Dungeons and Dragons was the first game in a long time that forced players to think and imagine. Created in 1974 and published by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR).Dungeons & Dragons's publication is widely regarded as the beginning of modern role-playing games and, by extension, the entire role-playing game industry.
Our sympathies go out to the entire Arneson family.
