D&D to-do:

view

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Merge : Various articles
Stubs : Dungeoneer's Survival Guide, Swords & Spells, Variant Dungeons & Dragons games, More...
Update : Rewrite to be out-of-universe: Companions of the Hall, Dark Sun, Elf (Dungeons & Dragons)
Verify : add sources to novels planned for merge to List of Dragonlance novels
Other : Collaboration: Dave Arneson, Drow (Dungeons & Dragons)

Merge

Maybe it's a good idea to merge this with something, but I don't think game mechanics is the right one. Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons) would be the obvious choice, but that page is pretty big and I've been trying to break it down a bit. - Peregrinefisher 03:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

importance

D&D breath weapons were, of course, based on myth/legend/literature--such as the iconic fire-breathing dragon; but D&D called them breath weapon, systemized them, & possibly came up with a few without precedence in myth/legend/literature. This systematic approach to breath weapons has surely had influence on video games (e.g. the fourth Spyro the Dragon) & fantasy literature. --71.145.188.110 06:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
