The Plot Points Podcast host -- who has been working on a book about the '97 buyout of TSR by WotC -- did a "history of D&D in five minutes" part to his "Why TSR failed" lecture, in which me mentions Arneson and his interpretation that the Blackmoor that Dave ran for Gary is the first game of D&D.

I thought to myself "But Havard isn't at GenCon, is he?" when I heard the shouted "AMEN!" at the lecturer's insistence that Arneson is due more mention. :lol:

I listened a bit to that "history" and so much was wrong I just sighed and hit the stop button.

If that much is wrong, how much else is wrong?
