First edition 1974

The peoples from Games Workshop, you know; the small 10m² shop in London, came to one of our first Belgian Wargame Con and presented us this brand new role-playing game in 1974 . I bougbht the only one box they had with them and after that at every other Con in Belgium, I opened a table dedicated to playing  D&D with great success ..

The 3 booklets have been rereleased in 2012 with Hard Cover but same content .

Les proprios de Games Workshop, ce petit magasin de 10m² à Londres, sont venus a une convention de Wargame en Belgique . Ils apportaient avec eux une idée nouvelle; le jeux de rôle, en 1974 . J'ai acheté la boîte unique, qu'ils avaient apportée, et au cours des conventions suivantes en Belgique, j'ai ouvert une table de Donjons et Dragons avec un succés certain .
