So I ask for apologies in advance, and will say I'll let this topic die here. I was originaly going to write a lengthly post.. but its not really worth it. I will say you are woefully underestimating Dave Arneson's role, which it would seem most people do. Maybe I'm wrong in this, but I'll never understand why he is oft glossed over. I'll also point out that Forgotten Realms has really gone a long way to keep up the staying power of D&D, I think Ed deserves some credit for this too. Certaintly a lot is owed to Gary, without question. I was never debating his statement, only trying to say that sinces the first inspiration of D&D to its present state there have been so many people involved to make it what it is. Even original D&D doesn't resemble Conan's world much, even if that was the first inspiration. Some might say Star Trek had as much to do with it as Conan, but I wouldn't know. I wasn't there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
