    TSR The Dueling Essays of Arneson & Gygax

    Reading through and making corrections. The Rock Paper Scissors story is a myth. They had dice.

    TSR The Dueling Essays of Arneson & Gygax

    The core premise of the trial was that AD&D was derived from OD&D, thus Arneson was entitled to royalties from both works. When I say derived, I mean plagiarized. The trial evidence presented by Arneson's lawyers was targeted at proving OD&D was the source, and it was very strong evidence too...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    Most people like to ignore what Gary wrote about Arneson early on. If you look at early issues of the Dragon magazine you can see Gary using Blackmoor as an example of the longest running campaign. You can read the foreword to Blackmoor supplement and Gary pretty much gushes about how brilliant...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    Agreed, I am tired of seeing passive aggressive seemingly polite language passed off as anything other than Trolling. I am done acknowledging people who do not pose interesting observations.

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    The letters are vague. I am always up for corroborating all other evidence. This all fits and makes sense. My hunch is Gary went to play with the Blackmoor Bunch. What else would you do if you had played your first RPG and were excited about its potential? But I do have someone describing the...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    This is something I have been chasing down Rob. I have records to support that Greg Svenson is the second person to referee an RPG in Blackmoor. This through interviews, and corroboration with Corner of the Table Top. Then I have that you are most likely the 3rd Referee with your attempt to...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    What Rob is describing can also be compared to computer programming. The Game Engine, or Play Method is the core of this system. So lets pretend the Game Engine is a computer program and that you are using an object oriented computer language. You have a Main program module that begins the...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    How do you know? Sky is Green - I know! Right from the beginning your arguments are shallow and not very sophisticated. I would say that you do not know enough about what Braunstein is to really pass judgment on it. If you did know, you would realize that Braunstein is a kind of role playing...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    When I see people questioning Rob Kuntz I have to wade in as well. It's easy to go online and be yet another self made expert. So my first question is: Who are you that you think you can disparage Rob Kuntz freely while hiding behind internet anonymity. My second question is: what are you...

    I draw the occasional D&D map

    Gonna have to "barrow" those Seven Spires maps for the current Blackmoor campaign. I've gotten tired of the players always going to the dungeon, so I am putting a door in the dungeon that leads to a wilderness. Kind of like the wardrobe in the CS Lewis books. Thanks Dyson!

    Kickstarter [KickStarter] Secrets of Blackmoor Documentary Film

    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. More stuff to read...
