Dangerous Journeys
Dangerous Journeys was a roleplaying game created by Gary Gygax, the cocreator of the original Dungeons & Dragons system. The game was originally announced as Dangerous Dimensions but was changed to Dangerous Journeys in response to a threat of a lawsuit from TSR, Inc., the publishers of Dungeons and Dragons, and the
company Gygax had cofounded, over objections that the "DD" abbreviation would be too similar to "D&D." Created after his departure from TSR, the publication of this series of books by Game Designers' Workshop was met with lawsuits by TSR, which ultimately saw the production of the game system cease. The design of the
game system addressed many of the perceived flaws and limitations of the older AD&D game system, such as a lack of a skill system and rigid, class-based restrictions on weapons. According to a FAQ on the official Gary Gygax website, the Mythus Fantasy setting for Dangerous Journeys was one of several settings planned
for the system.
