This box design is so wonderful it brings a tear to my eye.
Year: 2021
Tower of the Night (1981)
The crenellations on the top of the T in tower is a nice touch.
Dragonriders of the Styx (1981)
The most perfect ’80s D&D toys were knock-offs.
Campaign Sourcebook and Catacomb Guide
A book on RPG design theory? Put out by TSR? In 1990? And written by Jennell Jaquays? SIGN US UP.
Middle-Earth Role Playing (1985)
This Chris Achilleos cover painting is more metal than all of Tolkien’s work combine.
The Haunted Tower (1992)
Recycle Parkinson’s “Gods of Lankhmar” as much as you like, I love it on any cover, in any crop.
The Goblin’s Lair (1992)
It says “Goblin’s” but those are definitely Githyanki.
The Dragon’s Den (1992)
The first supplement box for the beginnger D&D features dragons, in a move that only makes sense to marketing people.
