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

[Clint_L]

My Deities and Demigods, first edition, with all the stuff that later had to be removed for IP reasons. It's in terrible condition but that's only because it was so loved.

For years, it was my Hook Horror action figure gifted to me by a Circvs Maximus Secret Santa. But then my dog ate it.

I dumped "everything D&D" after I burned-out on the game - except this one. To me, it truly symbolizes what D&D is, in its most complete form.

The RC is probably my most treasured as well, it's what started me on dnd and has provided me with ideas for later editions through the years.

My copy of Castle Zagyg signed by Gary Gygax.

Edit: For "name brand" product, it's the 2e AD&D player handbook, original printing. Not the 2nd version with the "bad art".

My Bugbear Miniatures are my prized DnD possessions as well as my Curse of Strahd 5th edition book.

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

1e DMG ofc.

I'll say two things ...

The first is my original boxed basic set.

The second is the framed set of autographs I got during GaryCon 10, 2018 (signed by D&D greats like Larry Elmore, Zeb Cook, Tracy Hickman, Margaret Weis, Diesel, Jeff Easley, Steve Winter, and the late Kim Mohan)

For me it's the original White Boxed Set I picked up at a garage sale for $2. It's in almost perfect shape.

My most prized D&D possession is the 1983 World of Greyhawk boxed set that I bought new when I was thirteen. The two booklets, the map, and the box itself remain in terrific (VG+) condition—which amazes me given that the map adorned my bedroom wall for five of my teenaged years. Especially when compared to books like my battered first edition PHB (which looks like it’s been to the bottom of the Abyss and back), it’s more than a minor miracle that it’s in such good shape.

Moreover, as opposed to the bulk of my AD&D books that are boxed and in the garage, the Greyhawk boxed set is on a table in the study (with other legacy Greyhawk content) alongside the 5e rule books, because it’s still in active use. I consider it to be my Greyhawk ur-text, the definitive, canonical source from which all the lore in my setting springs, and I consult it regularly.

It just so happens that almost two weeks ago (on the 13th) I broke down and purchased the PDF version. It’s more convenient for a host of reasons, but, when I use it, I feel dirty, like I’m cheating on the physical copy. I obviously have issues.

I have bought and sold so much stuff over the years that hard to remember what I have anymore. Every time I go to look for a specific book I get mad when I realize I sold it and then come across some obscure book and think to myself why did I keep this. If I had to run into my burning house and save a set of books it'd be my copies of every Waterdeep and Undermountain product released from 1E-5E. Provided I'm not incinerated first.

 

[TerraDave]

It should be my original basic set, but given how I treated it, apparently not. (And what happened to my expert set still pisses me off). I also like my OD&D stuff, but I got it much later.

That leaves my original Deities and Demigods, Fiend Folio, and Dungeon Masters Guide. Original Ravenloft, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and some other modules are also right up there. Oh and Best of Dragon 1 and Best of Dragon 2.

So that may not be 1 prized possession.
