The original Dungeons & Dragons was published in 1974 as a boxed set containing three separate booklets:
This original version of D&D only included a few of the elements considered core to modern D&D and required the player to own several other games in order to make full use of the rules, however it is considered the first of what we now consider role-playing games and, along with its supplements, is responsible for the creation of the genre itself. |

| Greyhawk | Gary Gygax, Robert J. Kuntz | 1975 | 68 | ISBN unknown | ||
|
The first supplement for the original D&D game, Greyhawk focused primarily on rules and removed the game's dependence on the Chainmail rules. Despite the name, the Greyhawk supplement was not intended as a setting supplement, but rather featured rules used in Gary Gygax's Greyhawk campaign. It was published in 1975 by TSR, Inc.. |

| Blackmoor | Dave Arneson | 1975 | 60 | ISBN unknown | ||
|
The second supplement for the original D&D game, Blackmoor added rules, monsters, treasure and is notable for containing the first published adventure for a role-playing game - "Temple of the Frog". Like Greyhawk, its focus was more on rules than setting material, despite the name. It was published in 1975 by TSR, Inc. |

| Eldritch Wizardry | Gary Gygax, Brian Blume | 1976 | 60 | ISBN unknown | ||
|
Eldritch Wizardry was the third supplement for the original D&D game and is most notable for introducing some of its most famous monsters, such as demons and mind flayers. It was published in 1976 by TSR, Inc. |
||||||
| Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes | Robert Kuntz, James M. Ward | 1976 | 72 | ISBN unknown | ||

Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes was the fourth supplement for the original D&D game and adapted a variety of real-world and fictional pantheons for use in the D&D game. It was published in 1976 by TSR, Inc. |
||||||
| Swords & Spells | Gary Gygax | 1976 | 45 | ISBN unknown | ||
|
The fifth and final supplement for the original D&D game focused on providing a new diceless set of rules for large battles between armies. Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes stated itself to be the "last supplement" for D&D in its introduction, and Swords & Spells did not have the official "Supplement V" designation on the cover. It was published in 1976 by TSR, Inc. |
