[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 5045737, member: 31216"] Whether you began D&D in 1979 or 2009, I think the first D&D books you were exposed to, in your first months (2-24) of gaming, have a large importance on how you view the game as a whole, even 30 years later. They may have solidified your interest in the game more than your first play experience. What D&D books, in what order, formed your introduction to D&D? The books that introduced me to D&D (first ~24 months) were these (in this order): 1. Basic D&D rule book 2. B1 In Search of the Unknown 3. B2 Keep on the Borderland 4. U1 Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh 5. AD&D1 Fiend Folio 6. AD&D1 Dungeon Master’s Guide 7. A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity (we first played/ran both A1 and U1 with BD&D rules) 8. AD&D1 Player’s Handbook 9. AD&D1 Monster Manual 10. Dragon Magazine #68 There was a lot of homemade adventures during this time, but they were all derivitives/imitations of the official adventures we had read and played. What was the initial book-path for your D&D career? Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
