Possible Explanation For The Rise Of D&D

So, I'm reading the morning posts and start thinking about dice. Now, I've never been a big fanatic about dice, but I do have a fairly large collection and have studied the concept of the origins of those that are unique to gaming.

As I often do I decided to check in at Wikipedia and do a bit of background when my eye caught something on a secondary page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedral#Uses_and_natural_forms

And then it all began to make sense. The rise of D&D, how nothing could seem to beat it and how the games based on the common 6 sided die were always just a bit behind.

Note to William S. Burroughs-Viruses....they're not just for language anymore....
