Cover of the 1973 draft shared previously on Playing at the World |
As posted here previously, the forthcoming book The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons (which can be pre-ordered here) is set to include a copy of the 1973 draft of original D&D, also known informally as Guidon D&D.
However, in the meantime researcher Michael Calleia has independently discovered a copy of this draft among the court records of the 1979 Arneson vs. Gygax lawsuit. Head over to his blog, Chance & Circumstance, to read more about this find:
Unveiling the Past: A Journey Through the July 1973 Draft and D&D’s Foundational Saga
Stay tuned for more from Michael, as he promises a series looking at the draft.

Fantastic: thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteSeconded...looking forward to reading the original manuscript without having to give Hasbro/WotC any of my money.
