dnd date move

Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax were selling Dungeons and Dragons out of their houses for most of 1974, and it didn't get spread around the country until 1975. So the games that based on D&D must have come out in 1975 at the earliest. I moved dnd to 1975 as a result, and formatted the two games there as a pair.MobyMimic 06:38, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
