French Moldvay Set - by Adrian Newman
Article by Mr. Adrian Newman (On Instagram : @dnddaily, Official website : www.tsrarchive.com, Twitter: @dnd__daily) Today I’m going to take an in-depth look into the very first translated Dungeons & Dragons product, the French adaptation of the 1981 Basic Set, typically referred to as the Moldvay Basic, after editor Tom Moldvay. TSR had dabbled with foreign distribution as far back as 1978, with Games Workshop locally producing and distributing D&D products in the U.K., but they didn’t get involved with translations until several years later. Released towards the end of 1982, the French version is the only translated edition of the Moldvay set and the only translated product to bear the old TSR face logo. Let’s start by taking a look at the box. Though still featuring the classic Erol Otus artwork, the cover treatment is radically different. Perhaps predicting things to come, the art is resized and framed in bright red, strongly resembling the Mentzer Basic Set
