I wrote a 15+ page paper on Tolkien, his works, his life, and what he did for modern fantasy.

Theres a very very very good chance I know more about Tolkien than everyone on this site, just off the info I learned from doing the paper. I literally picked up every book about him, about his work, and about his life I could and read them all. I know Tolkiens **** in and out, and what I'm saying is that people saying "lol tolkien is the grandfather of rpgs" is retarded.

Did he do a lot for modern fantasy? Yeah, of course. I'm not saying he didn't. But that doesn't mean he should be credited for DnD like you guys are apparntly trying to do.
