'''Dungeons & Dragons''' (abbreviated as '''D&D''' or '''DnD''') is a fantasy [[role-playing game]] (RPG) published by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax Gary Gygax] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Arneson David Arneson] in January 1974. It was first published by Gygax's company, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_Studies_Rules#Tactical_Studies_Rules Tactical Studies Rules] (TSR), and subsequently spawned the RPG industry. D&D is by far the best-known and best selling RPG, with an estimated 20 million players, many translations and over $1 billion in book and equipment sales (as of 2004). After TSR floundered in 1996, [[Wizards of the Coast]] acquired the company in 1997, including all rights to D&D. Two years later, Wizards was purchased by [[Hasbro]]. Owing partially to heavy marketing, products branded Dungeons & Dragons made up over fifty percent of the RPG products sold in 2002. The current edition of Dungeons & Dragons is the 4th edition. The game was the first to use the [[d20 system]] mechanic and ''open gaming license ''(up until 3.5 edition, this was the license used by Wizards of the Coast). The 4th edition was released under the ''game system license''. ==External links== *[http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome Dungeons & Dragons Official Website] *[http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/welcome Game System License] {{stub}} [[Category:Tabletop role-playing games]] [[Category:Fantasy games]]
