The Classic Dungeons & Dragons Game fue un producto
Además de la pantalla, las figuras, los dados, y demás parafernalia, la caja contiene un libro que guía al novato en el aprendizaje de Calabozos y Dragones a la vez que hace de libro de reglas: a medida que se va leyendo se pueden ver secciones sombreadas con una aventura de principio a fin que enseña como funcionan las reglas y el juego. Un antecedente del formato que ahora se conoce como Ready to Play (RtP).
La explicación de Role-Playing Game se encuentra en la página 2 de ese libro, titulado Rules and Adventures Book:
"A role-playing game is sort of like reading a story, watching a movie, and playing a game all at once.
As children, most of us played role-playing games. We called them something else, like ”cowboys and indians” or “cops and robbers,” but these games of make-believe were role-playing games. We assumed the roles of characters who were different from ourselves, then we played out a story. We acted as we thought our characters would act-saying what they would say, doing what they would do. We even pretended to fight when they would fight. That’s what roleplaying is: pretending to be somebody else.

Have you ever played make-believe, when the cop said he shot the robber and the robber said he missed her? A big argument usuallv followed. Sometimes the game was over and everyone went home angry.
In role-playing games, such as the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game, we have written rules to nelp us avoid these arguments. We use rules to determine whether the cop hits or misses the robber. We also use rules to determine other things the characters can do, such as casting magical spells or picking locks. Rules help solve arguments. They make role-playing more fun.
What about the reading-a-story-and-watcning-a-movie part? Just as you pretend to have horses and wagon trains in “cowboys and indians” games, you pretend to be in a world of magic and heroes when you play the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game. You and the other players can describe all the wonderful sights you see, and all the exciting battles you fight, as if you were characters in a story. With your imagination, you can create your own movie scenes (you’ll learn more about this as we go along).
In the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS role-playing game, you pretend to be a character, such as a proud warrior or a shrewd wizard. You and your friends use the rules to play out a story. Along the way, with a little bit of luck you can earn fame, treasure, and power for your character."
