What was your first ever D&D product?

[Kroax]

AD&D 2nd ed PHB.

I bought it a couple of months after I had purchased Baldur's Gate.

 

[Benben]

Dice, way back in around '86.

Then a stack of character sheets.

Unearthed Arcana was my first book.

 

[Sulimo]

Hmmm...the red Basic set with Elmore cover. Even today its one beautiful dragon.

 

[Mr Fidgit]

1e DMG and PH -- got them for Christmas one year

 

[Zarthon]

Mine was the Basic Rules Set 1 (1983) Red box came with dice, the d20 I got with this box is still my favorite

I played with my brother and his friends at first, so I used all their books. The first thing that was actually mine was the D&D coloring book, a birthday present when I was 7 or 8. I saved my allowances and bought all the TSR Endless Quest books too. The first actual D&D game thing I bought was adventure module b4: the forgotten city, followed by my own copy of the red box basic set (the one book version, with a copy of b2: keep on the borderlands in it).

1st ed. DMG. I wanted Dungeons & Dragons, and that was the book that caught the most interest at the store. Too bad it didn't specify that you really needed the PHB to understand it all.

But oh, it was the best purchase ever...

The D&D Expert Set (4th Printing, I think - Blue Box w/Elmore art of a mounted fighter charging a dragon on the cover) started it for me. I also got DA1 - Adventures in Blackmoor.

Ah, memories... we played out of those books for a year or so before getting a buttload of modules and the rest of the boxed sets. A year or so after that, I got the FF, MM, DMG, PHB (1st edition) and a small paperback version of D&Dg (curse my luck, I lost that one).

Have since accumulated enough RPG products to fill a couple of 10' high bookshelves and then some... to say nothing of my hard disk's PDF collection... ;-)

I was given by a friend who had progressed to AD&D the Moldvay edition of the Basic set + Keep on the Borderlands.

The first product I bought was D3 - Vault of the Drow.

I used to borrow the AD&D books a lot from friends in those days.

Cheers!

My first ever D&D product was the 1st edition Players Handbook (first printing). My first ever non-D&D product was 1st edition Gamma World, which I still own.
