#RPGaDay2022 – Day 2: What is a great introductory RPG?

The best introductory tabletop RPG is the D&D Basic Set!

There are two versions, one by Tom Moldvay (usually called B/X Basic) and one by Frank Mentzer (usually called BECMI Basic, comes as separate Player's Manual and DM's Rulebook):

D&D Basic Set Rulebook by Tom Moldvay
D&D Basic Set by Frank Mentzer

Both cover all the fantasy tabletop RPG tropes, have all the necessary rules for both the players and game masters, are easily understood, chock-full of examples and inspiring illustrations.

And the best thing? More than 50 years of content readily available online. There is a high probability someone out there already made whatever you might think of.

Both can be legally obtained for less than $10—just print them at your local shop and start playing with some friends!
