As of 02-20-2013 WotC has re-scanned a new map, which is clean, and complete!

If you are a fan of the Moldvay (1981) version of D&D, you must buy this adventure module!

When I began to play D&D, this is was the standard for all other modules to follow... and the model for many of my own adventure modules.

Buy it! Play it! Rack-up some XPs!

This is the game I was introduced to over thirty years ago, the D&D Basic Rulebook. This is my favorite version of the D&D game. This is a wonderful, nostalgic find for me, and I hope WotC gives us the D&D Expert Rulebook, soon!

The D&D Basic game is easy to learn (and for referees to teach), Characters are simple... rolled-up, equpped, and playable in about 10 minutes.

If you are an old-timer like me, this book will help you re-capture the old magic, that sense of excitement and wonder that you felt when you first discovered the Original Fantasy Role Playing Game.

This is the game you are happy (and comfortable) to teach, and play with your kids. It is not dark, gritty, or morally complicated. These are the gaming traditions that are worth passing on.

If you have never played this version, I hope you will give it a try... c'mon, for $5 you won't be dissappointed.

The pdf is a good, clean scan, and prints good. It is bookmarked, and easy to navigate.
