Dave Arneson was the Co-creater of D&D. It took a 1979 lawsuit to give him recongization for his D&D contributions.
According to the Article: While the late Gary Gygax, who passed on a little more than a year ago, added fantasy elements to war gaming to create the basis for Dungeons & Dragons, it was Dave Arneson who took those rules and altered them to a point where instead of controlling large armies, players controlled a single character with a role to play, giving birth to the role-playing genre as we know it.
