DECENT, VERY PLAYABLE MOLDVAY BASIC D&D SET INCLUDES NOTABLY CLEAN RULEBOOK AND B2, WITH NEW DICE SET AND BAG!This was the short-lived and frankly overlooked and underappreciated 1981 Basic D&D rules revision of the limited, somewhat unplayable (by modern standards) 1977 Holmes Basic D&D series. Not as immediately iconic as the Holmes set (though that was easily the worst of the three primary Basic D&D versions) and not as resoundingly popular and undisputably classic as the 1983 Mentzer Set, the Moldvay version still has a lot of very good things going for it, especially when compared to the Holmes rules which were the first to be adapted from the 1974 Original Dingeons & Dragons rules by Gygax and Arneson. it also has the unique surreal but stunning cover artwork by Erol Otus, along with distinctive interior art with lots of personality by Otus, Bill Willingham, Jeff Dee and others. It also introduces that ferocious warrior-woman heartthrob that appealed to the hormones of countless adolescent male D&D geeks---Morgan Ironwolf! This set also has the later Face-Logo version of "B2: Keep On the Borderlands", which is an almost perfect way to start using the Moldvay Basic D&D rules. (The earlier version of B2, with the Wizard logo, is somewhat incompatible since it uses Holmes Basic D&D rules, and was

included in the last few 1979-1980 versions of the Holmes set.)The original RPGA insert as well as the 1981 TSR catalog are missing. Because the original six dice and crayon are not present, I have added a new 10-pc set of white-inked red dice including 1d4, 4d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d00-90, 1s12 and 1d20. Also included is a brand-new silver colored simple velveteen dicebag for your convenience.This is a 10th Print Basic Set (printing number includes all combined printings of the Basic set rules by Holmes, Moldvay, Mentzer, and the later 1990s Lorraine Williams era abominations). The B2 module is a 3rd Print. Thanks again to the crew for that information!BOX TOP: All four corners intact (no splits) but has one large puncture over the magic-user and one small puncture over the dragon's left eye. One gouge to the dragon's shoulder is almost a puncture, but doesn't break through. Box top has moderate crushing damage, some abrasion, but is intact. There are bits of tape on the side panels. BOX BOTTOM has two fully split corners (one is taped together), the other visibly frayed), one partially split corner reinforced with tape, and a fourth corner that is not split but is still reinforced by tape. The inside of the box bottom has still more tape. The rest of the bottom has minor creases and abrasion. RULEBOOK: Nice and clean! Minor cover abrasion and creases, staples that are fully clean on the inside and have bare minimal outside rust, discolored spot at bottom of B11 and 13, stray pencil marks on B12-13, folded bottom corner tip B13-14, faint smudges B16, corrected fold B17-28. B2: 3d Pt, has only small creases and tiny staple rust stain. please take a good look at the photos!PayPal types of payment ONLY, please. Domestic shipping is normally Priority Mail or better.
