This is so unbelievable, yet believable, at the same time! This guy deserves his own sitcom!

While they had different royalty rates, I believe the reason was because Gygax convinced Arneson that 5% rate they were entitled to on D&D per their original 1975 agreement was excessive. Arneson appears to have agreed to a 2.5% rate as part of their March 6, 1981 settlement agreement.

Fascinating read, Rob! Meeting the real Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, and having them ask for your signature on their copies of Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes, in addition to meeting M.A.R. Barker, all in one weekend, must have been mind-blowing! I went through The Dragon and found the following about...

If you read just one section, read section 10. Personally, I think the evidence within the data itself indicating that the third table represents the correct chronological order is very strong. In some ways, this kind of evidence is superior to a document, as a document can be forged...

What follows is a rewrite of an article posted previously to make it easier to follow, with additional explanations, shading in the tables, etc. Intrinsic Evidence that Chainmail’s Fantasy Supplement Contains Material from Dave Arneson 1 Abstract An analysis of three lists of creature names...

In the case of Lowkey13, it seems that he harbors some heavy bias and should probably have abstained from posting in this thread, as it obviously requires some open-mindedness.

The testimony of the people directly involved in a dispute is typically given less weight than other evidence; consider a typical criminal case, for example.

OK, lets revise the narrative to account for this (Note that this invalidates none of the points indicated by the analysis at the top of the thread). Perhaps instead of sending Gygax a copy of Patt's article, Arneson simply told Gygax that Patt's article appeared in vol. 2 no. 7 of the Courier...

If the analysis at the top of this thread is correct, then a number of conclusions should be able to be drawn from it and supported with evidence. One of the conclusions drawn from the analysis that has been examined in this thread so far is that Arneson’s Blackmoor campaign must predate...

Innuendos, Jon, but never a direct refutation. I will purchase $200 of Rob Kuntz’s new Red Book line and distribute it to the folks in this thread for free if you will simply state, directly, that you do not believe that there is any material from Arneson in the Fantasy Supplement of Chainmail.

I have some new information to respond to increment's post with, so here we go… Can you be more specific than “earlier looks”? Where was it stated prior to Playing at the World that Chainmail was published in March besides the 2006 Acaeum forum post? Here’s the March issue (for research...

@increment can you please tell us the correct citation for the quote on page 42 of Playing at the World? I've looked through WGN #110 and I cannot find that quote. Here's a link to it (for research purposes only) if anyone else wants to look: Wargamers-Newsletter-110.pdf
