When Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson were working on D&D together, Arneson created an entire game within a game for D&D. It was called Battle in the Skies, or BITS. Due to its length it was redacted and not included in the final publication.

an update for the game module book: The lost Dungeons of Tonisborg
It is coming along nicely. The writing is all done and it is being proofed. We just need to get more art, do the layout, and of course print and ship them!

I don't have much money so I didn't kickstart this but I did watch this on-demand Saturday night. I liked it a lot but was a bit disappointed that the Blackmoor fantasy roleplaying portion was mostly the last 30 minutes of the documentary. Overall I found the movie very interesting to see how the game evolved and progressed from the mid-60s onward into what became D&D. It was cool how the players referred to it as playing Blackmoor rather than D&D mostly. One thing the movie got me thinking was how the game has evolved, well my games at least, to move away from the "what do you do", where every action was closely thought out to a more streamlined resolution paradigm. Made me consider going back to that. Also liked how the guy from Judges Guild (I think) was willing to sacrifice his un-opened copy of the first campaign and opened it on camera. For the 2 hours and $4 it was worth watching and brought back quite a few memories from my early years of gaming in the 80's.
