[Sacrosanct]

Just so you know, an 18 year old kid came up with the ranger and wanted it in the game. Not Gary, not Dave. Yes, Aragorn inspired said teenager, but that in no way proves that Tolkien had more of an influence on the creation of the game. It’s literal a fan creation.

You seem to keep making assumptions and claims that are wrong Maxperson. I’m also becoming convinced you didn’t even bother to read that article I linked to. When you make the claim because Gary mentioned Tolkien by name in OD&D as proof Tolkien had the most influence, and Gary’s own words way back in 1974 that literally say that isn’t the case, then yes. It is proof your claim and assumption were wrong. It directly refutes what’s you claimed

Y’all know that no one really cares about how much influence Tolkien had on a dead guy’s obsolete game, right? No disrespect meant, but I’m pretty sure you’re beating a dead horse here. Can you please take your love spat to a private room, or at least a thread where it’s relevant?

And he just forced Gary to accept it did he?

Reading Gygax with a hermeneutic of suspicion is wise, particularly when lawsuits and hard feelings are involved. However, arguing about it is slightly sillier than our silly game that we are playing, guys...
