Warehouse find!
Unearthed in the catacombs of our warehouse, a very limited number of copies of the five staple-bound B/X Essentials booklets, printed in 2018.

B/X Essentials was an early precursor of the ever-popular Old-School Essentials. While the Old-School Essentials Classic Game Set presents the same game in a deluxe, much more polished form, these early booklets provide a fascinating insight into the game’s development. Grab these Essential collector’s items while they last!
