The basis for the development of the genre, developing the concept of RPGs using currently considered classic equipment, such as the adventure in the "dungeon" and the employment of a neutral judge, who plays the role of Play as the voice and conscience of all other characters to develop the plot. Arneson discovered wargaming as a teenager in the 1960s and began to combine these games with the concept of role-playing. He was a student at the University of Minnesota when he met Gygax at a Gen Con gaming conference in the late 1960s. In 1970, Arneson created the game and the fictional world became Blackmoor, writing its own rules and based on medieval fantasy elements. Arneson showed Gygax the game the following year, and the two developed a set of rules to become Dungeons & Dragons.
