Now that, my good man, is a lie. I know this because I have been doing a lot of research recently into the history of wargaming and its evolution into the different forms (miniature, card, rpg, board) for a uni project. D&D was far from the first - its is just the most universally well known and longest surviving.

sad news certainly, but not something that really affects me - or anyone who actually plays D&D as its not like he was still a key part of the game design team i suspect.
