1st Edition AD&D Player's Handbook

Описание: It's the perfect player's game-playing aid and the best companion to the referee's Dungeon Master's Guide. As a player, this handbook will help you determine your character's abilities such as strength, wisdom, and charisma. Character races including elves, halflings, dwarves, gnomes and others are explained in detail to make the adventure fast, fun and exciting. You'll learn the rules for progressing in character levels and the most advantageous mapping and combat procedures. And they're all in this easy to use book.

Published in 1978, this expanded upon Chainmail and the earlier Dungeon and Dragon's basic systems. In my opinion (and many, many others), it is the granddaddy of all TTRPGs, period.

In this turbulent time of WotC's attempts to monopolize the franchise, revoke the Open Gaming License which drew its existence from Gary Gygaz's printed intent for players to build up, share, and create content for the game system. It's printed in the forward of the book and written by the creator himself.

From 1978 to the present, through hundreds of different off game systems that grace our shelves and our hearts, it is as timeless as it is inspiring.
