[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 7267464, member: 6802178"] You missed the focus of what I was saying and have added extra scope to the question posed by the OP by doing so. We were talking about inspirations of ideas that had come into the game. At no point do I recall him saying these were HIS ideas - he was talking about D&D. So if Arneson brought something in then there was no attribution one way or the other in that conversation. Consider how many times have you heard people speaking about a game or campaign in terms that attribute the events to the characters or the game, and not the people playing it? It was inconsequential to me about the 'who' at the time so I didn't ask, and I cannot recall him offering such detail off his own back. Anyway, I am tired of having a more than 20 year old conversation I have very fond memories of picked apart by the cynicism of the overly-delicate and being passive-aggressively accused of making it up. I have recalled as much of it as I honestly can, so I'm done with this thread. [/QUOTE]
