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.
Not that he "had a hand in creating DND" But DND would likely not exist if Tolkien hadn't been around.
