The actual release date for Original Dungeons and Dragons, or OD&D, is unknown, but it was released sometime in 1974. There was originally three booklets, all written as if the player previously knew how to play a similar game. The first 1,000 hand-assembled copies proved popular and sold quickly. This prompted TSR to create more copies and eventually more versions of the game.
