Games Workshop and TSR had a good working relationship for a while; articles from White Dwarf became fodder for TSR's Fiend Folio, which was originally supposed to be published by Games Workshop. It was, frankly, in Games Workshop's interest to capture the D&D fanbase to their fantasy games, starting of course with the wargame only a few years after their relationship with TSR collapsed.I think it would be shortsighted indeed to claim that Games Workshop's D&D-like fantasy world owes nothing to D&D - and it is very D&D-like when you compare it to the broader fantasy genre. The differences which loomed so large back in the 1970s and 1980s are a lot less meaningful nowadays - hell, I remember when Dragonlance was considered something very different from the normal Tolkienesque fantasy settings of D&D, but today I think most people would consider them all very similar.</blockquote>
