yeah that would be a good deal.

Thank you a lot.

That’s the set I learned D&D with. Good solo tutorial (DM-less) adventure in there.
