Role, not Roll.
Originaly (so before D&D), RPG had a Game Master, which oversaw the game. In D&D, they call him the Dungeon Master. Why ?
Because D&D ruleset is oriented towards door-monster-treasure, which in video games is basically a hack'n slash.


You can't call D&D system the "original" rules, it's just the easyest rules for a Dungeon Master (just put some rooms and monsters, and some backstory). It's not even the first one to be created. It's like calling MacDonald the best restaurant, because lots of people go there, and the food is easy to make.

For RPG, there are many much better system for Role Playing (and again, not Roll Playing).

So again, D&D doesn't make original rpg, it's just the most popular (not even RPG for noobs, there are easyer and most complete systems), which system is only oriented towards combat.

For example, in magic using there is no difference between intelligence and knowledge (both should be different stats).
