Description

Here is the ultimate record of how Dungeons & Dragons came to be. The Making of Original D&D is an extraordinary collection of rare documents that shed light on D&D’s origin story. Uncover materials never released to the public, including Gary Gygax’s first draft of original D&D, and early published writings such as the 1974 original D&D “white box” booklets and supplements. Each document is featured alongside insightful commentary from one of the game’s foremost historians, Jon Peterson.

Contents:
  • Unearth the very first draft of original D&D, never released to the public until now. Crafted on Gygax’s home typewriter, this 1973 document contains handwritten notes by both Gygax and Arneson.
  • Discover approximately 30 early articles and rare documents that lay the foundation for modern D&D, including unpublished correspondence between Gygax and Arneson.
  • Peruse a remarkable collection of magazine and fanzine articles, many of which are no longer publicly available or remain undiscovered by D&D historians and fans of classic D&D.
  • Flip through facsimiles of all the first printings of Original D&D, compiled in a single book for the first time in D&D’s publishing history.
  • Explore the creation and development of the original 1974 game with insightful commentary by Jon Peterson, one of D&D’s foremost historians.
  • Commemorate our 50th anniversary with this homage to D&D's past. We invite you to look back on D&D’s history with a discerning eye as we celebrate how far D&D has come. Here’s to 50 years, and 50 more!
Disclaimer:
We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content in this product does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudices that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons 1970-1977 (ANGLAIS)
Cette année est une année toute spéciale pour les amateurs de Dongeons & Dragons. En effet, il y a 50 ans déjà paraissait la toute première édition d'un jeu qui allait rapidement faire le tour de la planète et révolutionner l'univers des jeux de société.

Inspirés des récits d'heroic fantasy et du monde créé par J.R.R. Tolkien, Gary Gygax (1938-2008) et Dave Arneson (1947-2009) ont publié un ouvrage aux possibilités quasi illimitées. Ce magnifique volume que nous offre la boutique L'Imaginaire est un véritable trésor. Il contient pas moins que la toute première version de D&D, tapée à la machine à écrire par Gary Gygax ainsi que de nombreux manuscrits, suppléments originaux, livrets, le tout accompagné de commentaires fort pertinents d'une sommité de D&D, l'historien des jeux Jon Peterson.

Aussi, le lecteur privilégié d'avoir réussi à mettre la main sur ce trésor pourra se délecter de la lecture de nombreux magazines, fanzines et fac-similés liés à ce jeu hors du commun. Ce magnifique ouvrage, richement illustré, est serti d'un coffret blanc, ce qui contribuera à le préserver pendant des années.

Un incontournable donc pour les inconditionnels de Dongeons & Dragons. Surtout ceux de la première heure. Les cyniques ne verront dans cette initiative qu'un autre coup de marketing lié à l'industrie de la nostalgie. Tant pis pour eux! Pour ma part, je dis, sans la moindre gêne, vive la nostalgie! À plus forte raison si elle est aussi bien servie que par ce précieux (mon précieux!, comme dirait l'ami Gollum) joyau.
