Arneson sued TSR and the continuance of the D&D line was the result whether as part of the settlement or just a way to placate Arneson. When Gygax wrote AD&D, Arneson's name was not credited for authorship for the book meaning he wasn't entitled to any money from the publishing of the line. Does the author of the list have other information to say it actually came out in 1981?Īs for why the D&D and AD&D lines were split, I had read in several sources over the years that the split came about as a result of the Gygax/Arneson dispute over D&D royalties.

Tomorrow sometime, I'll post my own year-by-year thoughts about this list, but do feel free to make your own comments about it beforehand. What I like most about this list is the way it reveals trends in both the kinds of products TSR was publishing and the way that D&D was conceived of by the company.
