5e is the fifth iteration of the game that spawned a thousand games, Dungeons & Dragons. The first roleplaying game, D&D was created in the early 1970s by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and published by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc (TSR). There is a rich history and controversy surrounding the game and anyone savvy enough to find my blog is savvy enough to use a web-based search engine to find out more information; please feel free to do so.
