Our community have several library boxes where people can trade books with each other.
Seeing that our old favorite White Box was so fairly priced we ordered a bunch of them and some dice sets to put out in our local boxes. Hopefully it allow someone to discover the joy of tabletop roleplaying!

We have been wanting to try out the original dnd rules as presented by the White box. My son asked me if we could play something where he could play a dragon. So why not, I thought to myself, and picked up this light weight combo:
And off we went to invade a Dwarf fortress full of undead monsters!
I just drew as he explored, giving his character the stats from one of the dragons in the game.
This seems to have gotten him inspired so when I finished work the other day he had prepared a dungeon crawl using (almost) the same set-up. Great way to end the day.
When I finished up work today my five year old son had prepped a Dungeon Crawl (~OD&D rules) he wanted to DM. Perfect ending to my day. pic.twitter.com/IRp750X8i0

White Box - Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game is an OD&D clone written by Charlie Manson.
I discovered it recently via Path Peculiar’s twitter. He displays some nice previews of the book, so linking the tweet here.
I love this iteration of #DnD. It’s so streamlined and elegant. This book can do pretty much everything I want in a D&D campaign. #ttrpg pic.twitter.com/d3sHwfyas0
