Since D/D is all fantasy (correct me if I'm wrong I have a life so I don't know ) One could say the vary basic element behind it is derived from Tolkiens work, so Tolkien had a hand in creating the D/D universe you know. |
Yes but not the RPG game itself. And technically it is the "Father" of RPG, not the "Father" of High fantasy.
