Thoughts about "The Secrets of Blackmoor"
When I first started watching the documentary, I thought it would be a quick story on how the game was invented and it was something they randomly came up with. In reality, however, there was more to it than that. I like how Dave Arneson used soldier or war-like figurines (AKA Russian soldier toys) to make a little prototype of the game, and how most of the co-creators use their inspirations on how they were fascinated by caves and creatures into a game about mythical creatures, critical thinking, and problem solving. I also found interesting that it was originally called "Blackmoor" at the start before it became Dungeons and Dragons.
