Arguably the wilderness play came before the dungeon?
(Given: Use of Outdoor Survival, monster reference tables number & treasure for use in wilderness, and Arneson game history reports, I think.)

Michael Mornard would be the one to ask about that. According to Michael’s blog (I paraphrase) Rob Kuntz invited him to play Gary’s new game about exploring the dungeon under a castle. After a while they wanted to know what was over that hill, and they went to look.

I seem to recall reading that the first "D&D" session was a short thing in a dungeon? Wilderness exploration definitely joined the game early on in its pre-publication history, though. Arneson's players famously had an incident where they ignored dungeon play for too long and were thus underfunded when the baddies invaded and exiled them to Loch Gloomen, although I don't remember if that happened before 1974 and might be conflating multiple incidents. |
