Dungeons & Dragons (Woodgrain Box & White Box Sets) (1974)

From the web:

The "original" Dungeons & Dragons created by master magicians Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. It was published in 1974 and is a bit of a far cry from the D&D that was yet to come. But it's amazing to see this early take on the rules.

There were just three classes included: Fighting Man, Magic User and Cleric. Four races: Human, Elf, Hobbit and Dwarf.

The game was based on the miniatures wargame Chainmail and it borrows heavily from those rules.

Subtitled :
Rules for Fantastic Medieval Wargames
Campaigns Playable with Paper and Pencil
and Miniature Figures

The set includes :
Volume 1 : Men and Magic
Volume 2 : Monsters and Treasure
Volume 3 : The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures
Reference Sheets

The original, the first, the Grandfather of them all, anyway you look at it this is the item that spawned an entirely new industry that is loved and enjoyed by millions of people today. The original Dungeons & Dragons box set was based on the fantasy portion of the earlier Chainmail rules and also suggested the use of Outdoor Survival, a board game from Avalon Hill. There have been many incarnations and editions of Dungeons & Dragons over the years but this is the product that started it all.
 

Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (1976)

From the web:

What the authors have done in this volume is to attempt to set down guidelines that will enable you to incorporate a number of various mythologies into your game/campaign. They make no claims that any of this material presented is exhaustive, or even infallible.

The final supplement to the original D&D game, Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes give the reader exactly what the title says, information on a variety of pantheons for use in gaming. This was the first place that statistics were introduced for deities and led to the ubiquitous “if it has stats we can kill it” mentality that has followed the game for generations. If you are a lover of D&D history, this book is an essential component for a complete collection.
 

Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry (1976)

 From the web:

The third supplement to the original Dungeons & Dragons first edition. This supplement adds several items related to magic and the use of magic. Druids are introduced as a player character and Psionic combat is also introduced. Many new monsters including Demons and Succubi along with many new magical treasures.

Eldritch Wizardry was the third supplement created for the D&D game. Unlike the first two supplements, this one didn’t offer new lands to adventure in, but rather offered options for players and Dungeon masters to broaden and enrich their existing worlds. Adding in such universally recognized expansions as the druid class, psionic power, and the hierarchy of demons and their lords, no lover of D&D history should be without this landmark supplement. 

Supplement II: Blackmoor (1975)

From the web:

The second supplement to the original Dungeons & Dragons first edition. In addition to new characters classes (the Monk and Assassin), additional monsters, new treasure items, and underwater adventuring, this includes some of the first references to Dave Arneson's "Blackmoor" campaign.

The book also contains a small adventure entitled "The Temple of the Frog".

Blackmoor was the second stop in the creation of D&D campaign settings. Dave Arneson, co-creator of the game that created and industry, made this land for his own personal campaigns and in 1975 showed this secret world to the rapidly growing fan base of the D&D game. It is a must have for any serious collector of D&D history. 

 

Supplement I: Greyhawk (1975)

From the web:

The first supplement to the original Dungeons and Dragons first edition. To quote the forward by Gary Gygax:

"There are new characters, new abilities, more spells to use, a horde of new monsters, heaps of new magical treasure, and various additions to the suggestions and rules for adventuring above and below ground."

This supplement introduces the Thief as a character class and Paladins as a sub-class of Fighting Men.

Greyhawk is the world where it all began, the personal campaign world of the creator of Dungeons and Dragons, and this booklet was the first glimpse the general public had into this unique land. Penned by the gaming giants of Gary Gygax and Robert Kuntz, no collection of D&D items is complete without this recognizable booklet.
 

Dungeons & Dragons Volume #3 - The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures

From the web:

Dungeons & Dragons Volume #3 - The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures contains the rules for the fantastic medieval wargames campaigns playable with paper and pencil and miniature figures.

The original, the first, the Grandfather of them all, anyway you look at it this is the item that spawned an entirely new industry that is loved and enjoyed by millions of people today.

Swords & Spells (1976)

From the web:

Swords and spells was never officially labeled as a supplement for the D&D game, but it was nonetheless intended as the fantasy successor to Chainmail. Loved by some as a much needed update and despised by other as a hastily-produced cash grab, whatever camp you fall in, the serious D&D collector cannot ignore the presence of this book as an influence on the early D&D game.
 

Traveller Boxed Set (1977)

From the box:

Welcome to the exciting universe of the far future! Who knows what the future holds? With Traveller, you can find out as you personally journey far into the depths of interstellar space and to the surface of alien worlds. With Traveller, you can choose your own destiny and attempt to fulfill it in a life of adventure, power, and fortune. With Traveller, the universe of the future is yours.

Traveller is a science fiction role-playing game of the far future. As science fiction, it realistically approaches the the problems of future society, and portrays what the coming millennia may bring. As a role-playing game, it enables each individual player to participate in the action, the suspense, the dangers, and the rewards of every adventure mission. Set in the far future, every scientific advance is possible, allowing the opportunity to understand and utilize the marvels of ultra-sophisticated technology.

Specific rules topics in this three-volume Traveller set include --

CHARACTERS-- Individual characters, the alter-egos of the game players, may be generated and recorded. Special rules cover skills, weapons, combat, material benefits, experience, in prior careers, and rank.

STARSHIPS-- Complete rules cover the design and construction of starships, including how much they cost, what profit can be made in commercial service, and rules for combat.

WORLDS-- Rules cover the characteristics of alien worlds, from simple facts of atmosphere and size to the types of animals and people to be found on them.

SPECIALS-- Additional rules cover special aspects of future society, such as trade and commerce, and special psionic powers.

This basic rules set provides all necessary information for understanding the Traveller game system, generating player characters, creating futuristic science fiction adventures, and playing Traveller. Additional books of rules, supplementary information, and adventure scenarios are available separately for advanced players.

Welcome to the exciting universe of the far future -- welcome to the universe of ... Traveller(tm).

 From the web:

Traveller is a science-fiction role-playing game set in the distant future, when humanity has made the leap to the stars and interstellar travel is as common as international travel is today. This means that Traveller is set against a background drawn from adventure-oriented science fiction literature, and the scope and breadth of the game are limited only by the imagination and skill of the players and their referee. Players are no longer limited to wandering inside a single underground labyrinth, to exploring a single continent, or even a single world. In Traveller there is an entire universe to be explored. Almost any situation which occurs in any SF novel, movie, or short story can be recreated in Traveller with a little work on the part of the referee.

In Traveller, mankind has conquered the stars, and travels from one stellar system to another as easily as present day Terrans can travel from one continent to another. The tremendous distances involved, however, dictate that interstellar voyages can take weeks, months, and sometimes even years. A situation similar to earth in the eighteenth century is created, where communication is limited to the speed of travel, and the stage is set for adventure in a grand fashion, with all the trappings of the classic space opera: giant, star-spanning empires (good, evil, or both), huge starfleets, wily interstellar merchants (or pirates, depending upon your point of view), complex diplomatic maneuvers, larger than life heroes, heroines, and villains the mind boggles.

 A king stands in the high turret of his castle, squinting at the distant hills. He can just make out the figures of his troops engaging the enemy in battle. As a damp breeze whips at his cloak, he contemplates the war. He has culled the best generals, captains, and troops from his land. His court wizard wields powers that unnerve even the most seasoned warriors. Can the forces he commands hold the enemy at bay? Or will the king awake at dawn to the pounding of battering rams and showers of deadly arrows? From the tower, the battle is impossible to judge. The ruler twists the royal signet ring on his finger nervously. Then, a ragged messenger races up the stair behind him, clutching a stained parchment. "Word from the general, your majesty," he pants.

4th Dimension (1977)

From the web:

4th Dimension is a very spacey-looking game with a small circular board divided into sectors each track of which has twice as many spaces as the one closer to the center. Each player get 6 warriors, 3 rangers, 2 guardians, and one time lord. Guardians can capture warriors and rangers; rangers can capture warriors; the time lord can capture rangers and guardians; but the lowly warriors are the only ones who can capture the time lord and win the game. Captures are made by moving next to rather than on top of enemy pieces. Each piece can move only one space at a time but they can also "warp" by leaving the board and leaving a 4-D marker behind. The piece can then stay in the warp zone for up to three turns or warp back onto the board up to two spaces away from the 4-D marker. This game has an inconveniently small gameboard and plastic pieces that look like little futuristic chairs.

Elminster's Ecologies (1994)

From the back of the box:

An Excerpt from
An Investigation into the Natural System of Organisms and Their Surroundings
by Elminster of Shadowdale

     The world is vast and varied, comprising towering mountains, dense jungles, and sprawling seas. There are regions so cold that their snow never melts, others so hot that their rain turns to steam as it touches the ground.
     It is this variety of environments that accounts for the variety of life. In my travels I have noted 73 distinct types of pine trees. . . . I estimate the number of fishes at well over five thousand. The number of insect species likely exceeds the number of grains of sand on the shores of Dragon Reach.
     Every environment, no matter how hostile to humankind, is compatible with some form of life. The diversity and adaptability of organisms are staggering. . . .

Within this set are nine booklets. Eight of them, each written by an expert in the area, describe various ecological niches on the continent of Faerun. Begin by reading the Explorer's Manual, which:

• introduces the reader to the organization of the eight area-specific booklets
• contains the whole of the above excerpt from Elminster's work-in-progress about Realmsian biodiversity
• provides color-coded encounter tables for the eight other booklets along with instructions for their use.

Would-be travelers are advised to read well the information presented by the Sage of Shadowdale and his eight compatriots, and to memorize the Rules of the Rabbit. There are only three: A rabbit isn't always a rabbit. A rabbit doesn't want to be rich. A rabbit doesn't always stay put. An explanation? You'll find it in the Explorer's Manual. Read on, thou hearty adventurer!

But mind me lads and lassies, there are other things there as well - danger and risk and uncertainty, and creatures never before seen by the likes of sell-swords and wizards who tread upon the sun-lit lands of the Realms.

"This place is called Undermountain. And it is far beneath the crust of this world, yet right under fair Waterdeep. It is a dangerous labyrinth nestled deep in the bowels of the earth. It is a dungeon. I, Elminster of Shadowdale, know well. I shall tell you of these twisting corridors, and of the man who made them his.

The Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Album (1979)

From the web:

This coloring book illustrates a story of an adventuring party and contains a simple single-level dungeon for one to four players. The dungeon uses a watered down version of D&D and only two six-sided dice are required to play.

As such, it is not strictly D&D or AD&D, but is categorized under AD&D due to the title and its time of release.

A storybook with line drawings to color in, but also has a game derived from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons which can be played either solitaire or by up to four players. A dungeon map with rooms is printed in the center of the book, and numbered passages corresponding with the rooms are scattered throughout. A party of characters is moved through the map, battling monsters until a treasure is found or everyone is killed. The scenario was designed and written by Gary Gygax.
