The following, I have found very useful in the making of this web site.
Being the one single person most identified with Dungeons and Dragons, it is only fair to list him first. Relatively informative.
UPDATE!! 2nd June 2003: It looks as if the gygax.com domain has disappeared and been taken by some evil ISP company!
UPDATE!! 3rd June 2003: Well, it looks as if someone was trying to con Mr. Gygax by domain-squatting. Luckily, the egarygygax.com domain was available. It should have content soon.
UPDATE!! 8th Februraru 2005: There is an error on the page!
As the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, Dave Arneson's website contains a lot of insight into the original Dungeons and Dragons game.
This is a website that is primarily for collectors of D&D and first edition AD&D. It is a great resource if all you want is pictures and printing histories of D&D items. All my links to cover art lead to this site.
This link takes you to the ultimate TSR product list, which has been invaluable to my efforts.
This site was put together by Adrian Newman. Essentially, it is a pretty much complete list of every TSR product ever released, divided by product range, and with the cover graphics. I have to admit that I initially found this site frustrating, because there was no commentary from the site designer. However, I have subsequently linked to it from some of my own pages, because it effectively complements the material found here, by providing pictures and the occasional bit of back cover copy I couldn't be arsed typing out.
This is the official website for the OD&DITIES Original Dungeons & Dragons fanzine, which can be downloaded as PDFs.
Currently at issue 12
A website devoted to role playing games which contains a lot of good articles on and comment about Dungeons and Dragons.
Naturally, this only covers the 3rd edition game, which I have little interest in. However, the Downloads link from this page leads to a page where you can download interesting stuff, including the "notorious orange" version of B3 - Palace of the Silver Princess (see: here ).
Addresses for ex-TSR employees.
Part of the Dragonsfoot role-playing games site. A forum devoted to all non Advanced and 3rd edition varieties of Dungeons & Dragons
This is a very good site for finding older roleplaying stuff. The owner is very professional, and I have never had any problem with him.
Unfortunately, this is not online, but I heartily recommend this set of 5 CDs covering "The Strategic Review" from 1 to 7, and Dragon Magazine from 1 to 250. I have used this to clear up some of the reasoning behind the various BD&D rules. In the later issues, they even start reviewing their own products! It amazes me that considering it is a house magazine, there are so few "puff" promotions in the earlier issues.
In any case, this is only place you will be able to get the unexpurgated "Voyage of the Princess Dawn" series, which was only partially reprinted in the Champions of Mystara box set. Admittedly some of it appears in the later Savage Coast boxed set, but the maps have no hex grid, and it is all updated for use for 2nd edition AD&D (grr!).
A couple of years ago, you were still able to purchase this new from Amazon and Barnes and Noble, however it now seems to not be stocked anywhere. Your best bet (as ever) is EBay.
A great place if you want to find both old and new roleplaying materials. But beware of bad spelling, worse grammatical construction, and some very misleading sales pitch.
