A History of Dungeons and Dragons Game
Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. It was first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules (TSR) and has since been published by Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro, since 1997.
The game was inspired by miniature wargames, particularly Chainmail, a game Gygax co-created in 1971. D&D introduced a new element by allowing players to create their own characters and embark on adventures within a fantasy setting, guided by a Dungeon Master (DM). This innovative approach laid the foundation for modern role-playing games and significantly influenced the video game industry.
Over the years, D&D has evolved through multiple editions, with the 5th edition being the latest, released in 2014 and revised in 2024. The game has grown in popularity, with millions of players worldwide and adaptations in various media, including books, movies, and television shows.
