The Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set 1 Box Set edited by Tom Moldvay is a classic 1981 TSR release designed for new players. It included an introductory rulebook, adventure module, and polyhedral dice, offering everything needed to start playing. Ideal for collectors and fans of vintage tabletop RPGs, this set introduces the foundational mechanics and fantasy storytelling that made D&D a legendary game.
This set has overall moderate wear to both box as well as the rulebook and module. In particular, the box has some lid dishing and evidence of a split. The rulebook and copy of Keep on the Borderlands are free of markings but have notable wear from use. The dice, crayon, and advertisements are not included.
