Arneson started out as a wargamer including naval games. He soon develop some for his personal use do to the major publishers  slow release of games. With David Wesley and the other members of the Midwest Military Simulation Association, Arneson developed the basis of modern role-playing games with individual miniatures representing one person and having non-military objectives.

Arneson's Blackmoor was the first role-playing game, a genre in which players describe their characters in thorough detail and can attempt almost any action the character plausibly could. Ernest Gary Gygax, then a close friend of Arneson, worked with him during 1972–73 to develop the extensive set of rules (in this case three volumes) that such a game requires. This became the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons. With his experience with David Wesley, Arneson tried it with fantasy miniatures free style calling his game, Blackmoor. He then latched on Gygax's Chainmail miniature game and Fantasy supplement for resolution of battles. He show Gygax what he was doing. Gygax got involved and started preparing a set of rules to supplement Chainmail. They shop the game, Dungeons & Dragons, around to various gaming companies but got turned down. Gygax start a business partnership, Tactical Studies Rules  to publish the game in 1974. The game launch a whole new catagory in gaming.
