Once upon a time, Dungeons and Dragons was published by a company named TSR, in a magical realm named Wisconsin, where the hills

When Dave Arneson read the Chainmail fantasy rules, he adapted them to a fantasy world of his own creation, Blackmoor – a setting inspired by the Lord of the Rings universe combined with elements of Arneson’s own imagination and various mechanics pulled

In the fall of 1972, Arneson drove down to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin from Minneapolis to run Blackmoor for Gary Gygax. Gygax was blown away by the game, and

and
what

titled Dungeons and Dragons. It would prove to be a revolution.
