Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons (DnD or D&D) is a fantasy tabletop RPG originally developed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974. Today the game is published by Wizards of the Coast. The publication of D&D is considered to be the origin of modern RPGs. Check out our D&D lists:

I, for some reason, was very confused why the potions only had an effect when a character was drunk, as in inebriated. Then I realized. ? Thanks for the awesome list!
