[QUOTE="Blackmoor_Film, post: 7978332, member: 6968402"] Having watched hour upon hour of Dave Arneson videos, I will tell you that people take him way too literally. He is often being quite ironic. Gail Gaylord typed all of the drafts Arneson was sending to Gygax. Hence Arneson always saying " I never typed a word of D&D." It was a jab at Gary and company for saying he could not type, yet still won the trial. When Arneson wanted to sue for royalties, he asked Gail if she had any fragments, she informed him that she had everything because she used carbon paper and made safety duplicates. Those likely still exist somewhere. We have hunches who has them. Some of it seems to be appearing in collector circles, which is a lot like dealing in stolen goods as the Arneson estate could still lay claim to them. It's not like they are going to come out in the open about it. [/QUOTE]
