...Beyond This Point Be Dragons...

User summary: ...Beyond This Point Be Dragons... is thought to be a very early "edition" or implementation of Dungeons & Dragons. It frequently is referred to as the "Dalluhn Manuscript" (because it was purchased by Keith Dalluhn from a M. A. R. Barker garage sale). The typewritten manuscript is uncredited and unique, and has occasioned extensive discussion regarding the earliest history and development of Dungeons & Dragons. Copies of the document have circulated with increasing frequency, including some standardized and excellently produced PDF versions. The copyright status, origin, and provenance of the document are, at best, uncertain. The internal pagination is discontinuous. Some researchers have suggested pages with only art could have been inserted into the document after its initial publication.
