If you believe the accounts of Crowther and Woods, they knew nothing of D&D and there were maybe a few thousand original poorly made copies of D&D at the time.

If you believe the accounts of Crowther and Woods, they knew nothing of D&D and there were maybe a few thousand original poorly made copies of D&D at the time. Only "wargamers" knew about it until the 80's.
From a historical perspective, even though D&D was published in 1974, its influence didn't kick in until years later.
