The Making of Original D&D: 1970 - 1977

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.

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.

Sturdy, smaller sized supply caddy-well crafted.
Size: 5 Tiers (5.1"D x 39.2"H), Color: Rustic Brown + Classic Black
Why did you pick this product vs others?: Started out asking friends what they use for a cart - to clear stuff off their drawing boards, desks, etc. I've got an unusual amount of "things" in my workspace, and although I keep paints in a separate caddy to one side on my drafting table, the topside clutter was getting unbearable. Due to people giving me things, my interest in a few crafts, and just junk. Mainly I use the my wonderful, old, 1950s school cast-off - drafting table for painting - as it tilts and I have an edge on it. I've been wanting to also replace the top board, too. The usual caddies didn't appeal to me - the plastic ones annoy me as I can't see in the bins at what I should easily be able to reach and cannot see-though the opaque plastic. As I purged the clutter I realized I needed way less than I had and that's how I determined the size of the rolling cart. I use my spare garage and I have a lot of space, but that's the kicker - the more space you have the more things you could have, too. That's my reasoning for choosing a smaller cart. Narrow, to keep it minimal. Black metal to hide dirt. Wheels? a bonus - I'll just pull it back and forth out of its space--it's not going to be a trolley. I picked this one out of several because of price, and size, but I may come back at another time to purchase a larger one for the coat closet - mittens & hats & ski goggles & stuff.  I am going to look at the same brand, but I'm also going to choose one with sturdier wheels.  THIS CART was easy to put together, no issues at all. I didn't time myself - it took a while - under an hour is my best guess due to all the small pieces. I know it was manufactured this way to be able to fit it in as small a space-box for shipping, as possible. It was tedious, but certainly not an issue. Just lay it out the way the diagrams show you - they are perfectly done. It's sturdy enough as a supply caddy - you can't sit on the thing, or let kids romp on it but it's stiff in all the right places and the handle is perfectly placed. The top of it will hold my tablet or phone - next to my table; it's not a decor piece, but the black finish does look rather nice -with the faux wood/wood laminate top. Basket depth is well thought out, too. Coffee cans with paint brushes, some other tools, but the best part is no more clutter taking up space on top of my drafting table and I can actually use it the way it was intended!

Perfect fit

I was hesitant about ordering after reading some of the reviews, however it was exactly what I was looking for. It turned out to be a good investment, however the reviews were correct about the wobbly wheels. For the $ the wheels should have been made with better quality, which would have given the product more steadiness. Overall, a good product and it was easy to put together.

Great addition to my kitchen
Size: 5 Tiers (8.7"D x 39.2"H), Color: Rustic Brown + Classic Black
This fit my odd space between the wall and stove perfectly in height and width, I just wish it was long enough to go to the back wall. I found a tall shelf to fill the gap. The look of the cart accents my decor and will continue to match after I paint my cabinets. Assembly was straight forward and easy. Took about 10 minutes. The instructions were clear. The wheels don't like my tile for some reason so I'll have to get new ones from the hardware store, something that isn't plastic. This isn't an issue for the cart necessarily, my floor wasn't the best install. This cart works well on my other floors.
