Dave Arneson (October 1, 1947[2] – David Lance "Dave" Arneson (October Apri Aprill 7, 2009 2009)) was was an American American game desi designer gner best known for co-developing the first published published role-playing game (RPG), Dungeons & Dragons , with with Gary Gygax, Gygax, [3] in the early 1970s. Arneson’s early work was fundamental to the development of the genre, developing the concept of the RPG using devices now considered to be archetypical, such as adventuring in “dungeons”, using a neutral judge, and having conversations with imaginary characters characters to t o develop develop the storyline.[4]

Gygax subsequently founded TSR, founded TSR, Inc. to publish the game in 1974. Arneson worked briefly briefly for the company.

Arneson left TSR in 1976, and filed suit in 1979 to retain credits and royalties on the game. He continued to work as an independent game designer, briefly worked for TSR again in the 1980s, and continued to play games for his entire life. life. Arneson also did some work in computer programming, and taught computer game design and game rules design at Full Sail University from University from the 1990s until shortly before his death in 2009.

Following the departure of David Wesely to armed service duty in October 1970, Arneson began to imagine a medieval fantasy style Braunstein wherein the players explored the dungeons of a castle inhabited by fantastic monsters. [16][17][18] Arneson adjusted his Braunsteins to allow players to play themselves in the Barony of Blackmoor, where they would escort caravans, fight against the forces of evil, and delve into the sewers beneath Castle Blackmoor - which originated in a plastic kit that Arneson had of a Sicilian castle. [11]:6 Originally Arneson played his own mix of rules and used rock, paper, scissors to resolve combat, but later adapted elements from his naval wargame rules which had an armor class system like that later used in D&D . “I had spent the previous two days watching about five monster movies on channel 5’s 'Creature Feature' weekend, reading several Conan books (I cannot recall which ones, but I always thought they were all pretty much the same), and stuffing myself with popcorn, doodling on a piece of graph paper. At the time, I was quite tired of my Nappy (Napoleonic) campaign with all its rigid rules and was rebelling against it.” [19] The Fantasy combat system appearing in the Chainmail rules, written by Gygax and Jeff Perren and published in the spring of 1971, were also applied for a short time.[10] Finding those lacking, Arneson wrote modified rules to apply to his role-playing game scenarios. [5][7][12] The game that evolved from those modifications to Chainmail was the game Blackmoor , which modern players of D&D would describe as a campaign setting rather than a “complete game.” The gameplay would be recognizable to modern D&D players, featuring the use of fixed hit points, armor class, character development, and dungeon crawls. This setting was fleshed out over time and continues to be played to the present day. [20] Arneson described Blackmoor as “roleplaying in a non-traditional medieval setting. I have such things as steam power, gunpowder, and submarines in limited numbers. There was even a tank running around for a while. The emphasis is on the story and the roleplaying.” [19] Details of Blackmoor and the original campaign, which was by then established on the map of the Castle & Crusade Society's “Great Kingdom”,[21] were first brought to print briefly in issue #13 of the Domesday Book , the newsletter of the Castle & Crusade Society in July1972, and later in muchexpanded form as The First Fantasy Campaign , published by Judges Guild in 1977.[22]

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS
Dungeons & Dragons
Gary Gygax co-created the Dungeons & Dragons game with Arneson
In November 1972, Arneson and David Megarry traveled to Lake Geneva to meet with Gary Gygax. Arneson thought that Gygax would be interested in Megarry’s Dungeon! boardgame, which Megarry had developed as a player in Blackmoor, and Gygax had expressed a desire to play a game of Blackmoor itself. [26] After playing in the Blackmoor game Arneson refereed, Gygax almost immediately began a similar campaign of his own which he called Greyhawk and asked Arneson for a draft of his playing rules.[12] The two then collaborated by phone and mail, and playtesting carried out by their various groups and other contacts. Gygax and Arneson wanted to publish the game, but Guidon Games and Avalon Hill rejected it. Arneson could not afford to invest in the venture.[9][17][27]
Gygax felt that there was a need to publish the game as soon as possible, since similar projects were being Although much of what was later deemed to be "Tolkien- planned elsewhere, so rules were hastily put together and influenced” in D&D and the concept of adventuring in Arneson’s own final draft was never used.[9] Despite all “dungeons” [23] originated with Blackmoor , as a setting it this, Brian Blume eventually provided the funding rewas not purely fantasy-oriented, as it incorporated recent quired to publish the original Dungeons & Dragons set history and science fiction elements. These are visible in 1974, with the initial print run of 1,000 selling out much later in the DA module series published by TSR within a year and sales increasing rapidly in subsequent (particularly City of the Gods ), but were also present from years.[5][17] Further rules and a sample dungeon from the early to mid-1970s in the original campaign and paral- Arneson’s original campaign (the first published RPG lel and intertwined games run by John Snider, whose rule- scenario in a professional publication) were released in set developed from these adventures and was intended for 1975 in the Blackmoor supplement for D&D , named afpublication by TSR from 1974 as the first science fiction ter the campaign setting.[6] The supplement offered litRPG.[24][25] tle in the way of details from Arneson’s actual campaign,

however. [19] Blackmoor showed D&D as Arneson imagined it; as he had not been able to work with the final proofs of the original game, this was his first opportunity to present his take on the game. He included new classes for monks and assassins, more monsters, and “The Temple of the Frog”, the first published RPG adventure for other people to run.[11]:8 Although the book bore the setting’s name, it focused more on Arneson’s house rules rather than background material.[11]:388 Arneson formally joined TSR as their Director of Research at the beginning of 1976 but left at the end of the year to pursue a career as an independent game designer.[16][28]

After TSR
In 1977, despite the fact that he was no longer at TSR, Arneson published Dungeonmaster’s Index ,[29] a 38-page booklet that indexed all of TSR’s D&D properties to that point in time, including Chainmail , the original 3-book set of D&D , the five D&D supplements (Greyhawk ; Blackmoor ; Eldritch Wizardry ; Gods, Demi gods & Heroes ; and Swords & Spells ), and all seven issues of The Strategic Review .
Fantasy role-playing game (1981).[11]:39[19] The company also put out about a half-dozen Tékumel related books, due to Arneson’s friendship with M. A. R. Barker.[11]:39 Adventure Games was profitable, but Arneson found the workload to be excessive and finally sold the company to Flying Buffalo.[32] Flying Buffalo picked up the rights to Adventure Games in 1985; because Arneson owned a portion of Flying Buffalo, he let them take care of the rest of the company’s stock and IP when he shut the company down.[11]:39
While Gary Gygax was president of TSR in the mid1980s, he and Arneson reconnected, and Arneson briefly relinked Blackmoor to D&D [5] with the “DA” (Dave Arneson) series of modules set in Blackmoor (1986–1987). The four modules, three of which were written by Arneson, detailed Arneson’s campaign setting for the first time.[19] When Gygax was forced out of TSR, Arneson was removed from the company before a planned fifth module could be published. Gygax and Arneson again went their separate ways.[5] In 1986 Arneson wrote a new D&D module set in Blackmoor called “The Garbage Pits of Despair”, which was published in two parts in Different Worlds magazine issues #42 and #43. [11]:84
In 1988 Arneson stated his belief that RPGs, whether paper or computer, were still “hack and slash” and did not teach novices how to play, and that games like Ultima IV TSR had agreed to pay Arneson royalties on all D&D “have stood pretty much alone as quirks instead of trend products, but when the company came out with Advanced setters” as others did not follow their innovations. He Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D ) in 1977, it claimed that hoped that computer RPGs would teach newcomers how this was a significantly different product and did not pay to role play while offering interesting campaigns, and said him royalties.[30] In response, Arneson filed the first of that SSI's Gold Box games did not innovate on the genre [33] Arneson stepped into the five lawsuits against Gygax and TSR in 1979. In March as much as he had hoped. computer industry and founded 4D Interactive Systems, 1981, as part of a confidential agreement, Arneson and Gygax resolved the suits out of court by agreeing that they a computer company in Minnesota that is still in busiwould both be credited as “co-creators” on the packaging ness today. He also did some computer programming and of D&D products from that point on,[12] but the court worked on several games. He eventually found himself [5] ruled that Arneson was not due monies for the AD&D consulting with computer companies. game.[11]:11 This did not end the lingering tensions be- Living in California in the late 1980s, Arneson had a tween them.[5] (Twenty years later, Wizards of the Coast chance to work with special education children.

Guild in The First Fantasy Campaign (1977).[11]:39 In 1979 Arneson and Richard L. Snider, an original Blackmoor player, co-authored Adventures in Fantasy , a roleplaying game that attempted to recapture the “original spirit of the Role Playing Fantasy Game” that Arneson had envisioned in the early 1970s, instead of what D&D had become.[31] In the early 1980s he established his own game company, Adventure Games - staffed largely by Arneson’s friends, most of whom were also members of a Civil War reenactment group - that produced the miniatures games Harpoon (1981) and Johnny Reb (1983), as well as a new edition of his own Adventures in
In 1997, afterWizards of the Coast purchased TSR, Peter Adkison wrote a check to Arneson to free up D&D from royalties owed to Arneson; this allowed Wizards to retitle Advanced Dungeons & Dragons to simply Dungeons & Dragons .[11]:282 Around 2000, Arneson was working with videographer John Kentner on Dragons in the Basement , a video documentary on the early history of role-playing games. Arneson describes the documentary: “Basically it is a series of interviews with original players ('How did D&D affect your life?') and original RPG designers like Marc Miller ( Traveller ) and M.A.R. Barker (Empire

[7] Arneson and Dustin Clingman founded Zeitgeist Games to produce an updated d20 System version of the Blackmoor setting.[5] Goodman Games published and distributed Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor in 2004, and Goodman produced a few more Blackmoor products in the next year. [11]:387 Code Monkey Publishing released Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The First Campaign (2009) for 4th edition D&D .[11]:388
Turbine’s Dungeons and Dragons Online added an ingame memorial altar to Arneson in the Ruins of Threnal location in the game.[46] They also created an ingame item named the “Mantle of the Worldshaper” that is a reward for finishing the Threnal quest chain that is narrated by Arneson himself. The Mantle’s description reads: “A comforting and inspiring presence surrounds you as you hold this cloak. Arcane runes run along the edges of thefine cape, andmasterfully drawn on thesilken lining is an incredibly detailed map of a place named 'Blackmoor'.”[47]

On October 30, 2010, Full Sail University dedicated the student game development studio space as “Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor Studios” in Arneson’s honor.[48]
Personal life
Arneson married Frankie Ann Morneau in 1984;[35] they had one daughter,[2] Malia, and two grandchildren.[34]

Arneson continued to play games his entire life, including D&D and military miniature games, and regularly attended an annual meeting to play the original Blackmoor in Minnesota.[5] At Full Sail University he taught the class “Rules of the Game”,[12] a class in which students learned how to accurately document and create rule sets for games that were balanced between mental challenges for the players and “physical” ones for the characters.[36] He retired from the position on June 19, 2008.[37]

I think we get distracted by the everyday things you have to do in life and we forget to enjoy life and have fun.” [34]

Honors and tributes •
Arneson received numerous industry awards for his part in creating Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games. In 1984 he was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design’s Hall of Fame [39] and in 1999 was named by Pyramid magazine as one of The Millennium’s Most Influential Persons , “at least in the realm of adventure gaming”.[40] He was honored as a “famous game designer” by being featured on the king of hearts in Flying Buffalo’s 2008 Famous Game Designers Playing Card Deck.[41] Three days after his death, Wizards of the Coast temporarily replaced the front page of the Dungeons & Dragons section of their web site with a tribute to Arneson.[42] Other tributes in the gaming world included Order of the Stick #644,[43] and Dork Tower for April 8, 2009.[44] Video game publisher Activision Blizzard posted a tribute to Arneson on their website and on April 14, 2009, released patch 3.1 of the online role-playing game World of Warcraft , The Secrets of Ulduar , dedicated to Arneson.
