Hello,
according to this DDO article https://www.ddo.com/news/ddo-producer-letter-2024 , D&D turns 50 this year !
The article in Wikipedia about D&D says this :
Mischief Inc's New 1st Ed. AD&D Game Module "A Forgotten Evil" + a Revamp !
Mischief Inc's first KickStarter is up & running for their latest 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, game module called "1A: A Forgotten Evil" plus a revamped "F1: Tomb of Rakoss the Undying" !
Check it all out...
Thus it was written in the DM's Guide back in 1979.
Computer games didn't really follow this idea. At first they really couldn't have - how do you show a sword barely grazing a character when you've only got a 16x16 sprite to work with? So games actually went with the "preposterous" notion...
