Back in the day, there were no [[TabletopRPG Role-Playing Games]]. None. Only [[WarGaming tabletop war games]]. Gygax (yes, despite sounding like the name of someone's own PC, that was [[AwesomeMcCoolname his actual last name]]) didn't like that at all, so he asked his friend Dave Arneson to make one. Arneson rewrote all of the rules to ''Chainmail'', a system that Gygax and the local shop owner Jeff Perren had developed, to create ''Blackmoor'', the first tabletop RPG. Gygax then, along with Arneson, worked to expand this from a simple add-on to ''Chainmail'' to its own system entirely. And thus, ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' was born.
