Dungeons and Dragons started off as a Role Playing Game in the 70s. Manual one and not computer based, obviously. Then they had movies, online versions, books etc.
HEAVILY inspired by Tolkien.
How great it is that your friend writes fantasy literature. I wrote a fantasy novel as well, but it now rests at the bottom of a river.
Interesting to hear about dungeons and dragons...I always thought it was just a training exercise for U12 tennis squads
