I cast "River of Tears"!

Did you know …

That the first tabletop role playing game was invented by none other than the famous physicist, Albert Ebstein? It’s true!

The game was called “A. Einstrein’s Dungeons & Dragons Subterranean Adventure,” and the only character available to players was an elf mage named “Alan Epstein.” In the game, a party of Alans would explore wood-paneled dungeons and roll dice to determine the probability of winning arguments with their wife, wetting the bed, winning three-legged races, and cracking the atom.

The game was not popular, and seems to only have ever been played by core members of the Manhattan Project.
