    Record of Lodoss War was originally a 1st edition D&D campaign log published in a Japanese Magazine long before it got an Anime and other stuff.

    Most notable difference plot-wise is that the Elf Deedit was not Fighter Parn's love interest(they were both played by straight men), rather she tried to seduce or con him multiple times to get a hold of his fancy sword so she could sell it for a fortune.

    The creators tried to make a licensing deal with TSR to get the Lodoss setting officially published under the D&D banner, but they declined so instead they created an entirely new Tabletop game called Sword World for the setting.
