This thread is completly subjective, and frankly impossible to respond to unless it were changed to "which prodcut did you most dislike". Without that alteration there is no worst product.The players handbook first edtion was a ground breaking game book. It was the first hardback rpg book I ever owned and I treasure it for the memories it has given me over 26 years of gaming. It came out just after the first edition Monster Manual and it revolutionized the game every bit as much as third edition has, more in many cases. Comparing the game to what it was before the 1st ed hardback was released, and what the game was before the 3rd edition hardback was released, I'd say that the 1st editon had more impact to the game as a whole. 3rd edition has certainly brought in more players, but the enviroment in 2000 bore no resemblence to the enviroment in 1978. I still have a space on my shelf for it and I take it down and dust it off once in a while just to look through it and reminince. The 1st Editon Players Handbook was a marvel for the fledgling industry. Is third edtion better? Yes, but then Halo 2 is better than Space Invaders, but calling Space Invaders the worst video game ever wont get you far in most circles. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />With regards to Gary Gygax, I'll not trash one of the men who was responsible for starting our hobby. I don't agree with everything he has done over the years, or some of the things he has said or even liked all his products. But without him its probable that I wouldn't have my best friends in the world coming to my house every week for the past two decades and participating in the most enjoyable hobby I've ever engaged in.No disrepect intended Janx, I just don't agree with you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
