The History of Dungeons and Dragons

Tunnels and trolls was created by Ken St. André who I've long loved because of his work on the Stormbringer Chaosium game which we really should cover. In 1975, he writes his own D&D and you recognize a lot of Dungeons and Dragons in it. There's no actual real change in the rules set. The first substantial revision that happens in the game is in 77 with the fourth edition then the fifth edition hits in 79. It has many print editions but as like a game system edition, fifth is sort of like the one that lasts the longest.
